The Advantages of 3M™ Air Release Flexographic Plate Mounting Tape

On easy with reduced air entrapment. Unlike flat or pebbled liners, E-Series liners are crosshatched. This imprints unique micro-channels into the adhesive that allows air to flow throughout. Air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, and between the tape and cylinder or sleeve for virtually bubble-free mounting. Setup is faster with smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity. 

 

Stays on with reduced edge-lifting. Exclusive 3M plate-side adhesive maintains tight contact. Saves the prep time, downtime and labor of sealing plate edges.

Maximize Print Quality, Minimize Plate Damage.

3M provides a full range of mounting tape for printing with a wide range of tolerances while providing options that provide easier plate removal to combat high adhesion while reducing plate lift. Thicker and firmer mounting tape is typically used to ensure even ink transfer and solid coverage onto the substrate when printing solid colors. In process printing, where a full range of colors and tones are used, a softer and thinner mounting tape is preferred to accommodate the intricate halftone dots and ensure accurate color reproduction.  For combination printing, which involves both solid areas and fine details, a medium-softness mounting tape with moderate thickness can provide the necessary support while allowing for finer dot reproduction.
