Somehow, alongside varying run lengths, substrates, and formats, you have to meet an increasing demand for efficiency.
tesa offers a more comprehensive range of foams, adhesives, and technology. So you will have the ideal solution for your needs, gaining mounting and demounting efficiency, and perfect bonding, whilst reducing complexity, waste, on-press adjustments, and downtime. Just as the smallest changes in your set-up can impact your print quality, small changes in your process can make a positive impact on your productivity and profitability.
Being as efficient as possible isn't always simple. If you are looking for plate mounting solutions to support efficiency within your production, we have a broad plate mounting assortment: Reliable plate mounting tapes help avoiding common print issues and provide the best possible print quality. Our on-site training and consultations can help give your processes a lift, making savings on time and materials.
The right plate mounting foam hardness is key to consistent print quality. We offer five levels of foam hardness to ensure 'right first time' results whatever the motif, avoiding print defects such as excessive dot gain or pinholing. Our high-quality foams are especially resilient, enabling faster machine speeds and avoiding on-press setting adjustments and resulting waste.
No two adhesives are the same. All respond differently upon environmental conditions and print parameters. Choosing carefully will save you headaches and wasted time. The right plate-side adhesive will prevent edge lift for all plate thicknesses, and at the same time prevent plate damage when demounting. Our sleeve-side adhesives ensure quick and easy mounting and demounting of tape from sleeve at all times.
The plate mounting process can take up valuable time. That's why all our tesa® Softprint plate mounting tapes are developed having efficiency in mind. Our structured EA liner for example creates micro channels in the adhesive to avoid air entrapment beneath the printing plate so that no re-mounts are necessary.
At tesa, our flexo experts aren't just specialists in adhesive solutions, but also highly trained in flexo printing. Many of our colleagues have worked in the industry for decades and can help you re-assess processes to make them more efficient. Our global network gives us a local presence, so we are always on hand to offer unbiased onsite consultations and training. Together we will implement those solutions which will boost your efficiencies and future-proof your operations.
