<p>A pad printing system (110,210,310) has an ink jet printing mechanism (118,322), a cliche device (112,312) including an imaging surface (114,318), a pad assembly (126,326) including a deformable pad (122,332), and an ink jet printing controller (120). The ink jet printing controller (120) controls positioning of the ink jet printing mechanism (118,322) to deposit ink jet deposited image on the imaging surface (114,318). A method of printing an image on a workpiece surface includes forming an ink jet deposited image on an imaging surface (114,318) of a cliche device (112,312), transferring the ink jet deposited image from the imaging surface (114,318) to a deformable pad (122,332) and transferring the ink jet deposited image from the deformable pad (122,332) to the workpiece surface.</p> |
