Tips for Optimum Plate Mounting
Cleaning
Process
All elements should be handled at room
temperature – or at least at equal
temperatures.
Plate cleaning
Clean back of new or used plate of dust,
grease, or other contamination using a
suitable solvent.
Cylinder/sleeve cleaning
Clean per manufacturer recommendations
and wipe dry with clean cloth.
Mounting
Tape mounting
Apply the tape in a sweeping motion,
line by line. Use a squeegee for best
results.
Plate mounting
Only fix the plate on a narrow area
of the tape. Avoid premature contact
between plate and tape by using
liner material.
Mount plate with rubber roller, at least
on the leading and trailing edge. This
will give a better bond than just by hand.
Demounting
Plate and tape demounting
Remove plate first, then remove the
tape slowly at a flat angle.
