Kingsley m-101 hot foil stamping machine embosser

Kingsley Machine Company, the Open Chase Type Holders: In the mid 90's Kingsley Machine Company redesigned there hot stamping machine. It then became possible to use type holders that would hold more type and standard Hot Foil Stamping Type. The main type holders were the 72 or 108 point (1" or 1 1/2") in width and up to 4 inches long. This allowed for multiple lines of standard Hot Foil Stamping foundry type or dies to be used in the Kingsley. The new Kingsley Machines were models M-101 and AM-101. The final largest type holder was called the 4" Maximizer and was 4" x 4". In our experience, this was to much surface area for the machine to print . Kingsley billed it as 10 square inches of hot foil printing area. The industry standard for a hot foil machine is 1/2 ton of pressure per 1 square inch of hot foil printing area for soft items, such as napkin imprinting or ribbon imprinting, leather embossing...etc etc
