■ How Master Making and Printing are Performed
● Master Making
In the “master making” process, the old master on the drum is removed while the thermal head
creates the scanned image on the new master and transfers it onto the drum.
● Printing
In the “printing” process, paper separated from the stack by the feeder roller and paper separator
unit is pressed against the drum unit by the press roller. There are small holes over only the
image area of the master that is attached to the drum, and ink that seeps from these holes is
transferred to the paper. The paper is then peeled from the master by the paper stripper finger.
The paper is directed onto the paper ejection belt by a fan unit and discharged from the machine.
