PRODUCT FAQ
-
What makes the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1320 suitable for use on yellow printing plates?
The yellow color of this particular tape helps with easy identification and positioning during plate mounting. It provides good visibility for accurate application.
-
How long is each roll of the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1320?
Each roll of this tape measures 24 inches wide by 36 yards long, providing ample material for plate mounting applications.
-
Can the 20 mil thickness of the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1320 provide adequate cushioning and support for various printing jobs?
Yes, absolutely! The tape's 20 mil thickness offers excellent cushioning properties to help achieve consistent print quality while minimizing plate bounce during high-speed printing.
An air release feature with plate side adhesive technology allows 3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1320 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 soft density yellow foam, is perfect for achieving high-quality medium soft combination prints. It securely bonds the flexographic photopolymer plate to the print sleeve or steel cylinder, preventing plate edge lifting during printing. Notably, this flexographic plate mounting tape has excellent resistance to lifting on press and is tolerant to ink contaminates, 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 Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1320 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 and reducing 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 and clean removal when demounting.
On 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 smoother surfaces provided by the E-Series liners enable faster setup, cleaner print quality, and higher productivity. Additionally, the adhesive 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.
