Re: Asian toner transfer paper

2016-08-30 by AncelB

The laminator rollers need cleaning due to the surface degradation 
(powdering/stickiness) from high heat cycling. This causes the roller to 
tug on and flex the transfer paper backing as it passes thru the rollers 
while still hot, making for breaks or poor toner bonding or foiling 
before it has cooled enough.

IPA can work, but, the best solution I have found is to clean once and 
wrap completely in Kapton tape. Kapton does not heat degrade and 
maintains an easy to clean surface.

I like the Apache AL13P because you can also swap the two cold rollers 
for the hot ones when doing the kapton wrap and disassembly is easy.
