Bubble Free Flexographic Plate Mounting

An air release feature with plate side adhesive technology allows 3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1920 to be easily removed even in the presence of ink contaminates on flexographic print plates. This double coated light medium density pink foam tape, with a thickness of 0.020 inch (0.51 mm), is specifically designed for printing combinations of solids and process with halftone dots. 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, 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
  • 3M sticky back tapes are designed for wide-web presses to print film or paper for the flexible packaging industry

3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1920 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. Easy plate removal from the tape may result in 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.

On Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment

Unlike flat or pebbled liners, E-Series liners are crosshatched. This imprints unique microchannels into the adhesive that allow air to flow throughout the adhesive. As a result, air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and cylinder or sleeve, ensuring virtually bubble-free mounting. This setup allows for faster and smoother surfaces, resulting in 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 the tape can withstand long and high-speed print runs.
