Post by: Mark @ Hurricane Printing on January 21, 2013, 07:57:53 PM

I bought a used one and it was really bad.  Used some very heavy adhesive tape and it still would come back up.  Put some super glue under the bad parts and it's nice and flat now.  It will be interesting to see what happens when I try and get it off the glass some day.

Even the one we bought new had some warping on it.

There should not be a problem as when you tape it down it will flatten out. The bigger problem I see in the photo is the exposure unit is too small for the frame and I think you will have problems because of it. Take the specs off of our MSP 3140 as an example of what size you need. Your frame is too close to the edge

The frame was not set center when I took the pics....was just laying in there.

M&R had a really good CD on setting up the triloc , you may want to see if you can get one or if it is online, worth the watch for yourself and new employees to help them wrap there head around setup and use.
