NOTE:
•
Recommended settings are starting points only and should be adjusted according to
quality of output achieved.
•
Excess heat may damage the printed image or cause waves. Insufficient heat may
result in delamination.
•
Thinner stocks can be run faster, and thicker stocks or heavy ink coverage should be
run slower.
•
Some stocks and ink-sets cannot be effectively laminated with thermal films.
Compatibility testing is recommended before laminating long runs.
NOTE: The surface temperature of the rollers is shown on the LCD readout. The LCD
does not work when the heaters are turned off
