Screen Printing Block Out Tape

It blocks the open mesh outside the image area and seals the frame edges and corners on the inside of the screen, so ink only passes through the stencil. It is faster than filling large open areas with emulsion or screen filler.

Split tape has a liner split down the middle, so you can peel one half, fold it into the inside corner where mesh meets the frame and then stick down the other half. It makes a clean seal along the inside frame edge.

2 inch tape is enough for frame edges and small gaps. 3 inch tape covers wider open areas between the image and the frame in fewer strips.

Yes. Pull the tape off before you apply ink degradent and emulsion remover; leftover tape and adhesive get in the way of cleaning the mesh. An adhesive remover helps with any sticky residue.
