How Master Making and Printing is Performed
The machine performs two processes: master making and printing.
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.
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 fi nger. The paper is directed onto the paper ejection belt by a fan unit and discharged
from the machine.
