5.3.3 STICKING DURING DOWNTIMES

STICKING OF THE PAPER TO THE PLATEN DURING DOWNTIMES

The linerless platen can be easily clipped out and replaced. This makes it easy to test different silicone materials for the
drive platen. In particular, the liability for longer service life or the wear and tear of the platen are interesting parameters.
In addition, there are adhesives that can "react" with the platen materials and attack them.

So that the back of the paper does not stick at all or sticks marginally to the linerless platen, on the one hand a special
non-stick silicone has to be used, but also the surface has to be kept as small as possible. The platens are sanded
accordingly. The duller these "teeth" become, the more the paper sticks to the platen.
In operation with use of a new platen, a paper with a good adhesive and low adhesive application will stick to the platen
after approx. one week; with a used platen already after one hour.

The pictures below show a new platen compared to a platen that has reached the end of life.
