302 This is how writing instruments become elegant advertising media! Our mission is to create an optimal writing advertising medium. For this we use the most innovative and modern finishing park in Europe. We are happy to share our many years of experience with you to ensure satisfaction in the long term. In order to achieve the best printing results it may be necessary to underlay the print with white or to implement a double print. In these cases we will coordinate additional printing costs with you. Silk printing (S, MS, GS) This is the most popular and efficient method of finishing writing instruments by printing on the barrel. The image to be printed will be generated from the artwork and then applied to the screen using a photochemical process. In this process, only the areas of printing are permeable to ink, causing images to appear on the print substrate by means of a pressing process. With screen printing it is possible to achieve multi-colour and all-round prints, which makes optimum use of the promotional surface of the ballpoint pen. This means, that line as well as grid templates can be implemented. Please contact our experts if you require further detailed information. Pad Printing (T, MT, GT, TT) Pad printing allows to print on concave and convex surfaces. When it comes to printing on clips it’s mostly done by pad printing or multi-coloured image printing. A film will be generated from the artwork, thereof a cliché will be created. By using a silicone pad (like a rubbered stamp) the colour will be transferred from the cliché onto a substrate. The advertising surface of cylindrical writing instruments have a maximum height of 2/3rds of the diameter. Pad printing can be used on any material. Printing templates and finishing FINISHING Laser technology (L, RL, EL) The laser technology opens up completely new possibilities of manufacturing because even finer and more precise processing are possible, with any materials. Especially with metal surfaces, the laser shows its full strength, by removing accurate to the millimetre a fine layer of the writing instruments surface. Thanks to the latest laser technology, high-gloss personalisation and 360°-engraving are included in the uma assortment. uma Digital printing (HD) Impress your customers – rapidly, directly and with a personal touch – digital printing enables your desired ballpoint pen to be created very simply. Curtains ups for your ideas and on a gamut of promotional messages: Brightly coloured logos, colour schemes and gradations, even in small production runs – virtually no other printing technique delivers this level of flexibility. All you need to consider is, the colour shades which will here be converted into CMYK, may vary slightly from the exact PMS colours. The printing technology is limited to plane surfaces and can’t be used on concave and convex surfaces.
