Hi All,

Anyone have experience with pad printing molded silicone parts? We're trying to apply our logo and white lettering and it seems to be a problem getting the ink to adhere to the flexible silicone rubber (Shore 45A). Does this require a special ink? Or is another process needed altogether?

Thanks,
