try some of the pad printing manufacturers, like Autoroll or Imtran. They sell supplies, they may offer the service as well.

Send me the plates you are going to use and I will burn them for you.

I've done 100's of them til I started cussing more than reg words and had to give up pad printing.

It has "1" set of rules and I did not obey.

Yes I understand pad printing plates, but their are different types. Photo polymer (short run), thin steel or thick steel. Screen tint in the image or straight etch. Holes for mounting or no holes.

Shoot me an email.

This might be the most intriguing post I have ever read. What other cuss words are there?

And what is the 1 rule of pad printing that you didn't follow? (I have a pad
printer collecting dust)
