NOTE: The settings are general recommendations.
Refer to your media specific Product Literature for
their recommended settings.
IMPORTANT! We recommend maintaining these
temperatures during long runs to ensure the
highest-quality output. Do not allow the top roller
temperature to drop below 290° F (143°C). Allow the
bottom roller to cool down if the temperature
exceeds 160° F (71°C) before continuing the process.
NOTE: The speed can be adjusted (slower or faster)
depending on at what speed you have the best total
transfer of the toner into the film.
NOTE: Low temperature heat assist (120° F/49°C)
on the Over-laminate will reduce silvering on the
final output.
NOTE: The clutch tension pressure should not
exceed 40 psi. This will prevent excessive pull on the
film, affecting the output.
NOTE: If you are not applying an over-laminate or
prefer to do the transfer as a two-step process
(applying the over-laminate in a 2
nd
pass) the toner-
removed transfer media can be taken up on the rear,
top take-up shaft.
