Looking for some information on pad printing. I have searched this forum and tried locally to find someone, without any luck.
Does anyone here use a pad printer? If so just looking for some information on types, set up etc.

I built one last summer. I ordered my supplies from Imprintor (they are the only company I could find that would deal in small quantities). I had planned on doing it for people who don't want to order thousands of items but only want a few dozen, and by offering to do small quantities I would have just had much higher prices.
The printer worked pretty well, I burned my plates with my laser and also cut out jigs to hold the part printed on the laser. I could do a job of a hundred parts including making the plate and jig to hold the parts in about a half hour. But then the clean up of the ink was a huge headache. It probably took longer to clean everything up than it did to do everything else. I decided at the time not to spend any more time on it.
If you have any speceffic questions I did quite a bit of research on them and have a few weeks of first hand experience with it and may be able to help you out a bit.
