The challenge.
• Optimizing flexographic print quality 
requires thinner photopolymer plates
• Use of thinner plates creates a gap 
that requires compensation
• Compensating for thinner plates by replacing 
cylinders, changing gears or adding sleeves 
involves considerable expense
The solution.
• 3M
Cylinder Mount Build-Up Tapes provide 
the best of both worlds — print quality and economy
• Simply mount the build-up tape on your existing 
plate cylinder, then mount any 3M
Flexomount
Cushion-Mount
or Cushion-Mount

3M
Cylinder Mount Build-Up Tapes
Another advantage of 3M
™ 
Cylinder Mount Build-Up
Tapes is the increased flexibility in changing repeat length
without the need for investing in new cylinders. This allows
better utilization of existing cylinder and gear inventory to
meet a larger range of repeat lengths.
• 1620 for 1/8'' pitch presses
• 1640 for 1/4'' pitch presses
• 1650 for 10 pitch presses
