E-Series Tapes with
Easy Mount Adhesive
On easy with reduced air entrapment
Unlike flat or pebbled liners, E-Series liners are
crosshatched on both sides with unique microchannels
that allow air to flow throughout the adhesive. Improved
airflow virtually eliminates air bubble problems for easier
application. Air bleeds from between the tape and plate,
and between the tape and cylinder or sleeve for virtually
error-free mounting. Setup is shorter with smoother
surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity.

Stays on with reduced edge-lifting
Exclusive 3M plate-side adhesive maintains tight contact
between tape and plate to dramatically reduce edge lifting.
Saves the prep time, downtime, and labor of sealing
plate edges.
Peels off easily to reduce plate damage
E-series tapes grip tightly but peel off so easily you
can virtually eliminate plate back treatment. You’re less
likely to damage plates, so save time, labor, and money.
