Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does 3M™ 616 leave residue after removal?
A: When applied correctly and removed under the intended application conditions, 3M™ 616 is designed to provide clean removal for most typical pad printing and graphic arts applications.
As with any technical tape, performance may vary depending on the material, temperature, application time, and operating conditions, so a preliminary test is recommended.
Q: What color is 3M™ 616?
A: It is a transparent ruby red. Its transparency allows you to clearly see where it is applied (the design or the underlying film) for precise positioning, but the ruby red color makes it opaque to (UV) light.
Q: For what applications is the 25 mm format recommended?
A: The 25 mm format is a very versatile solution for most pad printing and plate preparation applications, offering an excellent balance between precision and application speed.
