Equipment that performs well in dry environments often struggles in the humid tropics, leading to three major issues:
-
"Silvering" Effect:
In high humidity, microscopic moisture can trap air between the film and the media. During cold lamination, uneven pressure traps these tiny bubbles, creating white, hazy spots known as "silvering."
-
Adhesive Degradation:
Prolonged heat can soften low-quality adhesives, leading to "glue oozing" that sticks to the rollers and causes downtime.
-
Media Distortion:
Printing media (such as vehicle wraps or PP synthetic paper) expands and contracts with humidity fluctuations. Without precise tension control, the finished product is prone to wrinkling.
