Mark, you wrote:

Brad:
There are only a few inks that can be used on very flexible TPE's (same inks
used on silicones for keypads via pad printing). Painting is possible but
the paint must be as flexible as the base material. I'm not sure but I
would imagine that painting would not be the best choice. Overmolding and
co-molding is all the rage now with TPE's to get colors and textures.

Mark:

Could you explain to us what TPE's are, typical applications for this
material, and a little bit about what overmolding and co-molding is?

Thanks,
