Processes and settings

5.5.1

Mounting images or decals

In this process the machine is not webbed with film.
• When mounting images onto a (pre-coated) board (B), the adhesive is on the mounting
side of the board.
• When mounting decals (A), the adhesive is on the back of the image.
The mounting process is equal for both.
1. Remove the shaft from the upper front position.
2. Preset the nip and the pressure (see section 5.3.6).
3. Put the board on the in-feed table.
4. Put the image on top of the board (image side up). Turn
back the image at the machine side (1).
5. Turn back approx. 25 mm (1.0 in.) release liner (2) at the
machine side and crease this evenly from the inside out.
Note:
The final quality depends on the way in which the leading
edge of the image is applied to the board.
6. Apply the image (3) to the board (C).
7. Insert the edge with the image adhered to into the nip (D).
8. Lay the loose end (4) of the image smoothly over the
upper roller.
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 WHEN USING
THE FOOTSWITCH 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.
