INKS commonly used in today's pad printing applications lack opacity - a major attribute which disappeared when heavy metals were removed from inks. To achieve the former level of brilliance and opacity, pad printers are forced to double print ("double hit") the substrate.
This is GOOD for the printing equipment OEMs, whose pad printing and screen printing equipment receive twice the wear and tear for the same amount of printing, generating a sizeable increase in sales for replacement equipment, parts and supplies. This is, however, BAD for the pad printing and screen printing operations, who have to pay to replace those supplies and equipment.
PRISMFLEX, exclusive master distributor in the U.S., Canada and Mexico for SUN CHEMICAL, Switzerland, now offers high opacity pad printing and screen printing inks which return the printer to "one hit" printing, increasing profits and preserving expensive equipment.
The PRISMFLEX lineup includes single and two-component inks for all substrates, including flexible inks, inks for high-speed printing, UV inks, and other inks tailor-made for your application, and kept in stock for immediate shipment for your convenience. PRISMFLEX also has a wide variety of thinners, cleaners, additives, doctor blades and other accessories, and technical assistance for start-ups or production problems is always just a phone call away.
