Production Considerations (continued)
7. Some papers when coated have a tendency to curl, which could cause them not to exit the coater.
Constantly monitor the delivery area to make sure this does not happen.
8. When working at the delivery end of the coater you MUST wear UV blocker glasses to protect your
eyes from the reflected UV rays from the exiting paper. This is similar to sitting under an umbrella
at the beach and still getting sun burnt from the sun’s rays reflected off of the water.
9. When shutting the system down for the day, it is
VERY IMPORTANT
that you completely clean
the coating unit and set the metering controls to the
“END OF DAY POSITION”
. Failure to set the
roller pressure to the
“END OF DAY POSITION”
may result in a flat spot on the form roller that will
show up on your coated material. This problem is NOT covered by our Warranty.
10. You should get into a habit of lightly scratching an occasional piece of coated material to make sure
that the coating does not scratch off. This can indicate coating that is under cured (not enough
lamp intensity or the bulb is starting to go bad), coating that is over cured (too much lamp intensity)
or that you are using the wrong coating for your print engine. This will also prevent you from
running a complete job and then finding out that the coating scratches off during shipping.
