Depending on the material, the laser-material interaction can be different. On harder surfaces, the mechanism of action is primarily ablation, where the focused laser beam removes microscopic particles from the substrate. Engraving can reach depths of 100μm and beyond, while laser marking is typically shallower. 2. Screen Printing: Screen printing is a printing technique in which a screen is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a silicone product, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. Once the screen is complete, an operator pours ink onto the screen and pushes it through the stencil. The ink only goes where the stencil is open. This is used to create a printed design for a logo, pattern or text. A stencil is used on the screen to develop the graphic, with a mesh stretched over a wooden or metal frame. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and then a reverse stroke causes the screen to momentarily touch the substrate along a contact line. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be drawn out of the mesh openings as the screen springs back after the blade passes. One color is printed at a time, so multiple screens can be used to create a multicolor image or design. 3. Pad printing Pad printing, also called tampography or tampo printing, is an indirect offset (gravure) printing process in which a silicone pad takes a 2-D image from a laser engraved (etched) printing plate (also called a cliché) and transfers it to 3-D products. It is machine-printed using a metal plate. The plate is flat and the image is chemically imprinted. The silicone pad is pressed onto the ink, absorbing the image. Then the silicone pad is pressed onto the substrate, transferring the image to the silicone product. 4. Water Transfer Printing It allows you to apply an elaborate graphic such as carbon fiber, wood grain, and even camouflage to a product. The great thing is that it can be applied to a 3D product surface. The water transfer printing process is extensive and can be used to decorate items ranging from vehicles to silicone items. First, we apply a water soluble film to the surface of the water. We then immerse the product in the liquid bath, using the pressure created to wrap the item. 5. Heat Transfer Printing This printing method is compatible with pre-painted images on a wax sheet or can be used to create an image by layering wax dye onto an object. This printing method uses heat and pressure to transfer a design to the silicone surface, creating a permanent bond between the design and the material.
