Could we use this pad printer

@Team_Printmaking

I got this in an auction, it is a pad printer, I can’t find a model number on it but think I might have a manual in a box of other stuff. Could we use it in printmaking?

It is in metal shop right now, I have the cables and foot pedal at home. If we want it I’ll bring the rest of the parts in later this week

Possibly? We’d need to find out what inks it uses, how it works, etc. In some ways I almost think it fits better with dye sub due to the printing on glasses and mugs aspect.

It would be fun to play with, looks like this one

I am familiar with this kind of machine . We could actually machine/engrave the artwork cliche’ plates on the lasers , the shapeoko or the Sherline cnc mill. We are better set up to do that than to try photo etching the plates.
