We print various books that use the staple and tape binding method.
Our tape supplier has gone out of business and we are trying to find a new tape suitable for our application. The tape we were using was labeled "Linson" and was an embossed paper tape purchased from Reliable. Before that we used a paper masking tape supplied by Lutz Machinery. Both suppliers have gone out of business and we can't seem to find any suitable replacement tapes.
We use both a Standard Spine Taper 100 and a Soyuz to apply tape to the stapled book block. Since the book must then be hand pulled through the machine the tape must strip easily from the roll and at the same time have strong adhesion to the book cover (usually vellum bristol or index). Our most used tape is 1 1/2" by 60 yd roll in black.
If anyone can point me to a suitable product I would be very grateful.
