Advantages

Multi-colour printing: wet on wet - Possibility to apply multiple prints without intermediate drying

Inexpensive way of printing onto a variety of substrates including glass and ceramics

Can print on convex, concave, curved, recessed and irregular surfaces

Allows wet-on-wet printing leading to a reduced down time.

High resistance of printing inks - Depending on ink type used extremely high resistance against mechanical abrasion or chemicals can be achieved.

Easy handling and little maintenance - Compared to other printing processes pad printing is easy to learn

Limitations

Size of the plate and pad can be limiting.

Printing speed onto substrates which are not an irregular shape can be printed much faster with other methods.
