NOTE
• If additional flats are to be exposed on the same film being contacted, or if the film being contacted is to
be used for multiple color printing, register marks should be inserted in the flats or some sort of register
system should be used to register the job. Register marks are placed so they expose on the film being
contacted outside the image area. They can be trimmed off after the job is printed.
• The contact control guide is designed to overcome the problem of incorrect exposure. The guide is
stripped into the edge of the film flat in a non-printing area, usually the outer edge.
(3)
Strip a contact control guide into the edge of the film flat that you will be contacting.
(4)
Unlock the left-and right-hand latches and lift the glass frame until the two lift arms take hold and open the frame
completely.
