Silicone Vs. Metal
A silicone covered heated roller is the most advanced, accurate and highest quality methods of
lamination available to day. Producing superior results to nearly any other process, it is the paramount
method. However, there are some common sense differences between silicone rollers and the old metal
heat shoe technology. Though the silicone rollers are the greatest advantage to other technologies, it is
possibly its greatest weakness. Review the chapter of roller care and maintenance starting of page 65
Keep in mind the following;
• Do not cut the rollers, as with any rubber, they will slit and they will be destroyed.
• Do not overheat the rollers, this is covered in this manual extensively and should be understood.
• Do not allow heat to build up, use the proper width film and turn the machine off when not in
use.
• Do not use abrasive materials on the rollers, they are silicone rubber there are many things that
are harder than this - they will abrade the rollers - use only the accepted cleaning method.
