ONE PASS DRY TRANSFER ____________________________________________________________________
The One-Pass Dry Transfer process involves transferring an image onto a flexible Marking film and applying a
high-quality pressure-sensitive laminate to the image transfer. Applying the pressure–sensitive laminate to the
top of the image transfer increases the longevity of your image transfer and allows for outdoor applications.

Before webbing for the One-Pass Dry Transfer process:
•
Set the top roller temperature to 300
°
F (149
°
C) and the bottom roller temperature to 140
°
F (60
°
C). Separate the
rollers while heating up to prevent the bottom roller from pulling too much heat from the top roller.
*
IMPORTANT
:
We recommend maintaining these temperatures during long runs to ensure the highest-quality
output. Do not allow the top roller temperature to drop below 290
°
F (143
°
C). Allow the bottom roller to cool
down if the temperature exceeds 160
°
F (71
°
C) before continuing the process.
•
Set the Front Main Roller air pressure to 100 psi. Set the Back Pull Roller air pressure to 50 psi. Set the Air
Clutch tension pressure to 40 psi. The clutch tension pressure should not exceed 40 psi. This will prevent
excessive pull on the film, affecting the output.
•
Set both Front Main Roll shim wheel settings to (-1/16 or -2mm). The One-Pass dry transfer process requires
the higher nip pressure for successful transfer.
•
Set both the Back Pull Roll Shim Wheel settings to (0).
•
Set the motor direction to forward and the motor speed to 3 fpm or 7.6 cpm. This speed can be adjusted (slower
or faster) depending on at what speed you have the best total transfer of the toner into the film.
•
The One-pass dry transfer process is established by a four-step webbing procedure. Follow the directions and
corresponding webbing diagrams on the following pages to perform the process.
