Xpres Crystal Print - Manual (Page 5)

Crystal to Crystal Process
Once you have produced your crystal, some products have a base that also needs glueing into
position.
Set an independent timer to 30 seconds, and lift the lid on the Crystal Print machine.
Position the base on the glass.
Sparingly apply a little Crystal to Crystal glue to the base.
Angle the top crystal onto the base and align.
Turn on the Power and Pro-UV switches as in the diagram below.
When the alarm sounds remove the finished product off the Photo Crystal machine and turn off the Pro-UV switch.
Wipe any excess glue from around the base.
• When trimming the crystal ensure you trim away from you to avoid any personal injury.
• For best results ensure the scalpel or knife is sharp.
• Do not leave the power on and the lid down for long periods of time. When the unit is not in use, turn the
power off.
• Please take all necessary precautions to ensure yours and others health and safety. Close the blade when not
in use, and screw the lids on the bottle to prevent spillage.
• Use disposable vinyl gloves wherever possible to avoid getting adhesive on your hands.
• Adhesive will stain or damage clothing, please take all necessary precautions.
• When removing the crystal from the box for the first time wipe any dust or marks from the print surface before
printing.
• Use dye based inks wherever possible. These inks will give more vibrant results.
• Avoid placing or submerging crystal, once printed near any water source as this may seperate the film from
the crystal.
Q: The print is running or smudging on the film?
A: Ensure you have removed the correct side from the vinyl. The print side has an easy to remove clear film.
The other side (non printable side) has a frosted backing.
Q: Are the crystals once printed UV stable?
A: Avoid placing the crystal in direct sunlight for long periods of time as the print may fade.
