As you may know from another post I'm having a go at pad printing but real basic diy construction.
I'm curious as to how the surface with your design on makes contact with the wheel to make the print, I have seen pad printers but im unsure about the actual construction of the pad and cliche - have you used a standard pad or had to make one that is more suitable to your wheels curves, could you post a picture of the pad and your cliche? (i know im totally unaware of this technique so i apologise now as i may already be asking the wrong info)

for example is image one with its standard looking pads suitable in the way it meets a wheel area? |

i have a QM 5 2000 Series Pad Printer from Press A Print (similar to this one) at my work. i've never figured out how to use it because...i didn't know what it did in the first place.
now i'm curious if i can do this too. |

i just realized i forgot to add a link in my post where i said (similar to this one) http://pressaprint.com/equipment-padprinter.cfm
anyways that's an informative video. i'm not sure what he's saying but now i see how a pad printer works. the pad printer i have has like a 5" pad. maybe i'll give it a shot one day. wheel printing would be cool to do. |

You'd be surprised, I survived a year of unemployment off of wheel sales. |
