Backing Plates

Teca-Print pads have an aluminium or wooden backing plate. Our pad plates come pre-drillec (wooden) and pre-tapped (aluminium) for easy mounting onto our pad holders.

Hollow Pads: To allow the air to escape from a hollow pad, there must be a distance between the pad holder and the backing plate, e.g. by use of a spacer.

Pad Handling

With a new pad, the print surface must first be activated. When doing so, care must be taken. Use a soft paper towel soaked in solvent and wipe the print surface with this. When the surface turns matt and the solvent has evaporated the pad can be used to print.

The use of scotch/brown tape is recommended when cleaning pads.

Pads should be stored shaded from direct sunlight and not in contact with any other objects.

Beware:

- Never rub pads dry (creates the "rubber effect")

- Don't rub off excess ink or dirt particles or you will damage the print surface

- If ink pick-up is poor, a light wash with solvent over the pad should be used

Golden Rules for Pad Selection:

Where possible choose a pad that is most

hard, pointed and the largest size

hard: so that the image is sharp and also can produce a clean print onto textured surfaces pointed: so that less air can get trapped during the ink pick-up and ink transfer the largest size: so that distortion of the image is avoided
