Professional-grade teal foam mounting tape for flexographic printing with air release technology, easy mount adhesive, and bubble-free mounting for superior print quality and registration.
3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1720 is a premium teal foam mounting tape specifically engineered for flexographic printing applications. This double-coated foam tape features innovative air release technology with differential acrylate adhesive on both sides, designed to securely mount photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves. The 20 mil (0.51 mm) thickness with medium firm density foam provides ideal performance for printing combinations of solids and process halftone dots, ensuring consistent print quality and registration across wide-web presses.
The E1720 tape incorporates advanced easy mount adhesive technology with a unique crosshatched release liner pattern that creates microchannels for air escape, eliminating air bubbles between the tape and plate, and between the tape and sleeve or cylinder. This results in virtually bubble-free mounting, faster setup times, and smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The plate-side adhesive is specifically formulated for easy removal with minimal force, while the sleeve-side adhesive provides secure bonding without adhesive residue during demounting.
Manufactured with polyethylene foam backing and polycoated polyester liner, this industrial-grade mounting tape is designed for long and high-speed print runs with tight caliper tolerance to maintain consistent print registration across multiple manufacturing lots. The tape provides excellent resistance to edge lifting during press operation and is compatible with both traditional cylinders and urethane sleeves, making it an essential solution for professional flexographic printing operations.
