It looks like we are talking two vastly different tape types here. On one side we have various clear/tan/white polypropylene or pvc box sealing types, and on the other, paper paint masking  types.
At least that's where Jason's link took me.

yep, the paper kind is what i have been using for 15 years, ZERO problems.

I think it depends on if you have wb in the house.  Those crepe paper paint tapes and the like are great for plastisol but no dice for wb inks.

I would agree on long runs, but I do use it on the short run WB jobs I do.

I use some tape from ship-paq  I get 110 yard for 3.70 a roll I think, I know it was under $4.00  it works great and their customer service is outstanding. In fact my rep Maria  calls very month or so to  check in.  I think the minimum or is 18 rolls.  it leaves no residue and comes right off in the tank if you forget.

we use Ship-Paq too. I think I was paying just under $3 for 110 rubber based 2" tape.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!
