  9. Hot Stamping/ Tipping - Topcoat

    I appreciate your help... I know not every machine is the same but could you give me the temperature you do most of you stamping at so we have a jumping off point. Like I said in a previous post at one point we had the heat all the way up, I'm pretty sure that is overkill.
  10. Hot Stamping/ Tipping - Topcoat
