3M participated at the just concluded Gulf Print & Pack 2013 by showcasing innovative flexographic solutions to the print and packaging markets.
WHERE To Print gathered in a chat with 3M Advanced Technology Application Engineer – Industrial Adhesives & Tapes Division for Middle East – Mr. Mohammed Jamal Yousef, that innovative products such as 3M Cushion-Mount Plus Tape for Flexographic Mounting Systems was to enable users maximise print quality. According to Mr. Yousef, what makes the new product innovative the “new exclusive liner that prevents air entrapment by forming microchannels in the adhesive” thereby improving the consistency of print quality due to reduction of air bubbles that can cause ‘blemishes’ in screen and process jobs. It invariably also ensures durability and improvement of the life-span of flexo-presses.
