-
Can you tell me more about the thickness of this particular tape and how it affects performance?
This specific model features a thickness of 20 mil, which offers a good balance between cushioning support and flexibility for optimal plate adherence and print quality.
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. 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 these tapes can withstand long and high-speed print runs.
