Blanking Plate Kit To improve gasketting when printing thin flexible boards, a set of blanking plates
are provided. These plates are clamped to the top of the tooling modules over
FormFlex pins outside the print area. The plates prevent the FormFlex pins not
supporting the board and squeegee/ProFlow head from rising as the print stroke
is performed.
