CD Sheet Application


The simplest method of applying small sheets of film (such as for CD printing) is to use a mounting board. One of the benefits of this method, is that it uses a wet mesh thus reducing the potential for dust contamination and without the need to dry the screen, therefore speeding up production.

Caplicator as a Dispenser

The Caplicator can also be used as a simple film dispenser for measuring and cutting large sheets. Simply load the roll of film into the Caplicator, mark a position on the core supplied and then the film can be wound directly onto the core and cut using a safety knife. The length of film can easily be measured by counting off the number of windings required from the table below. This table lists the film lengths achieved from both the black and white core used. Not only does this method reduce the potential for kinking the film, it also cuts down on dust contamination as the film surface does not come into contact with the table top.
