Air assist for pad printing
Air assist optimizes the pad printing process by improving ink transfer. Sometimes the ink picked up by the pad from the plate stays too wet, resulting in partial or imperfect transfer onto the substrate.
A controlled airflow directed at the pad before application slightly dries the ink’s surface, ensuring cleaner transfer and sharper marking definition.
This is especially useful in multi-color printing, as it prevents the pad from smearing or mixing inks from previous passes—keeping each successive color clean and well-defined.
Technical data sheet
Air assist is an accessory that mounts on the side of the machine:
– Air nozzle orientation guided via a flexible hose.
– Air supply drawn directly from the pad printing machine.
– Airflow adjustable via a pressure regulator.
