3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1920-20HS with easy mount adhesive is designed for mounting flexographic print plates to urethane sleeves. This pink mounting sticky back foam tape provides high quality light medium combination print.

Cushion Mount E Series Tape
Designed to provide easy and clean removal of printing plates
Bubble Free Flexographic Plate Mounting
An air release feature with plate side adhesive technology allows 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1920-20HS to remove with less force in the presence of ink contaminates on flexographic print plates. This double coated pink foam tape is ideal for high quality light medium combination print and securely bonds the flexographic photopolymer plate to the urethane sleeve to prevent plate edge lifting during printing. Notably, this flexographic plate mounting tape has excellent resistance to lifting on press and is tolerant to ink contaminates, allowing for easy and clean plate removal. This tape is manufactured to a target thickness of 0.020 inches.

Recommended Applications
  • Mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing urethane sleeves
  • Used in combination, process and solid printing processes
  • 3M sticky back tapes are designed for wide-web presses to print film or paper for flexible packaging industry

3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1920-20HS is constructed with engineered acrylic adhesives for 20 mil applications. The adhesive on the linered (plate) side of the tape is designed for mounting photopolymer plates. Easy plate removal from tape may result in less worker fatigue and plate damage. The adhesive on the non-linered (sleeve/cylinder) side is designed for mounting to flexographic printing urethane sleeves, providing easy application at mounting and clean removal when demounting.

Cushion Mount E Series
Specially formulated adhesive limits edge lift for a more secure run, even on small repeats
On Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment
Unlike flat or pebbled liners, EH-Series liners are crosshatched. This imprints unique microchannels into the adhesive that allow air to flow throughout the adhesive. 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. The adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.

Understanding Flexographic Plate Mounting Tapes
3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are highly engineered to provide very tight caliper tolerance to allow flexographic printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots and keep tight print registration. The compressible foam will withstand long and high speed print runs.
