Got a link handy to any information of that system?
"Tampo" is pad printing. One and the same.
Here is a brief description...
Tampography
Tampography, also called pad printing or sometimes tampo printing, combines rubber stamping and offset printing. The desired image is etched into a metal plate. This plate, also known as a cliché, has the image lines sunken into its surface. They are said to be in negative relief. Ink is deposited into these lines; the excess wiped away, and then a rubber pad or tampon is pressed against the plate to pick up the image. The pad is then pressed against the surface to be decorated, leaving the image behind.
This is the website...

Here's another...a bit more info to 'peruse at your leisure'....(Strange....I've never heard this common phrase alternately as 'peruse at your most harried moment' 
)...
FWIW, always....
Meanwhile, back at the ranch....
