Ink cup pad printing machine is a kind of printing equipment, suitable for plastic, toys, glass, metal, ceramics, electronics, IC seals and so on.Pad printing is an indirect concave head printing technology that has become a major method for surface printing and decoration of various objects. Oil cup is a "small warehouse" of ink, the ink is packed, and then through the pad printing machine, the ink is printed on a variety of things.
Different pad printing manufacturers produced different oil cups size and specificationsto adapt to different types of pad printing machines. Innovacera can make non-standard zirconia pad printing machine ceramic rings or alumina ceramic oil cup inkcuprings according to customer customized requirements.
Zirconia ceramic pad printing rings feature:
Superior Wear Resistance
High bending strength and breaking tenacity
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Low thermal conductivity( 20% that of alumina)
High fracture toughness
High hardness
Smooth surface and the ink is easy to clean
Good seal without leak
Ceramic ink cup rings type-SS/SD/DS/DD

Frequently Asked Questions
Looking for a durable ceramic inkcup ring supplier? Why choose zirconia ceramic rings over metal doctor rings in pad printing?
Conventional metal doctor rings wear down rapidly, scratch steel/polymer cliché plates, and cause ink streaking and leakage during high-speed printing. INNOVACERA supplies high-purity zirconia ceramic ink cup rings with ultra-fine, diamond-lapped cutting edges. Offering superior fracture toughness, high hardness, and chemical resistance to all printing solvents, our rings provide clean ink wiping and 100% leak-proof sealing, lasting 4 to 5 times longer than standard steel rings.
Need custom ceramic ink cup rings for specialized pad printing machines? What diameters and blade bevels can you produce?
Yes. INNOVACERA manufactures custom zirconia and alumina ceramic ink cup rings from Φ43 mm up to Φ357 mm in both circular and oval geometries. We supply various blade profiles including single-side single edge (SS), single-side double edge (SD), double-side single edge (DS), and double-side double edge (DD) to fit all major pad printer brands, ensuring smooth surface finishes and effortless ink cleanup.
