The KUPO GTM-515B Matte Gaffa Tape is the black tape you reach for when shine would be a problem. It keeps the familiar 48 mm x 15 yd gaffa tape format, but uses a matte top finish to reduce glare around camera frames, light spill, fixtures, props, and reflective edges.
Why It Matters
Regular tape can catch a hot light or show up as a shiny patch on camera. A matte black finish helps hide quick fixes and edge control work more naturally, especially in photography, film, broadcast, theatre, and display environments.
