Mark Andy Print Products Offers New tesa SOFTPRINT Secure Tape Line

ST. LOUIS—October 14, 2014—Mark Andy Print Products, the supplies and consumables division of Mark Andy Inc., has announced the addition of the tesa Softprint Secure plate mounting tapes to its pressroom product offerings.

There are many challenges for label and packaging printers in maximizing the efficiency of their processes without sacrificing quality. Printers not only need to work at higher press speeds, they need to reduce downtime and waste created in prepress processes. Seeking out technology to assist in both of these departments has become necessary to run a profitable pressroom.

The tesa Softprint Secure plate mounting tapes provide assistance for narrow web printers facing challenges in plate lift and long run lengths. The plate roll/sleeve and plate side of the double-sided foam tape contain newly developed adhesives, preventing plate lift on small repeat cylinders and sleeves, while not sacrificing a strong bond. The Softprint Secure plate mounting tapes are designed for faster printing speeds and longer print jobs and can assist where plates are mounted with minimal seams. By keeping plates held down, edge-lifting is reduced, creating less downtime and waste.
