3M 7000050036 Lithographers Tape 616 Ruby Red 1in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000050036 is a ruby red UPVC film tape with a rubber adhesive designed for lithographic stripping applications in the graphic arts industry. The film is 2.4 mil thick and is both optically transparent and photographically opaque, making it suited for masking and registration work on film flats and overlays. At 1 inch wide and 72 yards long, each roll provides substantial coverage for production environments. Licensed graphic arts technicians and prepress professionals are the primary installers of this product.

This tape is used across a range of lithographic stripping applications where precise masking and optical clarity are required. Its photographically opaque ruby red film blocks UV and actinic light during exposure processes, while the rubber adhesive provides clean, repositionable contact on film and glass surfaces common in prepress and platemaking workflows.

Installation Notes

This tape is applied by prepress or graphic arts technicians during film stripping and platemaking processes. Clean the application surface of dust, oils, and debris before applying to ensure proper adhesion. Avoid stretching the film during application, as distortion can affect registration accuracy. Store rolls away from direct heat and humidity to maintain adhesive performance.
