Okay, we'd now like to show you a quite common thing for a picture framer, which is poster
print that come rolled up in a tube that has already... that has been sealed with cling
film or rolled up nice and tight. It's going to be very difficult for us to work with something
like that. So, we've taken our plastic cover off. You'll notice that we already know what
size the poster is, so we've cut ourselves a piece of board. Again, what we're using
here is 2 millimetre card, 2,000 micron white display board. Again, using the dry-mounting
tissue. We'll take two extra pieces of card. Actually
here, about 6 inches, 15 centimetres wide. You'll notice what we're going to do here
is to start rolling the print out and you'll see that it is quite difficult to handle when
it's rolled up into a tube. We'll have the one edge weighed down. We can then roll the
rest of the poster out. Take our other strip of the white display board. You'll notice
that all it's doing is basically weighting the picture down on both sides. We'll line
it up, making sure that it's nice and square on the board, making sure that the tissue
is overhanging all the way around. We can then process this. So, we are going
to pick the whole item up. So, we'll take it over to the press, onto the base of the
press, on top of the film. Okay. We can...making sure that it's all lined up, leaving the boards
in place for a second. We can lay the silicone release film over the top. Okay. Close the
lid down, still making sure that it's all lined up and the print is lined up with the
tissue and the board. We can close the lid most of the way down and you'll notice then,
if I can just slide those out, it helps keep the print in place. Get those out of the way
for a second. We can now close the lid fully down, put the
latches on and flick the switch on and you'll notice here that the print is being kept nice
and tight, nice and flat. It's...you can see there the air is actually being extracted
out. That's the silicone release film smoothing itself out, getting rid of all the air and
our print is now nice and flat in the centre of the board.
