One-day pad (tampo) printing training seminars
prove to be “popular” and “successful”

Process & Control Magazine- July 2010

By popular demand Kaye-Dee added and extra day to their recent one-day pad (tampo) printing training course in Sheffield.

Over the two days more than 25 delegates from different manufacturing backgrounds including medical, automotive, injection moulding, health & safety and promotional printers attended the “basic principles of pad-printing” course. Observing the benefits that can be expected from updating and enhancing their printing skills delegates were given an in-sight into how the contributing factors of pad printing can lead to its successful operation. After a brief introduction about the origin of the process, topics covered included the different machine types and machine-set up. Printing pads and he importance of pad selection when using open/screen etch printing plates. Printing inks including ink composition and ink mixing. Production of steel and photopolymer (nylo) printing plates and discussions on commonly encountered pad printing problems. The day ended with delegates being invited to join Kaye-Dee’s Sales Manager, Mick Beech and Service Engineer, John Gomersall for general pad printing questions and answers.

Kaye-Dee received very positive feedback from delegates who commented they were “very satisfied” with the training. As well as giving excellent reviews of the training presentation material delegates said “they would definitely recommend the training course to their colleagues”.

Statements from the customer feedback survey included - “Excellent training with very useful information, presented in a very informative and professional way”. “Clear and concise information”. “Very helpful in answering any questions and giving good advice”. “Very satisfied, very helpful, very friendly!”.

New to the agenda in October will be a “Machine Maintenance” section covering basic fault finding, mechanical set-up and good-housekeeping of the machines and accessories. The next training day is scheduled to take place on Thursday 7th October in Sheffield.
