Products and components with high-quality printing are eye-catching and make logos, text, and markings easy to read and memorable. Using the right kind of ink for the substrate is also important for creating long-lasting images or text, especially for items with surface markings or directions for use. That’s why it’s crucial to choose high-quality supplies and accessories to pair with your cutting-edge printing machines.

At Teca-Print, we supply inks, additives, pads, cliches, and pad printing tools that achieve excellent results and even help streamline the printing process workflow. In addition, we provide pad and UV/LED printing and packaging services for customers in the automotive, electronics, cosmetics, sporting goods, medical, and other industries. Our team is also available to help develop or optimize your pad printing processes.

We carry 1, ½, and 2 component inks in a range of fluidities, opacities, gloss levels, and drying times. We work with the largest ink manufacturers in the world and can provide ink for any substrate that is pad printable, including but not limited to paper, glass, textiles, plastics, and metals. All ink types are available in NT pigmentations, as well as custom Pantone match colors and can conform to EN 71, part 3, the safety of toys, and migration of certain elements.

Pads

All pads are manufactured with high-quality raw silicones, silicone oil, and catalysts. They are available in different durometers (i.e., pad hardness) and shapes for printing without distortion on flat, spherical, curved, and irregularly shaped objects. Our pads are long-lasting, with a useful life of approximately 50,000 impressions or more.
