An air release feature with plate side adhesive technology allows 3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1720 to be easily removed even in the presence of ink contaminates on flexographic print plates. This tape, made of 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) double coated medium firm density teal foam, securely bonds the flexographic photopolymer plate to the print sleeve or steel cylinder, preventing plate edge lifting during printing. It is particularly suitable for printing combinations of solids and process with halftone dots. Notably, this flexographic plate mounting tape has excellent resistance to lifting on press and is tolerant to ink contaminates, allowing for easy and clean plate removal.
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 Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1720 is constructed with engineered acrylic adhesives specifically for 20 mil applications. The adhesive on the linered (plate) side of the tape is designed for mounting photopolymer plates, allowing for easy plate removal with less worker fatigue and plate damage. The adhesive on the non-linered (sleeve/cylinder) side is designed for mounting to flexographic printing cylinders or sleeves, providing easy application at mounting and clean removal when demounting.
Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment
Unlike flat or pebbled liners, E-Series liners are crosshatched, creating unique microchannels in the adhesive that allow air to flow throughout. This results in virtually bubble-free mounting, as air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and cylinder or sleeve. The setup is faster with smoother surfaces, leading to cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The adhesive also maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
Understanding Flexographic Plate Mounting Tapes
3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are highly engineered to provide very tight caliper tolerance, allowing flexographic printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam used in these tapes can withstand long and high-speed print runs.
