Abstract: A printing equipment accessory, especially for making proof prints, with at least two rollers forming a roller nip, through which is passed at least one function component of a film from a supply roll, the film having an auxiliary component in addition to the function component, whereby the function component is transferable in the roller nip onto a base. Reuse of the auxiliary component of the film is simplified by such an accessory. The auxiliary component of the film forms a coreless roll.

Abstract: A process and a device are described for one- or two-sided stripping of protective films from board-shaped objects, whereby the protective film is first raised at the leading edge of the circuit board and guided to a takeup reel via a transport mechanism. To assure that the stripping moment of the protective films on the circuit boards is as slight as possible, provision is made that the edge of the protective film is first scratched with extensible hollow needles and raised with a blast of air and that, in the course of the continuing advance of the circuit board, the protective film is lifted onto plate-shaped guide blades and transported away.
