5.4.2 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 (Sled). In this case a
film with adhesive on both sides with a release liner is used.
Note: The mounting film is usually provided with one release liner. Place the film in the upper
section and web it as if it has no release liner (see 5.3.2 for reference).
1. Place the roll of mounting film on the shaft of the upper unwind position.
2. Remove Image Guide.
3. Raise top roll to full open position.
4. Pull film through nip and attach to out-feed table.
5. Insert a leader panel into nip of the same material, thickness and width of panels to be processed.
