These really nice imprints were done by Paul using our Mimaki UJF 605C11 inkjet printer. The cool leopard pattern will definitely get some attention and the graphics on the custom dog tag is exceptionally clear. The size of the letters put together on the dog tag is only 0.06” high and 0.185” long, but is still very easy to read due to the exceptional quality of the inkjet printer. Click on the picture to see for yourself! Paul used a digibond primer on both of these items for it to stick better to the metal.

It took approximately 5 minutes to print one table which is big enough to hold 80 pieces at a time.

Tagless label printing is “IT” right now in the pad printing industry. Think about it; how many times have you cut out that annoying neck label in the back because it would either itch or stick out of the t-shirt? Tagless labels are so much cooler and better looking, and that’s what we’re all about here at Inkcups Now.

To create a tagless label, or neck label as some might call it, you will need to use a Laser Engraver and a Pad Printer. We used the Cobalt 1000 Laser Machine to engrave the plate and our ICN-150 pad printer to print the artwork. Etching the plate only takes about 5 minutes and the depth in this case was 1/1000 of an inch.

They didn’t need to use a fixture but instead just placed the picks on the flatbed. Before printing, the picks were pre-treated with an alcohol wipe and heat to make sure the ink would stick to the plastic material.
