Hello All..
We use regular Scotch Magic Tape for registering film on carrier sheets.
Even with careful peeling, we get a fair amount of sticky left over from the tape.
Out carrier sheets are looking rather beaten.
Any suggestion on a non-sticky tape would get the job done without leaving a residue?
Thanks.
John

Scotch blue might be exactly what you're looking for, only tape we use on carriers unless they are being archived. Peels very clean.

Scotch Blue which is product# 2090 will work,
The low tack version is product #2080 which should work even better. A real paint store should have that one.

To demonstrate how clueless I am to other pre-press systems, wouldn't blue tape block
light on exposure creating tape shaped areas in your screen?

yes but in the case of the triloc, you tape the film to the carrier pretty high up.

back in the day, film black lines and cut ruby and format halftones, I'd use pins and carrier sheets similar to what you are talking about.
My dual dispenser still has one roll or regular green box white core 810, and the other, what you could use,
811 Removable - Blue box, blue core, otherwise looks the same.
Any office supply store.

What Frog posted. It's what was recommended way back when we first got our triloc and we've never tried anything else.
