Bubble Free Flexographic Plate Mounting

3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1720 is a teal foam tape that provides high-quality combination print. This medium firm tape is specifically designed for combination printing. It features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting. Additionally, this flexographic plate mounting tape has excellent resistance to lifting on press, 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 flexographic plate mounting tapes are highly engineered to provide a 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 20 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, while the adhesive on the non-linered (sleeve/cylinder) side is designed for mounting to flexographic printing cylinders or sleeves. This provides easy application during mounting and clean removal when demounting.

Easy Application 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 imprints unique microchannels into the easy mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape. This results in air bubbles disappearing from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and sleeve or cylinder, ensuring virtually bubble-free mounting. Setup is faster with smoother surfaces, leading to cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
