Mounting

This process involves mounting down previously made decals onto a substrate. No films or

adhesives are used in this process.

To mount decals onto a substrate

Step 1 –

Place the mounting board on a flat surface. Lay your image face down on the mounting

board and expose approximately 25 mm ( 1” ) of the adhesive by peeling back the release liner

along one of the edges. Fold the release paper back making an even crease.

Step 2 –

Turn the image over and carefully position the exposed adhesive edge of the image

squarely onto the board.

Step 3 –

Once positioned correctly, press the image firmly down onto the exposed adhesive from

the centre toward the edges to ensure smooth surface. This is the edge that will be fed into the

rollers first.

Step 4 –

Ensure that the pre-pressure and nip setting of the rollers corresponds to the board type

and thickness.

Step 5 –

Push the edge of the board into the rollers, start slow mode and press the foot pedal until

the board and image are just caught by the nip.

Step 6 –

Flip the in tacked portion of the image over the top roller with one hand so that the release

paper can be peeled off the image with the other hand. Press foot pedal to feed the board through

the rollers. At this point, forward rotating of the rollers can be started by pressing the start button,

set speed by speed control knob.

NOTE:

Take care that the release liner is not grabbed by the rollers.

Step 7 –

When the end of the board is near to the nip, you should slow the machine down. To do

this, just press the foot pedal to start slow mode. Releasing the foot pedal will stop the machine.
