Abstract

A master processing system includes a frame and a cartridge assembly having a cartridge body and first and second feed rolls rotatably mounted to the cartridge body. The first and second feed rolls carry first and second stock materials with at least one of the stock materials having a layer of adhesive disposed thereon. The cartridge body is removably mounted to the frame. A master processing assembly is constructed and arranged such that a master can be inserted into the processing assembly together with the stock materials unwound from their feed rolls and disposed on opposing sides of the master. The processing assembly performs a master processing operation, wherein the processing assembly causes adhesive bonding between the master and the stock materials being fed therein. An ejector mechanism is constructed and arranged to eject the cartridge assembly in an outward direction with respect to the frame.
