FT-10 Foil Fuser

The FT-10 can fuse metallic, pigment, glitter, holographic pattern and security foils to toner image areas on suitable paper and plastic substrates.

Foil fusers and fusing film, create a spot varnish look.

ThermoFusing is a process that “post-fuses” sheets that have been printed with toner.

ThermoFusing creates a high gloss finish over toner image areas similar to spot UV.

ThermoFusing also improves toner adhesion and durability.

The FT-10 uses coated and un-coated fusing film to ThermoFuse toner image areas on suitable paper and plastic substrates.

FT-10 foil fusers can apply foil on laminate.

Freedom Foil Process Webpage

The FT-10 can be used to apply foil text and graphics over a background image, printed with toner, using the “Freedom Foil Process”.

Using this process, the background image is printed, then the sheet is laminated with a special laminating film. Laminated sheets are run back through a printer to apply toner on top of the laminate. After being over-printed, the sheets are run through the FT-10 where foil is fused to the over-printed toner image areas.

FT-10 foil fusers can apply Scratch Off foil using a process developed by THERM-O-TYPE.

The scratch off foil process is similar to the “Freedom Foil Process” but requires a different (scratch off foil) laminate film.

The FT-10 can be used to apply security features to products using holographic pattern and/or holographic security foils.

Foil fusers do not require dies.

Using FT-10, flat foil text and graphics can be applied without a foil stamping die or foil stamping press.

Because foil fusing does NOT require a foil stamping die, foil fusing is ideal for design prototypes, creating proofs and producing small quantity and personalized orders.

Security features can also be added to small quantity orders using holographic pattern or security foils.

THERM-O-TYPE Foil fusers can be used for foil fusing, ThermoFusing, the Freedom Foil Process and to apply scratch off and security foils.

Due to the range of fusing foils and films available, The FT-10 can be used to create many different types of product enhancement effects and security embellishments.

FT-10 foil fusers use four heated fusing rollers (two upper and two lower rollers).
