3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Tapes

with E and EH-Series Adhesives

3M EH-Series Tapes combine the air release of 3M E-Series Tapes with adhesive that resists edge lifting on small diameter cylinders. These ten tapes provide production enhancements for printers plus the print quality customers expect.

On easy with reduced air entrapment

  • Unlike flat or pebbled liners, crosshatched microchannels in EH-Series liners allow air to bleed from between the tape and plate, and between the tape and cylinder
  • Helps eliminate bubble problems for easier, virtually error-free mounting
  • Setup is faster with smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity

Stays on with reduced edge-lifting

  • Exclusive adhesive maintains tight contact between tape and plate to dramatically reduce edge lifting
  • Saves prep, downtime, and labor of sealing plate edges
  • Prevent blemishes in screen and process printing
  • Help assure proper registration

Balancing solids and dots for customer satisfaction

  • Choice of constructions for solids or halftones, or combination solids and dots

Exclusive Liner Creates Microchannels In Adhesive That Prevent Air Entrapment.

  • Proprietary 3M technology
  • Crosshatched pattern creates a continuous and permanent network of microchannels in the adhesive, allowing air to flow on both sides of tape
  • Advantages and benefits
  • Allows air to escape from between tape and sleeve/cylinder and tape and plate for easier mounting
  • Improves consistency of print quality due to reduction of air bubbles that can cause "blemishes" in screen and process jobs
  • Increases productivity with less time spent on plate mounting
