If your looking to get into pad printing I would give Printex USA a call, they are in San Diego. They are awesome. Super helpful and friendly. They also do contract work besides sell machines do they could send you samples of what it would look like from there machines. One of there smaller machines is probably around 3k new

Pat, you don't need a different pad, you can use the same silicone rubber pad in your pad printing machine, you only need a different cliche (plate) for each different artwork.

My bad, I knew there was something we had to replace for everything.

Huh! For once, it's NOT the same old cliché!

How much is one of those machines though? Is it cost worthy for a smaller shop with a manual press?

You can get a manual pad printer for $439, it would be a GREAT investment and also allow you to get into a new market of imprinting other items like pens and key fobs, etc.

Plastisol heat transfers and a hat heat press would also work. I picked up a used hat heat press last month, I didn't think I needed one but it was too good of a deal to pass up. It works great for applying small transfers to shirts, although I have not yet tried using it on a hat.
