PADS USE AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS |
|
New
pads or pads which have not worked a lot usually have an excessive amount of
oil on
their surfaces. This makes them ink
repellent. It is therefore necessary to remove this oil
in order to print correctly.
This can be done in the initial phase
by using soft paper dampened with the TAV thinner.
This thinner has been especially
developed by TOSH in order to degrease the pad without
chemically attacking its print surface.
If after this operation oil still remains on the surface
and the pad still does not take up the
ink from the plate, we recommend using a very small
amount of the thinner foreseen for the
ink being used. It is important non to exceed in the use
of this thinner as prolonged use will
rapidly damage the pad surface. During the normal
working cycle the pad can be cleaned
with common sticky tape and sporadically with
the TAV thinner.

When
pads have to be used for several days in succession,
we recommend
to let them rest after a working cycle of eight
hours and to roll them together with others
which
have the same shape in order to make them last longer.
This resting allows the rubber to regain the
physical characteristics it looses during the
working
cycle.
We would like to point out again that a pad with a
mass which is not proportional to the
dimensions
of graphics and to the object shape undergoes
excessive compression which
noticeably reduces its life.
Pads
should be stored far from heat sources and in closed
cabinets in order to avoid contact
with
dust and sunlight. Spread some silicon oil onto the
printing surface of the pad.
