How to assess P257
Use the technical dimensions alongside the product in its printing position. The outer pad dimensions do not define the usable print area. Check the final artwork size, contact direction and free space around the product with a physical sample.

Contact with the product surface
For this round pad, test where the pad first touches the product and how contact develops across the artwork. Check the fixture position and pad return stroke before comparing print quality.
