Screen Tape Masking 2" & 3" inch

Masking Tape for screen printing it's used to block off areas of the screen that should not be exposed to ink. This tape is essential for creating clean, sharp edges and for protecting areas that should remain un-printed, such as the borders or certain sections of a design.

• Masking Tape: it is made from paper with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which allows it to stick securely without leaving residue behind when removed. The paper surface is generally smooth, which helps to prevent any ink from seeping through the edges.
• Width and Thickness: Masking tape is available in 2" inch and 3" inch wide. Rolls are 60yards long.
• Adhesive: The adhesive is designed to be strong enough to stay in place during the printing process but gentle enough to avoid damaging the screen or leaving residue on the emulsion.
• Usage: Masking tape is used to:
  • Block out areas of the screen mesh that are not part of the design, such as: Registration Marks, Pin Holes and the border around the emulsion.
  • Cover the edges of the screen frame to prevent ink from seeping through and causing unwanted marks.
• Durability: It can withstand the pressure of screen printing, including the force applied during the squeegee stroke, as well as exposure to various types of inks and chemicals used in the printing process.

Overall, masking tape for screen printing helps achieve crisp, clean, and professional-looking prints by ensuring areas are neatly separated and preventing ink from spreading where it's not wanted.
