Professional-grade 0.020 inch double-coated foam tape for flexographic plate mounting with air release technology, bubble-free application, and easy clean removal from print plates and cylinders.
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1220 is a premium 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) double-coated foam tape specifically engineered for flexographic printing applications. This orange foam mounting tape features an innovative air release technology with cross-hatch pattern microchannels that eliminate air bubbles during plate mounting, ensuring bubble-free installation on print sleeves and steel cylinders. The differential acrylate adhesive system is designed with plate-side adhesive technology that removes with minimal force from flexographic photopolymer plates, while the sleeve-side adhesive provides secure bonding without residue.
The E1220 tape features a light density polyethylene foam backing that is ideal for printing combinations of solids and process colors with halftone dots, delivering high-quality combination prints. The orange foam color indicates the light density composition, making it part of the 12 Series tapes that enable operation at higher press speeds with an expanded color gamut. With a polycoated polyester release liner (4.5 mil thick), this tape maintains tight caliper tolerance allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam withstands long and high-speed print runs, providing excellent resistance to edge lifting during printing operations.
This industrial-grade tape comes in a convenient 54 inch width by 36 yard length roll format, offering a 24-month shelf life and 2-year warranty from date of manufacture. The E1220 is manufactured specifically for 20 mil applications and is compatible with urethane sleeves. Designed for professional flexographic printing operations, this tape ensures faster setup times, smoother surfaces, cleaner print quality, and higher productivity with its advanced easy-mount adhesive technology.
