Using Self- -Adhesive Tape 3 - Scott Edge Reinforcer Instruction Manual

3 Operation
3.4 Using Self- -Adhesive Tape
3.4.1 Recommended Uses For Pressure Sensitive Tape
On some types of reinforcing jobs, it is better to use pressure sensitive polyester tape instead of heat seal
polyester tape. Pressure Sensitive Polyester Tape is recommended since it is available in large 5000' reels
which allows over an hour of uninterrupted production. This tape will reinforce sheets at maximum speed on
your machine. To use this tape requires practically no set--up since all you do is press the reel on the
self--adhesive drum assembly.
3.4.2 When to use Pressure Sensitive Polyester Tape instead of Heat Seal
Polyester Tape
UNUSUAL PAPER STOCKS OR OVERALL PRINTED STOCKS
On jobs where it is necessary to reinforce over printed paper, especially overall solid colors, PST will usually
produce a superior quality reinforced sheet since it will not change the color of the printing. On some coated
stocks, PST will produce a better job.
PST is immediately available from stock in 3/4" and 9/16" wide reels. Reels are 5,000' & 6,000' long.
Your machine will apply any type of pressure--sensitive tape at the same speed it applies heat--seal polyester
tape. However, when the machine is used with Pressure--Sensitive Tape or Adhesive Transfer Tape, the reel
is put on the front of the machine instead of the back. In order to use self--adhesive tape, it is necessary that
you attach the "SELF--ADHESIVE TAPE DRUM ASSEMBLY
Note !
Do not use heat when applying Self Adhesive or Pressure Sensitive Tapes (PST).

collars used to guide the tape as it goes into the
applying roller.
