Tampon printing is used for straight as well as curved areas (pencil, lighter, watch, pendent, cup...). Machine itself is capable to print very small details even less then 2 mm. Motive that is printed is copied onto cliché made from polymer, steal or magnesium. Cliché itself is eaten into till depths of 2 - 20 microns. Printing process goes by leaning tampon rubber on the cliché and thus collects color from the depth, after which rubber that has collected the color transfers it on the positioned object. The quality of print is affected by several elements: quality of the machine, depth of the cliché, colors that are used (viscosity) and of course by the operator himself.
