This is a relatively trivial task, and will probably work on most moderately cheap laminators. Unfortunately for us, Toner becomes tacky at around 140 oC and melts at a higher temperature still, rendering such laminators useless for toner-transfer-based etch-resist methods (which is why alot of you still use clothing irons for the transfer!)Īs you no doubt have guessed by now, we're "upgrading" the laminator by increasing its working temperature, from the standard 115 oC to 170 oC, making it suitable for PCB fabrication. Pretty much all laminators (with the exception the the GBC Heatseal Hxxx series) are pre-set to a temperature range of between 105 oC and 115 oC to prevent damage to photos, toner-based print-outs, etc. Extending the above, if anything gets damaged, we're also not responsible.If anything CATCHES FIRE, we're not responsible (seriously, no freebies, period.).You will be bypassing CERTAIN SAFETY FEATURES that usually prevent SPECTACULAR FAILURES.Mains voltage can KILL YOU (even if you believe in God!).The modifcations require you to work with MAINS VOLTAGE.NEVER operate the laminator with an open case, it will go into meltdown, no joke!.
