Probably the most difficult question to answer about the pad printing process is, "How do I determine what pad to use?" One answer won't apply for every shop or application. Rather than lay down inflexible rules, this article will provide a methodology for determining the optimum pad characteristics and a framework you can work within to get the best performance from your pads time after time. As prior articles in "Screen Printing" magazine ("Pad Printing: Controlling Ambient Conditions for Better Quality," July '94, page 94 and "Cliché Selection in Pad Printing" Nov. '94, page 122) have stressed the key to good pad printing is to reduce and control the variables. Though the function of the pad seems simple - to just transfer the image from the printing plate onto the substrate - it is subject to the same types of print-quality fluctuations if you don't choose the correct pad type and use it properly.

Bar code printers are used to output bar code data in printed form.
Ink jet printers project electrically charged droplets of ink onto a page. Types of ink jet printers include thermal and piezo.
Label printers are used to print a variety of labels or adhesive stamps. Most label printers are capable of printing bar codes.
Kiosk and POS printers are used with kiosks and point-of-sale (POS) systems such as electronic cash registers (ECR) and electronic funds transfer (EFT) devices.
Capacitors are electronic components used for storing charge and energy. In their simplest form, capacitors consist of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric.
