Nichiban tape
Vendor: Japantape.com; phone:212.533.4631
Product identifier: for paint masking, masking for raster cutting on laser engraver.
Quantities sold in: sleeves of multiple rolls, or by the case; price varies by size
Used for: Perfect level of tack; leaves no residue, won’t damage surface finishes. Thin enough to conform to complex curved surfaces, cuts cleanly and easily with X-acto knife. We often use this on back decorated screen mock-ups to create multi-step paint masks; cover a piece of acrylic with Nichiban, lightly vector cut mask lines (barely cut through tape, kiss the surface of the acrylic), then cut out the masked screen from the acrylic sheet with a heavier vector pass.
