Subject: Re: UK laminators --- temperatures ?

From: "Chris Horne" <chris@...>

I'm replying to my own post here.. but If anyone else has some
temperatures.. please add them..

I just used a pyrometer to measure the actual temperature I have the
iron set to when hand ironing the blue press-n-peel (which I have done
hundereds of times)

The temperature averages 190 C plus or minus about 20 so maybe there
is some way to go..
