Orders are supplied from manufacturer at reasonable period.
The width is 150cm or 160cm inner paper core diameter 3″. Available lengths are 200mts or 400mts.
Application Parameters
For partial transfer, parameters are temperature 150C, pressure 6 bar, duration 5 sec. For continous rotary printing, temp. 160C, pressure 6bar, speed of stamp 3-5mts/min. After transfer, carrier film should not be seperated soon. It is suitable after 3-4 hours than stamp process, for seperating of carrier film easily. For quick seperate of carrier film, it should be cooled below 5C to make resin state solid for an easy seperation.
It is also available to stamp foil onto crystal foil around 140-150C. The best parameters can be change according to workshop real conditions.
Application Method
1.Put on Crystal foil onto fabric or leather.
2.For leather stamp press, presure:100bar, temp: 110℃, duration: 3sec.
3.Partial fabric press, pressure: 6bar, temp:150C, duration: 5-6sec.
4.Rotary stamping machines, pressure: 6bar, temp:150-160℃, speed:3-6mts/min.
5.Stamped products must be cooled down at 5C.
6.If there is no cooling process, it is needed 4-5 hours after transfer to seperate carrier film.
7.Crystal foils can be used as original transparent effect, or can be colored by tansferring of hot stamping foil.
