6. Apply the image to the board (3).
7. Insert the edge with the image adhered to into the nip.
8. Lay the loose end of the image smoothly over the upper roller (4).
Note:
Use the footswitch to start/stop in slow mode, keeping your hands free.
WARNING:
KEEP YOUR FINGERS CLEAR OF THE NIP. THE OPTICAL SAFETY
DEVICE IS NOT FUNCTIONING IN SLOW MODE.
9. With your left hand - peel back the release liner (6) from the image or board as it is
slowly fed into the nip one section at a time, without stopping.
Note:
Removing the release liner completely exposes the adhesive to dirt and dust that will
get trapped under the image.
10. With your right hand - keep the image smooth against the upper roller (5), preventing
the image from wrinkling.
Note:
For the best result; do not stop while feeding an image.
5.5.2 Pre-coating panels
This process is used to coat boards (substrates) with a pressure sensitive mounting film
onto which images can be mounted. This process can also be used to create a carrier
board.
Note:
The mounting film is usually provided with one release liner.
Place the film and web it as if it has no release liner, over the splitter bar.
1. Place the roll of mounting film on the shaft of the upper unwind position.
2. Set the nip to correspond to the thickness of the panels to be processed.
3. Web the film using a leader board of the same material, thickness and width.
4. Set the pressure while feeding the leader board.
5. Before the end of the leader board enters the nip, butt up the panel to be pre-coated.
