¶ Flatbed Adhesive Mat
The flatbed adhesive mat is a consumable accessory used to secure the substrate during printing. The back side of the mat adheres to the print platform, while the front side secures the printing substrate.
There are two versions of the flatbed adhesive mat: the mini flatbed adhesive mat and the standard flatbed adhesive mat, which are used with the mini flatbed and the standard flatbed, respectively.
¶ Flatbed Adhesive Mat Usage Process
¶ Step 1 - Peel off the protective sticker on the back
¶ Step 2 - Align and apply the adhesive mat
Align the flatbed adhesive mat with the edge of the print platform and apply it evenly. Ensure that there are no bulges or abnormal areas.
¶ Step 3 - Remove the White Sticker and Begin Printing
After confirming that the print test and calibration images are normal, peel off the white protective sticker from the front of the adhesive mat. Place the substrate onto the adhesive mat and begin printing.
¶ When To Replace The Adhesive Mat
As a consumable, the flatbed adhesive mat should be replaced when it is no longer usable due to any of the following conditions:
Loss of adhesion: If the mat’s adhesion decreases and it can no longer hold the substrate securely, the substrate may warp or curl, which can lead to issues such as nozzle scraping.
Excessive contamination: If the mat becomes too dirty to allow the substrate to lie flat, print quality may be affected or the nozzle may be damaged.
Impaired measurement: If dirt or residue prevents accurate height measurement of the substrate, the mat should be replaced.
