Individual help and advice

Some products may only lend themselves to being printed in one specific way, while others may be compatible with the use of one or more methods, so we discuss your objectives with you in detail and suggest the best solution for your business. In the event that more than one printing technique would suit your product, we can point out the pros and cons of each technique to help you decide what would be best for your business.


Screen printing is used for printing onto a wide variety of products. These products are generally either flat (such as t-shirts or front panels of machines) or cylindrical (such as bottles or mugs). Ink is used in this printing process.


Pad printing can be done onto surfaces that are not flat and is the most versatile of all the product marking techniques. Complex shapes and surfaces are no problem for a pad printer and This is also an ink based printing process.

Hot foil printing is used to add shiny metallic or gloss finishes to a wide variety of products, mostly flat in nature. It is a totally dry print method, making it very convenient.


Together these three printing techniques cover a very wide range of requirements.

Whether you are purchasing screen printing equipment for a school or college, looking to start your own business printing onto t-shirts, or sourcing machinery to print onto other parts, you will find the range we offer to be comprehensive.

There is something to suit all professional and semi-professional budgets, particularly if you are serious about the growth and success of your business venture rather than looking purely to purchase the cheapest solution.

Our range of silk screen printing equipment offers both manual and semi automatic solutions and these systems will allow you to take on everything from the most basic job to highly complex halftone designs.

If you need to print on a product that is not flat or has a complex surface texture, pad printing is the definitive solution. Think about the surface of a golf ball and you can appreciate how versatile this process really is as it can produce a flawless print in and around every dimple.

While some companies use pad printers to mark industrial components or other parts, purchasing one of these versatile machines can also be an ideal add-on to an existing printing business as it will considerably widen the range of products that can be decorated in-house.

Dalesway offer a range of technologically advanced, semi-automatic tampo printing machines that are manufactured in Europe, as well as the very best manual system that money can buy - the Printa 990 system.


Hot Foil printing

Hot stamping is a very different process as no inks are used for the process. Instead of ink, a coloured foil is used on the machine. The printing process is therefore totally dry and very convenient with no fumes or drying required.

There is another process called embossing or debossing that can be carried out with the same hot foil printing machine that you would use for standard hot stamping, and this has become a very popular method to add a slightly more understated look.
