NITTO TAPE Masking tape No.720N

A professional-grade washi (Japanese paper) masking tape from Nitto, one of Japan's most trusted adhesive tape manufacturers. Originally designed for architectural painting, this tape has become a staple among manga artists and illustrators for masking panel borders, protecting areas during inking, and creating clean edges when filling in large black areas with ink or markers. It peels off cleanly without tearing the paper underneath.

Usage Notes

Can be easily torn by hand — no scissors needed. The back side of the tape does not repel paint or ink, and it unwinds smoothly for quick, precise application. Ideal for masking panel borders before filling with ink or alcohol markers, protecting finished areas during coloring, and achieving clean straight or curved lines. Successor to the discontinued No.720.
