What are some of the advantages in switching from pad transfer printing to industrial ink jet printing?
Depending on your specific application there can be various cost drivers which make digital ink jet printing a preferred marking process over pad transfer printing. Some of these cost improvements include: elimination of plate making sub-process, less rework due to handling since ink jet inks generally dry-to-the-touch immediately after printing, no additional set-up or operator interaction in order to generate product serial numbers, most ink jet inks have a twelve-month shelf life as compared to a shift or hourly shelf life for mixed epoxy inks, the ink jet marking process is a non-contact marking process, individual part marking files can be stored on a PC for future retrieval and continuation of lot or batch part marking and industrial ink jet printing processes facilitate automation.
