PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the 3M™ Lithographers Tape 616 made of?

    The 3M™ Lithographers Tape 616 is made of a durable, translucent paper backing with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.

  2. Is this tape easy to use?

    Yes! This tape can be easily torn by hand or accurately cut with a utility knife. It also has good adhesion to different types of surfaces.

  3. Can this tape withstand high temperatures and humidity levels?

    Indeed it can! The 2.4 mil thickness and strong adhesive make it resistant to moisture, solvents and heat up to 200°F (93°C). It won’t dry out or leave residue when removed quickly after use from surfaces like lithographic plates, positive films, negatives as well as metal plates used in flexography.

  4. How much comes in one case?

    One case contains 72 rolls per unit at half an inch width by seventy-two yards in length per roll. That's over five thousand linear feet total!

  5. Where else can I use this red litho tape besides printing graphics on packaging material for food applications

    Besides traditional plate-making processes for graphic arts industry including G7 calibration process adherence plus wide range imaging reproduction quality on various substrates like foam-board shield paint chips when painting cars; the ruby-red color enables superior contrast against any background making it ideal for pre-offset press work such as marking positions.
