What makes the Aero pad print machine stand out?
The Aero stands out from other pad printing systems in three key areas:
- Print Quality
- Cost Savings
- Time Savings
Print Quality
Repeatable, high-quality decoration is what the Aero delivers batch after batch and print after print.
Multi-Color Decoration
The Aero can be easily adjusted to provide one, two, or four-color decoration. The machine can be used with 60mm, 90mm or 130mm pads. This gives users great flexibility in producing high-quality decoration with strong visual impact.
Superior Pad Compression
Another way the Aero provides superior print quality is thanks to its enhanced pad compression. The Aero is compatible with high durometer pads that can reduce pin holes caused by textured surfaces. The result – superior decoration quality!
Cost Savings
The Aero also provides remarkable cost-saving opportunities.
Printing Plate Flexibility
The Aero is compatible with either temporary pad printing plates (cliches), which are more cost-effective for short-run applications, or thick steel cliches, which provide cost savings for long-run applications.
Savings: Labor Time & Cleaning Supplies
Additionally, instead of traditional ink cups, the Aero pad print machine uses a tool-less SpaceFrame with disposable ExpressLiners. This reduces both labor time and cleaning supply expenses. In fact, this feature can generate up to 27% cost savings.
Time Savings
Finally, the Aero pad print machine is known for the unprecedented time savings it makes possible.
Faster Changeovers
Thanks to TransTech´s unique Express Pads– pad changes up to are up 80% faster and ink changes are up to 86% faster with the Aero pad printer compared to alternative pad printer equipment.
Superior print quality combined with the efficiency gained from cost savings and time savings make the Aero an attractive pad print decorating system for a range of manual applications.
