Sažetak
Pad printing is a printing process, which enables printing on substrates where other printing techniques show limitations or cannot be used at all. This printing technique enables transferring 2D images onto 3D objects. It allows for quality printing on irregular shapes and uneven surfaces, thus lending printers an enormous versatility. Pad printing process has three key elements: the printing pad, the printing form, and the printing ink. During printing, an image is transferred from a printing form onto the printing substrate via the pad. Flexibility of this technology enables printing on flat and/or round surfaces, regardless of the type of the substrate. Various substrates and products such as plastic, glass, ceramics, wood, medical devices, foods, and so on can be used. The only limitation of the pad printing technology is the image size ; usually largest designed images are made in the size of 50–100 mm.
