Approximate Thermal Printing Temperature (Fahrenheit)

[James Burke]

On a totally "off subject" matter, what is the approximate Fahrenheit temperature that a printer (such as the Gerber Edge) uses to transfer the foil to the substrate?

We are using a top name thermally receptive 8 mil vinyl for a special masking application that involves a bit of temporary heat, and so far it's working great.

Just curious.

Thanks,

JB

I want to say 60 degrees C or 140 F. But I will try and verify this weekend

Thank you. I didn't even think to look at the technical specifications of the vinyl, but the manufacturer gave a "service range" temperature rating, and that answered our question. We were curious how close we could get to the upper limit before experiencing unfavorable results.
