SEPARATING IMAGE RECORDABLE MATERIALS FROM A STACK

摘要

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for separating an image recordable material from a stack of slip-sheets (40) and printing plates (17). A slip-sheet separates each of the image recordable materials from one another in the media stack and is moved to expose a portion of the image recordable material. The image recordable material and the slip-sheet are gripped and the image recordable material is separated from the stack while being contacted by the slip-sheet.
