numbers, letters, and other multimedia (including vinyl, twill, and
rhinestones). Temperature ranges
from 32 to 600 F. The device can be
used as a flash-cure unit and is able to
fully cure the ink as well to avoid the
need for conveyor drying on smaller
orders; testing with different ink types
and brands is recommended. The
Stampinator also acts as an iron to
press down fibers that can cause
fibrillation problems.
The unit's pressure is controlled by
the press's off-contact adjustment.
Dwell time is controlled by the automatic press printhead control panel.
The Stampinator fits on most
automatic presses with front and rear
clamps, including ROQ, M&R, Workhorse, and MHM. Its platen measures
16 x 20 in. while the machine itself
measures 22 x 32 x 6 in.
