One of the most underestimated factors in lexicographic printing is the interplay between the lexicographic printing plate and the adhesive tape. The tape’s adhesive must hold the plate firmly in place during the printing process, yet allow for easy removal after the job is printed. If the adhesive is too aggressive it will leave unwanted residue on the plate or cylinder requiring added clean-up time. If the adhesive is less than sufficient, plate edge lifting or bubbling may result in affecting printing performance. As presses run at higher speeds, any interruption (job changeovers and downtime of presses) results in higher costs. Quick changeovers are also becoming more and more important due to the rising amount of short-runs, so plate-mounting tape must allow for fast and easy removal of plates and their adhesive. In addition to printing efficiency, plate-mounting tape is a key determinant of overall print quality. The adhesive foam tape supports the printing plate to facilitate accurate transfer of the plate image to the substrate.
