Preparing for Imprinting
Size
The instrument is large enough to be firmly secured.
With this machine, you can use the adhesive sheet to secure the material. Though it is acceptable even if the
size of the instrument protrudes from the adhesive sheet, the essential requirement is that the instrument
can be firmly secured.
The following table shows the imprintable thickness and size by material. However, note that you cannot use
material that warps during imprinting even if the thickness and size are within the ranges specified below. If
you use such material, warped material might come into contact with the head, damaging the marking pin.
