- 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) double coated foam tape has the air release feature with a plate side adhesive technology designed to remove with less force in the presence of ink contaminates on flexographic print plates
- Has a standard medium density foam that is ideal for printing combinations of solids and process with halftone dots
- White foam color indicates the standard, medium 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 L1015 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

3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1015 is a high-quality white foam tape specifically designed for combination print. It is the standard tape used for combination print and offers the unique feature of air release, ensuring bubble-free mounting. This flexographic plate mounting tape is known for its excellent resistance to lifting on press and its tolerance 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 narrow web presses to print tags and labels
3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are engineered to provide 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 15 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, ensuring 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 during demounting.
Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment
3M air release liners feature a crosshatched pattern, unlike other mounting tapes that use a pebbled or flat release liner. The embossed crosshatched pattern creates unique micro-channels in the easy mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape. This results in virtually bubble-free mounting, as air bubbles disappear between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and sleeve or cylinder. The smoother surfaces created by this tape setup lead to faster printing and cleaner print quality, while the adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
