Shurtape CP-743 Matte Black Paper Tape is a photographer’s matte black masking tape. It features an opaque, matte surface for light-free masking and has high quick stick & adhesion when reproducing photographs. Shurtape CP743 Paper Tape is used for photographic reproduction work: cropping and edging negatives; positioning negatives for contact printing; redacting legal documents prior to copying; and sealing camera bellows and film holders against light leaks. Reliable tape for use in photo studios, film processing laboratories, as well as in home dark-rooms. CP743/P743 Masking Tape is also recommended for use as a chart tape. It features an easy, consistent unwind and is hand tearable. Also because CP-743 features a clear adhesive no white will be visible when looking at the tape from the side unlike a gaffers tape which has white adhesive which can sometimes be partially visible when looking at the tape from that angle. It is now manufactured by Shurtape and used to be referred to as Permacel P-743.
