1. Heat. Not hot enough will leave a weak hot-stamp and thin lettering. Too hot can produce a bold, deep hot-stamp and thick lettering.
2. Pressure. Not enough will leave a weak hot-stamp and thin lettering. Too much can produce a bold, deep hot-stamp and thick lettering.
3. Duration of application. Not enough time will leave a weak hot-stamp and thin lettering. Too long can produce a bold, deep hot-stamp and thick lettering.
Then you can complicate this mess with having two or more of the above being out of adjustment!
Didn't know that there were that many variables to hot-stamping, eh?
