Abstract:
An automatic applicator (10) of a sticky back material (100) to a printing sleeve (200) is disclosed. The applicator (10) includes a controller (120) that is programmable with data relating to the size and desired positioning of the sticky back material (100) to the sleeve (200). The sticky back material (100) is secured to a transport system (35) and cut to the desired size by a cutter (90), creating a sheet.
