3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1720 with easy mount adhesive is designed for mounting flexographic print plates to cylinders or sleeves. This teal foam mounting tape provides high quality medium firm combination print.
- 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) double coated foam tape has the air release feature with a plate side adhesive technology designed to remove with less force from flexographic print plates
- Has a medium firm density foam that is ideal for printing combinations of solids and process with halftone dots
- Teal foam color indicates the medium firm density foam
- Securely bonds the flexographic photopolymer plate to the print sleeve or steel cylinder to prevent plate edge lifting during printing
- Print plates mounted on E1720 will have no air bubbles under the plate due to the air release feature designed into the tape
- Grooves in the adhesive are created by a cross-hatch pattern from the release liner

-
How durable is the 20 mil thickness of the tape included in each roll/case of this product?
The 20 mil thickness of the tape provides durability and strength, ensuring reliable performance during plate mounting applications. It helps maintain consistent print quality over time.
3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1720 is a teal foam tape that provides high-quality combination print. This medium firm tape is specifically designed for combination printing and features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting. It also has excellent resistance to lifting on press, making plate removal easy and clean.
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 highly engineered to provide a very tight caliper tolerance, allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam can withstand long and high-speed print runs.
This cushion tape is specifically manufactured for 20 mil applications and is constructed with engineered acrylic adhesives. The adhesive on the linered (plate) side of the tape is designed for mounting photopolymer plates, while the adhesive on the non-linered (sleeve/cylinder) side is designed for mounting to flexographic printing cylinders or sleeves. This ensures easy application during mounting and clean removal when demounting.
Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment
3M air release liners have a crosshatched pattern, unlike other mounting tapes that use a pebbled or flat release liner. The embossed crosshatched pattern imprints unique microchannels into the easy mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape. This results in virtually bubble-free mounting, as air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and sleeve or cylinder. Setup is faster with smoother surfaces, leading to cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The adhesive also maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
