Before using the press, prepare a Bienfang
®
overlay, this
performs the function of keeping the press and work clean
while allowing adhesives to be used oversized without
sticking to the press.
Three types of Release Materials are available:
• Single-Sided Release Paper — a heavy white paper coated
with silicone on one side. This also permits mounting of
the uncoated side to a smooth board to create a reusable
release board (recommended size is Bienfang No. A490 -
42” x 30 yds.).
• Double-Sided Release Paper — a thin paper coated with
silicone on both sides to create two non-stick surfaces
(recommended size is Bienfang No. 934 - 42” x 30 yds.
for 3648H/4468H; Bienfang No. 986 - 50” x 36 yds.
for 5298H).
• Release Board — a thin, smooth board coated with silicone
on both sides. Lays flat to smooth out posters, doesn’t
wrinkle or crease so it lasts longer than release papers
(recommended size is Bienfang No. 938 - 32” x 40",
pack of 5). To be used on top of application only.
One sheet of Bienfang Release Paper should be cut to fit
inside the base of the press (on top of the vent cloth), and
either a second sheet of Release Paper or a Release Board
should be placed over the materials being processed. Never
use a sheet of Release Board under another board or dam-
age to the press platen may occur.
NOTE: Please read the entire manual and fully understand
proper operating procedures before using your press.
