3M 7000001106 Lithographers Tape 616 Ruby Red 1in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000001106 is a ruby red UPVC film tape with a rubber-based adhesive, engineered for lithographic stripping work in the graphic arts industry. The film is 2.4 mil thick and is both optically transparent and photographically opaque, making it suitable for masking and registration tasks where photographic accuracy matters. Each roll measures 1 inch wide by 72 yards long. Installation is typically performed by prepress technicians and graphic arts professionals working with film stripping layouts.

This tape is designed for lithographic stripping applications in the graphic arts and printing industry. Its photographically opaque properties allow it to block light transmission in film-based workflows, while its optical transparency supports precise visual alignment during the stripping process. The ruby red color is a standard indicator of its photographic opacity. It is sold by the roll and is appropriate for production environments requiring repeatable, precise masking on film flats and overlays.

Key Features

• 2.4 mil UPVC film construction for consistent thickness and dimensional stability
• Optically transparent and photographically opaque for accurate film masking
• Rubber adhesive provides reliable tack on film and related substrates
• Ruby red color confirms photographic opacity at a glance
• 1 inch width by 72 yard length per roll suits standard stripping layouts

Compatibility

Designed for use in lithographic stripping and film-based prepress workflows common to the graphic arts and commercial printing industries.

Installation Notes

Application is handled by prepress or graphic arts technicians without specialized tools beyond standard stripping equipment. The tape should be applied to clean, dry film surfaces to ensure proper adhesion and optical performance. Avoid stretching the film during application to maintain dimensional accuracy on the flat. Follow facility guidelines for handling photosensitive materials when working in darkroom or controlled-light environments.
