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 thicknesses 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 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.
