1. Material

Today's mouse pad market has a wide variety of materials, such as PVC, natural rubber (NR), silicone rubber (Q), polyurethane (PU), etc., but Each has advantages and disadvantages. The mouse pad made of PVC is a hard mouse pad. The PVC itself is toxic and has been gradually eliminated in foreign countries. Because the surface is a hard plastic sheet, the mouse is easy to be erratic, the positioning is not accurate, and it is not resistant to bending. Natural rubber foam patch mouse pad is the most popular type on the market, and it is also one of the most comprehensive. High-quality polyester fabric surface, tight fit, smooth and precise mouse movement, and competitive price. Silicone rubber mouse pads and PU mouse pads are mostly wrist guards, which are expensive, less used, and generally thicker and heavy in weight. Because of the wrist guards, they generally cannot move quickly in a large area, and cannot be used for gamers. The following are various performance comparisons of mouse pads of various materials:

2. Common specifications of mouse pads

The natural rubber foam patch mouse pad can be cut into any shape, including rectangle, square, circle, finger-shaped, heart-shaped, etc., with a thickness of 0.8~7mm (the price varies greatly depending on the thickness) It can be as large as five or six hundred mm or even one meter, but a rectangular mouse pad is generally visible, and there are a series of common specifications, generally as follows (length*width*thickness):

3. Printing of the mouse pad

The natural rubber foam mouse pad is a mouse pad with a patch on the front pad, thus providing a prerequisite for its ability to print fine patterns and texts. The printing of mouse pads is generally divided into two ways: silk screen printing and thermal transfer printing.

(1) Screen printing is the abbreviation of 'screen printing'. Screen printing is to stretch silk fabric, synthetic fiber fabric or metal mesh on the screen frame, and use the method of photochemical plate making to make the screen printing plate. Modern screen printing technology is to use photosensitive materials to make screen printing plates by photo-engraving method (so that the screen holes in the graphic part of the screen printing plate are through holes, and the screen holes in the non-graphic part are blocked) . During printing, through the extrusion of the scraper, the ink is transferred to the substrate through the mesh of the graphic part to form the same graphic as the original. Screen printing equipment is simple, easy to operate, easy to print and plate making, low cost, and strong adaptability. However, one disadvantage of silk screen printing is that under normal circumstances, only single-color or two-color graphic patterns can be printed, as shown below:

(2) Thermal transfer
Thermal transfer is an emerging printing process, which has been introduced from abroad for only ten years. Thermal transfer printing is a new method of printing patterns on goods of various materials, especially suitable for the production of small and diverse personalized and customized goods, and for printing patterns containing full-color images or photos. The principle is to print the digital pattern on the special transfer paper with special transfer ink through the printer, and then use the special transfer machine to accurately transfer the pattern to the surface of the cloth with high temperature and high pressure to complete the printing of the mouse pad. system, as shown below
