Tampo Ltd

We are sole UK and Ireland agents for Kent International's range of pad printing and screen printing machines and are pleased to announce Kent's award-winning green pad printing technology.

Green pad printing is designed to reduce pollution, improve working environments, reduce production costs, increase productivity, and improve efficiency. The key elements of green pad printing comprise of a sealed ink cup to help reduce air pollution by 90 percent, a laser engravable printing print offering top quality prints at a lower price and UV inks with less than 25 percent solvents, dramatically reducing solvent evaporation into the environment.

In addition to this, the direct computer to plate image laser systems eliminates all hazardous chemicals usually found in chemical etching processes. Lastly, Kent's printers conform to green credentials and use minimal material in construction and minimum energy whilst in use.
