What the AI looks for in Highlighter Tape
- Removability
- Low-tack adhesive that lifts without lifting fibres or ink from the page Removing marks cleanly is the main reason to choose tape over ink.
- Width vs. text size
- Match the tape width to the line height of the text you are marking Tape that is too wide covers adjacent lines and is confusing.
- Translucency
- Text must stay clearly legible through the tape Heavily tinted tape obscures what it is meant to emphasise.
Brands that matter
- Lee Products: Known for removable highlighter tape used in schools and libraries.
- Post-it: Removable labeling and cover-up tape, plus flag highlighters.
What to avoid
- Ordinary coloured washi or craft tape, which can tear paper when removed.
- Leaving tape in books for years, since adhesive can age and transfer.
