How to distinguish and choose pad printing ink and silk screen printing ink?

Different printing processes have different requirements for ink. According to the actual use of ink, some supplementary components need to be added to the ink. For example, offset printing ink has high viscosity and good water resistance, gravure printing ink is relatively thin and has good fluidity; silk screen Printing ink must have good permeability.

In terms of substrate suitability, screen printing has great advantages, especially in the non-stereotyped plastics, hardware, electronics and direct consumer goods industries, screen printing has won widespread praise. However, screen printing cannot cope with the industrialized printing field of small area and irregular substrate surface, which gave birth to the birth of pad printing technology. Although the process of silk screen printing and pad printing is different, the industrial fields they involve are indeed very similar.
