66 Chapter 3 – Aligning to Punch
General
This chapter explains how to align images to any point on the imageable
area on film (that is, not just according to the punch holes).
This may be required in the following cases:
•
To center an exposed image between the punch holes on a film which is
intended for plate preparation on Step and Repeat machines.
•
To achieve precise image-to-punch alignment when using tiled flats for
plate making.

Note: Since the two (2) tiles above combine to make one (1) plate, it is crucial
that they are precisely aligned to the punched holes, and placed at a specific
distance (from the top, opposite the punched holes of the film).
