EH-Series Adhesive to hold the edge on small diameter cylinder
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 2 inches.
Wide choice of adhesives, foams and thickness for the results your customers demand.
For halftone work where dot gain is a concern, a softer tape optimizes reproduction. When solids and dots share the plate, a combination tape can properly balance the result. When your customer requires solid ink and crisp lines, you’ll want a firm, high density mounting tape.
From the wide 3M selection, you can find the adhesives, foams, and thickness for the print quality that customers demand and expect. You’ll also find choices to meet your handling requirements for:
• Mounting ease and positioning accuracy
• Easy, clean removal from plate and cylinder
E-Series Tapes with Easy Mount Adhesive
- 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.
- Peels off easily to reduce plate damage. Peels off so easily you can virtually eliminate plate back treatment. You’re less likely to damage plates, so you save time, labor and money.
- Bubble-free print quality. Prevent blemishes in screen and process printing. Help assure proper registration.
L-Series Tapes with Less Removal Force
3M L-Series Tapes combine the air-release feature of 3M E-Series and H-Series Tapes. They are designed to provide easy and clean removal of printing plates across a wide range of printing applications with excellent resistance to plate lifting.
