The possibilities in flexoprint are ever increasing. Customer demands for perfect print results are growing accordingly. The choice of the correct plate mounting tape becomes a pivotal decision for flexo printers because the tape defines the print image in an important way. According to the different hardness of the printing plate the correct mounting tape – with its cushioning effect – must be chosen carefully. The company Lohmann, offers with its DuploFLEX HP5 (High Performance) range of products an exceptional alternative to conventional cushion tapes. Not least because of its high performance polymer foam, this product range is the first choice for the most challenging print jobs. Its uniform cell structures and comparatively small cell sizes makes the DuploFLEX HP 5 range standout. Furthermore, Lohmann´s HP foam distinguishes itself by incomparably high stability and superior resilience. Its’ consistent foam behaviour counteracts machine vibrations and significantly reduces distracting vibration marks. Lohmann offers this special product range in four different foam hardnesses, which allow fine process work as well as large fonts. Another exclusive advantage of the DuploFLEX range is its double-sided reinforcement. In contrast to conventional foam mounting tapes with a single-sided laminated PET film, all of Lohmann´s foam plate mounting tapes are equipped with a double-sided flexible PE reinforcement. Therefore, the forces acting upon the compressible foam are perfectly cushioned and no uncontrolled dot gain appears. These unique product features produce an excellent print image, with many users achieving even higher print speeds.
