<h3>1. What's the difference between the EC-17 and EC-27?</h3>

<h4>Portability:</h4>
<p>The biggest difference is portability. The EC-17 is smaller and lighter, with a weight difference of around 6-9kg depending on the base material:</p>
<ul>
<li>EC-17 (Walnut base): 6.7kg (without packaging)</li>
<li>EC-27 (Walnut base): 14kg | Metal base: 16kg (without packaging)</li>
</ul>

<h4>Work Surface:</h4>
<p>The EC-17 has a 15cm x 15cm work surface, which is more suitable for handling small, flat pieces. The EC-27, on the other hand, features a 16cm x 20cm suspended work surface, allowing for hot stamping on bags of various sizes. You can check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9R0-vjlHSY" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">this video</a> for more details.</p>

<h4>Temperature Control System:</h4>
<p>The EC-17 is equipped with a temperature control system from Autonics, while the EC-27 uses Omron’s system. Both systems are reliable and stable, but if you plan on running the machine for long hours, the EC-27 would be a better fit.</p>

<h3>2. Can it be used with die cuts?</h3>
<p>No, this machine is not designed for pressing die cuts.</p>

<h3>3. Can I use other companies' typesets with the machine?</h3>

<h4>Holder 1:</h4>
<p>Holder 1 supports custom copper molds up to 2.4x7.7cm. If your typeset falls within this range, it should be compatible. Holder 1 offers better compatibility, but it has its limitations. The mold is aligned at the bottom edge, and while it automatically centers horizontally, you will need to spend more time adjusting the vertical position depending on the copper mold to find the right stamping spot.</p>

<h4>Holder 2:</h4>
<p>Holder 2 accommodates custom molds from 0 to 6x8cm and supports single-row typesets, though it is only compatible with MAXITA typesets.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for both flexibility and compatibility, most of our customers find it helpful to use both Holder 1 and Holder 2 together. For more details, you can check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re-_cy0yQOU" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">this video</a> explaining the two holders.</p>

<h3>4. Can it stay on for extended periods?</h3>
<p>Absolutely! This machine has a highly stable temperature controller and fuse, making it easy to run continuously for about 10 hours. You won’t need to turn it off between projects.</p>

<h3>5. What’s the ideal temperature to use?
</h3>
<p>While the maximum temperature is 200°C, most users find that 110-120°C works as a universal setting for various materials. For best results, we recommend doing a quick test before starting your final project.</p>

<h3>6. How long should I press for each impression?
</h3>
<p>Generally, 2-3 seconds does the trick!</p>
