Pad printing reaches surfaces a screen cannot: pens, lighters, key rings, caps, plastic components and technical parts with curved or raised surfaces. A silicone pad picks up ink from the cliché and transfers it to the object, following its shape.

Together, screen printing and pad printing cover almost every surface: T-shirts, workwear, tote bags, stickers, panels, pens, mugs, plastic and metal objects, wood, glass, paper and cardboard. What changes most from one surface to another is the ink: each product page lists the materials it adheres to.
FAQ
A frame, a squeegee, ink suited to the material, photo emulsion, a film printed with your design, a UV lamp for exposure and products to clean the screen. A beginner kit already includes all of these, together with a manual.
Pre-stretched aluminium frames, a 55T mesh for textiles, a medium-hardness squeegee, water-based or plastisol ink, emulsion, inkjet film and an LED UV lamp. Small studios usually add a manual press to keep prints in register.
Complete kits cost less than buying each item separately and include everything needed for the first prints. You can add a press or a larger frame later, as your work grows.
A manual screen printing press, spare frames, quality squeegees, emulsion, reclaiming products and a way to dry the ink. Compared with a frame clamped to the table, a press keeps the register from one print to the next and saves time on longer runs.
A press or a frame with hinge clamps, two or three squeegees, inks for the materials you print most, emulsion, films, an exposure lamp and screen reclaiming products. For finishing, a paper cutter and a cold laminator cover most jobs.
