3M introduces flexo plate mounting tapes for high speed printing

To take full advantage of newer higher speed presses, 3M has introduced two series of Cushion-Mount Plus tapes: the medium-soft combination 13 Series and the medium combination 15 Series. Both tape series bounce less on faster presses, and print cleaner fine-type reverses and richer halftones.

These 3M tapes with Easy Mount adhesive feature microchannels that allow air to release and eliminate bubble problems for easier, virtually air-free mounting. The adhesive removes cleanly from the print plate and the print cylinder.
