Upper unwind material may be sibstituted with similar product. Substrate can vary. Top temperature will vary

slighly between 240 - 260

F depending on laminate thickness. Gap will be dependent on the substrate

thickness. Pressure will be determined by the operator. Speed is not indicated in Footswitch mode. Because

the process is described from the front of the laminator, motor direction is FWD and the pull rolls are not

required for this application.
