•
The case should fit tightly onto the jig.
• Press all around the edges to make sure the
part is securely in place.
•
Do not leave the part in the press for more
than 20 secs before adding the film and
starting the cycle to prevent possible part
distortion.
•
Load the film
‐ print side down and
‐ top of the print to the left.
‐ Print templates supplied with the
SMARTone system will feature a red dot in
the top left corner of the print, so that
orientation can be easily identified on the
printed sheet of film.
This also denotes the corner of the film that is
to be used for registration as shown in the
illustration to the left.
It is recommended that a similar mark is used
if you are making your own templates.
•
Close the frame
•
Push the drawer firmly closed
As soon as the film is loaded close the drawer.
The film may distort if this procedure is not done quickly
•
Press the Cycle Start button.
• The SMARTone will now take care of
everything.
Caution – be careful not to run a cycle with printed film
but no part, as the dye will be transferred onto the
surface of the jig and then will be transferred to the
inside of the next parts you run.
If this happens remove the jig from the drawer and
allow it to cool. The jig can be gently cleaned with water
and a scouring pad (eg 3M Scotch‐Brite green)
