Industrial Inkjet vs. Pad Printing

Can't decide between industrial inkjet and pad printing? There's a wealth of reasons why pad printing is superior.

Industrial Inkjet Printing

  • The ink jet market is still not established for the industrial process where speed and colour is concerned.
  • Print resolution is sacrificed when printing in higher speeds.
  • The hidden running/maintenance costs of inkjet are very high.
  • Limited printing surface of 3mm height variances.
  • Can only print in process colours; printing in white for industrial applications is still not satisfactory, and printing metallic colours such as gold and silver is not possible.

The Benefits of Pad Printing

  • Almost any material, including glass, ceramic and metal can be printed with suitable inks.
  • Ability to print fine details - resolution is far better than other printing applications.
  • High resistance of printing inks - depending on ink type used, extremely high resistance against mechanical abrasion or chemicals can be achieved.
  • Easy handling and little maintenance - compared to other printing processes, pad printing is easy to learn.
  • Multi-colour printing: wet on wet (the possibility to apply multiple prints without intermediate drying).
  • Short tooling-up times - plates and inks can be exchanged within a few minutes.
  • Low set up cost - plates can be produced in-house.
  • Relatively low space requirement - compared to other process printing machines, pad printing equipment is space efficient.
  • Low drying cost - in the simplest case, air drying at room temperature is sufficient.
  • Integration into complex systems, inline production and assembly lines - for years there has been a successful combination of pad printing systems with injection moulding equipment or assembly lines.

We strongly recommend pad printing over industrial inkjet printing. Feel free to contact us to discuss the best option for you.
