"Printing"

In the "printing" process, the paper which is separated from the stack by the paper feed roller
and the paper separator unit are pressed to the drum by the pressure roller. There are small
holes in the image area of the master that is attached to the drum and ink that seeps from the
hole is transferred to the paper. The paper is separated from the drum unit by the stripper
finger. The paper is delivered to the paper receiving tray.

Printing Process

The DUPRINTER goes through a process of"platemaking" and "printing".

"Platemaking"

In the "platemaking" process, the old master on the drum is removed while the thermal head
creates the scanned image on new master and loads it on the drum.
