Bubble Free Flexographic Plate Mounting

3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1220 is an orange foam tape that provides high-quality combination print. This tape is specifically designed for light combination print applications. It features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting, ensuring a smooth and flawless printing process. Additionally, this flexographic plate mounting tape offers excellent resistance to lifting on press, making plate removal easy and clean.

3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are engineered with precision to provide a very tight caliper tolerance, allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam used in this tape is durable and can withstand long and high-speed print runs, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.

Recommended Applications
  • Mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves
  • Used in combination, process, and solid printing processes
  • Designed for wide-web presses to print film or paper for the flexible packaging industry

3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are engineered with precision to provide a very tight caliper tolerance, allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam used in this tape is durable and can withstand long and high-speed print runs, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.

This cushion tape is specifically manufactured for 20 mil applications. It is constructed with engineered acrylic adhesives. The adhesive on the linered (plate) side of the tape is designed for mounting photopolymer plates, ensuring secure and reliable adhesion. The adhesive on the non-linered (sleeve/cylinder) side is designed for mounting to flexographic printing cylinders or sleeves, providing easy application during mounting and clean removal when demounting.

Easy Application with Reduced Air Entrapment

3M air release liners feature a unique crosshatched pattern, unlike other mounting tapes that use a pebbled or flat release liner. This embossed crosshatched pattern creates microchannels in the easy mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape. As a result, air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and sleeve or cylinder, ensuring virtually bubble-free mounting. This innovative feature not only speeds up the setup process but also provides smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting, ensuring consistent and precise printing results.
