When there’s a job to be done, and your bottom line is at stake, you need hardworking solutions to deliver the quality your craft demands. That’s why Anderson & Vreeland offers an extensive portfolio of exceptional 3M Cushion-Mount L-Series, Pro-Series, and EH-Series tapes – to ensure that your print room is a space where science and craft can work as one.
Industry-Leading Tape Densities from 3M
3M provides the industry’s largest range of tape densities, ensuring you have the optimal technology for consistent output and a more productive process from start to finish.
Optimal Repositioning and Removal with 3M Tapes
Each 3M plate mounting tape type is produced to tight capillary tolerances and engineered to stick firmly while still allowing air to escape. Our E-Series liners are cross-hatched, unlike flat or pebbled liners that restrict airflow and create surface bubbling. In fact, 3M EH-Series Tapes combine the air-release of 3M E-Series Tapes with higher plate side adhesion to resist edge lifting on cylinder diameters as small as two inches.
Consistent Print Results with 3M Cushion-Mount Tapes
3M Cushion-Mount Plate Mounting Tapes help your prints maintain optimal position with easy repositioning and removal, all with consistent performance and edge-lift prevention, even across humid conditions.
The cross-hatched adhesive liners’ air release features cause air bubbles to disappear from the tape and plate as well as the tape and cylinder or sleeve, allowing for virtually bubble-free mounting. This bubble-free feature also benefits print quality and longevity by ensuring better print registration and reducing the likelihood of damaging the expensive plates and plate-backs.
Productive Process, Start to Finish with 3M
Each step of production requires skill and attention to detail, even after the press run is complete. That’s why 3M Cushion-Mount L-Series and Pro-Series mounting tapes are optimized to prevent edge lift yet create 78% easier flex-plate removal. In addition, Pro-Series tapes require up to 54% less force to remove from the sleeve. Removing flexographic plates in one, undamaged piece allows you to reuse, rather than remake plates, saving both time and money.
3M‘s cutting-edge flexographic mounting tapes are designed to give you better solid ink, process, and combination printing, combined with easier handling and efficient craftsmanship so you can keep your plates and your profits secure.
