Your selection of the Insta Graphic Systems heat seal
machine is a sound business decision. Insta
equipment is the result of the highest quality
engineering and time-tested design. Your new
machine combined with Insta's reputation of
continuing capability of delivering the best-decorated
substrates possible.
This manual describes installation, operation, and
maintenance procedures for your 700/800 series
machine, as well as easy to use instructions for onthe-spot maintenance.
Your machine will have a long, trouble free life. Read
this manual. Keep it with your machine; it's your key
to proper operation and lasting service.
General Description
The 718, 728 and 828 are Automatic Swing Away
machines generating and distributing evenly
tremendous pressure throughout its upper and lower
platens. These machines are essential in the
application of sublimation transfers. Its cast-in tubular
heating element heats the metal from within, to
produce constant and long lasting heat. The 718
machine has 15” x 15” platens; the 728 has 15” x 20”
platens; the 828 has 20” x 25” platens.
Insta Graphic Systems warrants this heat seal
machine, when operated under normal conditions, to
be free from manufacturing defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one year on parts
(lifetime on the heating element) and 90 days on labor
m the invoice date.
