About the Tape:

This blue pressure-sensitive tape is purpose-built for the inkjet cartridge refilling process. Its low-tack design allows for clean removal while helping to protect nozzle surfaces during storage or transit. When used with a compatible storage clip that applies pressure, the tape helps keep ink from drying and shields the printhead from external contaminants or damage.

Storage Guidelines:

1. Cool and Dry Location: Store away from heat sources in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.

2. Long-Term Storage: Keep in a Ziploc or airtight bag to prevent moisture exposure over time.

This specialty tape is a practical choice for professionals and DIY users alike, provided it’s paired with a proper storage clip to ensure a secure seal.
