Mike, It could but that is partly up to the user. The tape is thin and
won't cause much change in height between the negative and paper. It is
possible that using it would allow a soft edge to form. So it depends on if
the softer edge is OK with you, the print maker. An overlap may let a
little light in as well so you'd need to trim it to the opening size of the
image. The down side of using tape is that it is flexible. When you apply
it care needs to be paid to how you are holding it so that the line created
by the tape is straight. This is ALL up to the print maker and how exact
they wish to be with clean straight edges on their print.
