Bubble Free Flexographic Plate Mounting

3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1215 is an orange foam tape that provides high quality light combination print. It features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting. This flexographic plate mounting tape has excellent resistance to lifting on press and is tolerant to ink contaminants, 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 highly 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 with reduced 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.

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 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 from 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, with reduced edge lifting.
