There are many problems that can arise during the printing process. The issues that immediately spring to mind when it comes to production are ones that involve the efficiency of the machines, pads or plates, their integration in the chain of production and, therefore, their reliability. Rarely does the issue of static electricity rank high in the list of potential problems. Unfortunately static electricity can cause a much larger issue to your printing line than one would think, which is why after years of research and development Tampo Canada introduced our line of Anti Static Print Pads.

Over the past few weeks we’ve discussed many of Tampo’s services. From our line of green friendly products, to specific printing methods to provide you and your clients with a strong idea of what we can offer you in terms of printing solutions. But how do you get the best quality image possible on your product? The key starting point is by providing the best quality graphic to be reproduced by our services. This is why we ask for a Vector graphic over Bitmap or any other form.

The name Tampo has always been synonymous with cliché pad printing, but our introduction of the Rotary Tampon Printing system may be one of our innovations that you are unfamiliar with. Rotary Tampon Printing allows you to the ability to print on the circumference of any rounded material. The best examples being syringes, small laboratory tubes, refills for writing utensils, or cylindrical working pieces. Our Rotary systems can easily handle single or multi colored markings with exceptional color brilliance even at a 0.1 mm line thickness. A production line of standard medical syringes, working continuously, would achieve an output upwards of 600 cylindrical pieces per minute in multi-color utilizing our Rotary Printing flow. It also will print on slightly uneven surfaces with the exceptional quality.

In 1993 Tampo had the innovative idea of manufacturing tampon printing clichés using laser technology. This concept was integrated with two goals in mind. To speed up the cliché manufacturing process, and more importantly to lessen the environmental impact traditionally associated with the printing industry. In the same year, the construction of a laser system was started.

A decade before any of our competitors had even considered implementing Digital Imaging into the fold, Tampo was there. We recognized immediately the industrial and environmental benefits of this technology. From that moment we began to develop and improve it until we reached the best line of Digital Imaging products on the market. When Tampo started with this process it was very much a chemical and mechanical based application.

In our ongoing mission to bring our clients the latest and most innovative technologies in the marketplace, we at Tampo would like to introduce to you the NEW Cool Green, Water Wash Photopolymer Plates. With the help of our friends at TOYOBO, we were able to develop and implement our Cool Green, Water Wash Photopolymer Plates.
