Subject: Re: What's the temp of the average laminator? Fuser?

What is the largest size of board you did that way? I challenge you
that a 6"x9" board will not laminate image correctly. I never had a
single problem laminating small boards but it takes some tricky
ironing to make a large board and I have ALMOST 100%. That ALMOST
might be or might not be important, depending on the location of hte
misfit. What you have there is a steady temperature and the pressure,
but the pressure has to be of certain value; too high and the tracks
are flattened. Too low and they won't transfer. Bu different parts of
board require different(-ly applied) pressure, at least that's what
find out. I am sceptical about your contraption until you provide
your comments. Mike
