I was wanting to get some mylar paper tape. There is an auction on Ebay for
6 rolls of "black paper tape"... can one generally assume that black paper
tape is mylar and not just paper?
The URL is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2562042672
Can anyone advise if this is likely to be mylar or not?
Regards,
Jay West

Not necessarily, there are a lot of different tape colors that were in use,
some companies
had a whole spectrum of colors for use in internal communications for
various departments. You should always check to be sure, are you also aware
the punch
mechanism for mylar has a different head than the standard punches. Careful
as the head
in constant use may need serious cleaning.

Not a good idea, I'm afraid. I have a roll of jet-black paper tape here
at home amongst about 16 rolls of yellow. (Ironically, I don't have a
tape punch at the moment. <g>)

generally the black paper tape is just paper... the Mylar is several
different colors but have never seen it in black

I'd contact the seller and ask them if the tapes are oiled (you can smell the
oil) - if so, they are not mylar. (I've used a lot of that black/oiled tape
- btw, mylar tape is typically not black, IMHO and experience)

NO! I have several boxs of black PAPER tape so they do (did!) make the
stuff.

That wouldn't be a prudent assumption. I have a bunch of programs on
black paper tape and it is indeed paper.

Mylar paper tape has never come in black, as far as I know.
Black paper tape was sold for use with photoelectric paper tape readers
like HP's, which work, sometimes
with yellow paper (until any oil get on the tape anyway). But the black
stuff makes even a sloppy optical
reader work great, and it does not kill the edges on your punch like
Mylar will do.
