Page 22: Applicable File Formats
Chapter 3: Creating Image Data 3.1 Applicable file formats Image files in PDF, BMP, JPEG and PNG formats can be used by the utility software supplied. The utility software will automatically convert the image into black and white bitmap data before transferring it to the main unit. ※ AI format can be read only when saved as a PDF compatible file. ※ It is impossible to select "page (artboard)" in PDF or PDF compatible files. Only the first page can be read even if multiple pages exist. ※ If the image ratio exceeds 70% coverage, the unit may cease operation due to overheating from continuous screen making. If cease operation occurs, cooling time, 10 minutes at maximum, is necessary. 3.2 Resizing image Resizing image function is available on the utility software. Although it is possible to resize image files on the software such as BMP or PNG formats, appropriate pixel size of image file will be required for best result. Appropriate pixel size for certain print image size and resolution of 203 dpi can be calculated as below. Example: When printing 160 mm x 200 mm images: One inch is equal to 25.4 millimeters, Short edge. 160 [mm] / 25.4 [mm/inch] = 6.3 [inch] The resolution of the unit is 203 dpi, 6.3 [inch] 203 [dot/inch] = 1279 [dot] Long edge. 200 [mm] / 25.4 [mm/inch] = 7.9 [inch] 7.9 [inch] 203 [dot/inch] = 1604 [dot] → An image size of 1,279 px 1,604 px is consequently the optimal size. -

Refer to "1.4 Part Names and Functions" for details. Align directions of the triangles on the frame and the main unit as shown below. 2) Insertion Insert the frame into the main unit with the triangle mark at the top. ※ Make sure that the frame is inserted in a horizontal direction with the main unit. Inserting the frame with an angle may cause damage to the Thermal Print Head. 3) Aligning the Positioning Holes Align the positioning pins on the main unit and the positioning holes on the frame. Refer to "1.4 Part Names and Functions" for details. - Page 32 Chapter 5: Screen Making 5.3.2 Screen Making 1) Screen making Firmly hold down and keep pressing the Cover Switch of the main unit until the frame comes to a complete stop. 2) After completion of screen making Unleash the Cover Switch and remove your hand. Pull out the frame from the rear of the main unit in a horizontal direction. Turn off power upon completion of screen making process. Important ※ Make sure your fingers will not touch the frame while keep pressing down the Cover Switch. ※ Press down the Cover Switch firmly so that the main unit will not tip over. ※ Do not pull out the frame from the front of the main unit. Removing the frame from an inverse direction may result in damage to the Thermal Print Head. ※ If the Error Lamp LED is lit, release the Cover Switch, switch off the power, and carefully pull out the frame. ※ The artwork data transferred to the main unit will be erased when the power is switched off. ※ Operations will be aborted if pressure on the Cover Switch is released during screen making. In this event, it is necessary to reset the frame in place and perform the process once again from the beginning. Reusing an incomplete screen master may result in misaligned printouts.

Page 34: Setting The Frame On The Printing Board
Chapter 6: Printing 6.1 Setting the Frame on the Printing Board Placing the frame on the printing board will secure the position of the frame enabling printouts to be easily made. ※ The printing board cannot be used for substrates thicker than 1 mm or oversized substrates which interfere the frame positioning pins. ※ Printing can be performed without using the printing board. In this case, make sure applying a protective material in order to prevent ink bleed through. 6.1.1 Placing the Printing Board Place the printing board on a flat, stable surface. This process is for printing only, so it is not necessary for the main unit to be located nearby. Place the printing board with the frame positioning pins at the far end from you. ※ Make sure that the printing table is endurable with the pressure while printing. ※ It is recommended preparing an old newspaper or something similar is laid out for placing the ink-stained frame and squeegee. - Page 35 Chapter 6: Printing 6.1.2 Confirming the Position of the Artwork The position of the artwork will become legible when the frame containing the screen is set onto the printing board. Make sure that the Printing side of the frame (opposite side of the Screen Making side) is facing upward. Align the positioning pins on the printing board with the holes on the frame. Check the registration of the artwork. 6.1.3 Setting substrate Place the substrate where the artwork is desired to be printed. Make sure that the pins on the printing board are not covered at this point. ※ It is recommenced that a weak adhesive spray is applied on the Printing Board to make sure the substrate does not move out of alignment.

Chapter 6: Printing 6.1.4 Setting the Frame Set the frame on top of the substrate in the same position as when checking the position of the artwork. 6.2 Printing 6.2.1 Applying Ink Apply ink to the top of the screen master as the same width of the squeezee in the form of a line. Make sure that a sufficient amount of ink is applied. Insufficient ink may result in uneven print quality. ※ Water-based ink is recommended. Follow instructions described on the ink container. - Page 37 Chapter 6: Printing 6.2.2 Printing with the Squeegee Hold the squeegee with both hands and place it above the line of ink. Hold the squeegee with both hands and pull it down toward your end while gently adding downward pressure and making sure that the print board does not shift. Replacing the substrate after each print enables consecutive printing. ※ Flood back residual ink to the top of the artwork by a squeegee. ※ When using water-based ink for continuous printing, occasionally wipe the surface of the screen with a damp cloth followed by a dry wipe in order to prevent ink clogging. 6.2.3 Drying Ink It is necessary to cure the ink on the substrate. Curing ink methods vary depending on the ink type. Follow instructions described on the ink container.
