3M 7010393346 Premasking Application Tape 24 in 100 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7010393346 is a premasking application tape designed to simplify the transfer and installation of large-format graphics onto flat substrates. This translucent paper tape uses a low-tack adhesive formulation that holds graphics securely during positioning while releasing cleanly without leaving residue or damaging the print surface. The roll measures 24 inches wide and 100 yards long, providing substantial coverage for production-scale jobs. It is particularly well suited for use with 3M Screen Printing Ink Series 9700UV, where consistent tape-to-ink compatibility is essential for clean transfer results. Sign shops, graphics installers, and print production facilities are the primary users.

This tape is applied to cover and stiffen large, unprinted film pieces prior to final installation. It serves as a pre-mask carrier, keeping oversized vinyl or film graphics flat and dimensionally stable during handling and substrate application. The translucency allows installers to see through the tape for accurate alignment without removing it prematurely. It is suited for production environments where large panels or display graphics require a reliable intermediate handling layer before final squeegee application.

Installation Notes

Application tape of this type is typically applied by graphics installers or print shop technicians using a roller or squeegee to ensure full contact with the film surface. Ensure the substrate and film are clean and free of dust before applying the pre-mask. Remove the tape at the recommended low-angle peel after the graphic has been firmly adhered to the substrate to minimize lifting. Store rolls horizontally in a climate-controlled environment to preserve adhesive performance.
