ABSTRACT:
A coating plate is provided for use in applying a coating material over selected areas of printed material produced in lithographic, flexographic, letterpress, or other types of printing presses. The coating plate is formed of a light-transmitting sheet-form carrier and a light-transmitting sheet-form applicator adhesively affixed to the carrier by a pressure-sensitive releasable adhesive. In preparing the coating plate for use in applying a coating to selected areas of printed material, a pattern sheet is provided with indicia indicating the selected areas of the printed material to be coated. The pattern sheet is placed under the coating plate. Utilizing the indicial of the pattern as a guide, the operator utilizes a knife or other suitable cutting instrument to cut through the applicator sheet around the areas indicated by the pattern sheet to be utilized as coating areas. The areas of the applicator sheet surrounding the areas of the coating sheet which are to be utilized as coating areas are then lifted off the coating plate and discarded. The coating plate is then mounted on a coating cylinder of the press, a coating material applied to the applicator sheet , and the coating material applied by the remaining portions of the applicator sheet to the printed material in the predetermined selected areas.
