(LABEL PROFILE)
Estimating Rise and Flat Areas
This process will give you a starting point for setting Profile Variables. Some experimentation is necessary
for best results. The example shown is for a convex or oval product.
1. Apply a label by hand to the product. Measure the Rise Area by looking at the beginning of the
label to where it starts to flatten out. Also measure the length of the Flat Area. Use the diagram
below as an example.
2. Use these numbers when inputting values to the Display.
3. When using this type of product, Web Ratio is set less than 100%. This will slow the Web Speed
during the Flat Area.
