Just clean, transparent, high-tack adhesive across the entire 2-inch width — engineered for fast snap-tear application and residue-free removal.

Description
PMI Quick Rip 2″ — No Blue Liner — 100% Clear, 100% Adhesive
This is the specialized version of PMI’s hand-tearable screen tape for shops that want complete adhesion with zero visual distraction. No blue tab on the edge. No non-adhesive zones of any kind. The entire 2-inch width is clear film and high-tack adhesive — what you see on the screen is exactly what you’re bonding. Built for precision print-side blockout work: pinholes, fine registration marks, and any area where you need to see the mesh through the tape while you work.
Ink Compatibility
What Makes the No-Blue-Liner Version Different
The standard PMI Quick Rip has a narrow blue non-adhesive tab on one edge. This version removes that tab entirely — delivering a tape that is uniformly clear and uniformly adhesive from edge to edge. Here’s why that matters for specific applications:
Clear film all the way across means you can see exactly what’s underneath — pinhole location, registration mark position, mesh damage — while the tape is applied. No blue edge obstructing your view at the side of the strip.
Every millimeter of the 2-inch width is adhesive. No dead zone at the edge that could create a micro-gap for ink to seep under. This is especially valuable when taping near fine stencil edges or covering small isolated pinholes where full perimeter sealing matters.
Some shops prefer all-clear tape on their screens for a cleaner visual — no colored elements that can be confused with tape orientation, color separations, or registration marks when screens are checked before printing.
Feature Breakdown
100% Clear Film
The transparent backing lets you see the mesh and stencil through the tape at all times. Critical for precision pinhole work — you can position the tape over the exact defect, see it through the tape to confirm coverage, then press down. No guesswork, no re-lifts.
Fully Adhesive — Edge to Edge
Without the blue non-adhesive tab, every millimeter of the 2-inch width bonds to the mesh. There’s no edge zone that could lift or allow ink seepage. The tape seals completely flat across its full width.
Snap-Tear Speed Backing
Same quick-tear engineered backing as the standard Quick Rip line. Snap it by hand to your required length — no scissors, no blade required. Clean straight tear every time, even at speed.
2″ Precision Width
Narrow enough to target specific areas on a screen without covering healthy emulsion unnecessarily. Ideal for isolated pinholes, single registration marks, and tight blockout areas close to the stencil edge.
Zero Residue Removal
PMI’s clean-release acrylic adhesive leaves no sticky deposits on mesh or emulsion after removal. Pull the tape after the run and the screen is clean — no solvent, no scraping.
Emulsion Safe
The adhesive formula is designed to release without lifting emulsion off the mesh. Critical on the print side where the tape is in direct contact with the stencil surface.
No Release Liner
No paper backing to peel before application. Unroll, snap-tear, place — one motion. In a production shop taping dozens of pinholes per shift, eliminating the liner-peel step saves real time.
Manual & Auto Press Ready
Holds through the mechanical stress of automatic press operation — squeegee pressure, off-contact flex, and repeat cycle vibration will not lift the tape from the mesh during the run.

How to Use — Pinhole & Print-Side Blockout
Hold the screen up to a light source to locate pinholes or open mesh areas that need to be blocked. The clear tape will let you see exactly what’s underneath once applied — but identifying before taping saves material.
Grip the roll and snap the tape to your required length with a quick wrist motion. The backing tears cleanly and straight — no scissors needed, even for small precise strips.
Apply the tape to the print side of the screen (the side the squeegee rides across) over the area to be blocked. The clear film lets you see the pinhole or mark through the tape to confirm alignment before pressing.
Press the tape firmly from center outward, then run a fingernail or squeegee edge along all four edges to seal completely. Every edge must be fully bonded — any lifted edge is a path for ink.
Check the tape is lying flat with no bubbles or lifted edges. The transparency lets you visually confirm the pinhole is covered. Then print — the tape holds through the full run.
Peel from a corner after the run. Without the blue tab, simply use a fingernail to initiate the lift at a corner. Clean release — no residue on the mesh.
