The Principles of Master Making and Printing

Master Making First of all, the disposal master box collects the printed master and detectives the master collection. Meanwhile the scanner head reads the image data from the original and transfer the data to the thermal head. The thermal head prints the image data to the master, and the thermal master is loaded onto the drum by mechanical part and then the test print is made. 3508/3608

4119/4129 Printing The paper feed tray will support the paper up, and the paper is separated and delivered to the second feed roller by cooperation work of paper feed roller and the paper separator pad. Then the paper is delivered to the clearance between drum and pressure roller. After ink distribution procedures, the ink is seeped from the tiny mesh of the thermal master on the drum, and through pressing by the pressure roller to the paper and to the drum, the printing procedure is completed. Shortly the paper is separated from the master by the blower device, and then by paper separate pawl and the paper transport belt the print paper is delivered to the paper receive tray.

27

2. Press down the thermal head release lever to “Open” position;

Notes Do not touch the thermal head,， otherwise it shall be scraped, which shall effect master making quality.

3. Put the new master roll onto the master bracket; 4. Three ways of installation: WayⅠ Feed the master head (with mill finish adown) between the printing roller and the thermal head, and push the release lever to position “Close”. Close the scan table and then master making can be started. Way Put the thermal head release lever to Ⅱ “Close” position, master mill finish adown, put the master under the print rollder and thermal head, keep pressing the cutter micro switch, the master feed forward automatically, when the distance is 5-10mm to the cutter, then use right hand to press thermal head release lever, with left hand pull the master to the feed entrance, close the scan table and then master making can be started. Way Ⅲ Put the thermal head release lever onto the “Open” position, put the master head inbetween the print roller and the thermal head, feed the master forward until 10mmm to the cutter blade, pull the master straight, and release the thermal head release lever to “Close” position.
