It is not possible to recommend a given temperature for any particular substrate to be imprinted
because of the various production conditions that are encountered. The affecting factors are:
•
Formulation of the foil
•
Surface to be imprinted; coarse or smooth
•
Pressure applied
•
Dwell time
•
Type style used; light face vs. bold face
•
Ambient condition
The following table is a guide in determining the proper setting, based upon the type of material
being imprinted. These readings, however, are only approximates and may require minor adjustments
to achieve the optimal result. To ensure a good imprint, it is recommended that you set the
temperature slightly lower in the beginning, and increase as necessary.
