Review on 🎨 PRO ART Artist Tape 1/2-inch x 60-Yard Roll - Premium Quality White Tape for Art Projects by Gillian Ahn

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's a nice non-glossy (matte) white.

As an "artist band," this band is meant to be gentle on the medium the person is working on, but it is not. Boy isn't it. I'm interested in photography, so I bought this tape because I need window tape that can be removed without tearing the photo or the carpet (bonus if the tape is reusable). After reading the 'most useful' reviews it seemed like this was a tape. It's a nice non-glossy (matte) white so it looks great from a presentation standpoint and the 3/4 size is fine for most purposes, but once you stick the tape to the paper/photo/print nothing changes . return; If you try to remove the tape, it will either tear your work or leave a sticky layer. (also on glossy paper). I always use small pieces of tape to keep my prints intact, but even small pieces are difficult to remove without damaging or marking. I've tried reducing the strength of the adhesive by touching the sticky side (low tech solution but you know you've done it all) but that doesn't help much either. People in what are supposed to be "most helpful" comments say that this tape doesn't tear when you try to peel it off, but I think these reviews have a high ratio of "useful" to "not useful", because they said good things, and that's what people wanted to hear. Now that I've come back to read the other two reviews I wish they were more visible because they say exactly what I experienced with this product. I will use blue masking tape again because it never broke. My work rarely leaves a mark, and I just hope my photography professors don't look down into the mats or notice the blue ribbon sticking out between them.
