How pad printing works
	Pad printing was created in the sixties and is an indirect intaglio printing process. The etched image is covered with ink by a "spatula", the excess ink wiped off by a doctor blade leaving ink only in the etched image.This ink is the picked up by a silicone rubber pad and transferred to the product surface. To reach a very good printing quality it is absolutelly necessary to work on a cliché with an irreproachable surface.
