I found that out when I bought an infra-red laser non-contact gun.<br /> <br /> They are currently on sale for $59.95 at Harbor Freight, (I think harborfreight.com). Last year they hovered around $100.<br /> <br /> On DSSI a few people said that if you are serious about sublimation, it is a necessity. I figured that my reading was accurate, <u>wrong</u>. 15* can make a bigger difference in results with laser toner transfer. You really need that temperature gun for good results. <hr /><a name="a2366_9"></a><p><b>From: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.9">#9</a>]<br /> 27 Nov 2005<br /><b>To: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.8">#8</a>] 27 Nov 2005</p> And you can NOT use it directly on a silver heat platen... you should put a piece of black tape over a spot where you want to do your reading.... <br /> <br /> <hr /><a name="a2366_10"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.10">#10</a>]<br /> 27 Nov 2005<br /><b>To: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.9">#9</a>] 27 Nov 2005</p> <p>Forgot to mention that, thanks.</p> <p>Plain masking tape works also. If the platen is metal at all use the tape. I have a sandblasted metal platen, totally erratic readings without the tape, rock steady readings with the tape.</p> <hr /><a name="a2366_11"></a><p><b>From: cindy (ROBERTM)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.11">#11</a>]<br /> 23 Jan 2006<br /><b>To: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.8">#8</a>] 23 Jan 2006</p> <p>Harvey,<br /> I have been looking for the infra-red laser non-contact gun. They have two at Harbor Freight item 90380-ovga at $79.99 and another item # 91778-4VGA $39.99. Could you please tell me which one it is that you have. </p> <p>Thanks Cindy</p><hr /><a name="a2366_12"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.12">#12</a>]<br /> 23 Jan 2006<br /><b>To: cindy (ROBERTM)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.11">#11</a>] 24 Jan 2006</p> <p>Now that I am finally home again, I have the thermometer in hand.</p> <p>It is Cen-Tec item 91778. That is the only info on it except for the Harbor Freight phone number 800-444-3353.</p> <p>That is such a good price, I may buy a spare. I have never seen it so inexpensive.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 23 Jan 2006 by HARVEY-ONLY</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2366.1">1-7</a>  8-12</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
