Application of a temporary covering (e.g. tape or paper) to protect areas not to be painted.
Hiding or "masking" away portions of the model so they are not sprayed over by the wrong color or leaked into. This is usually done with a special modeler's tape that will stick, but not adhere to the paint, thus ripping it off. Masking tape is generally expensive, running 5 or more bucks for a small roll
In color separation photography, controlling or modulating color contrast and detail over the total area of each separation negative used for printed color reproduction. Contrast is heightened when the quality is lacking in the transparency.
In painting or screen-printing,the process of covering areas, usually with tape or paper, to protect them from receiving subsequent layers of paint or ink.
Covering an area with tape or Maskol fluid to protect it from an excess brush application or over spray of paint.
Protecting an area with tape/paper, etc.
Areas which are not to be painted are covered with a material, usually paper, tape or plastic, that prevents spray from coating the surface.
The process of temporarily covering areas of a surface to prevent the application of paint to areas where it is not wanted.
Covered area of a part to prevent coverage by powder during application. Masking Tape An adhesive tape made for easy application and removal to mask areas where coating is not to be applied. Material Utilisation The percentage of powder that actually is deposited on the parts.
Covering areas not to be coated.
The act of removing areas from an analysis in spatial data.
The process of blocking out areas in a computer graphic.
The process of covering areas with tape, etc, to keep them free of paint when painting an adjacent area.
In photomechanical processing, the blocking out of an area by means of actinically opaque material to prevent exposure in the blocked out area.
The process of applying a low-adhesive transfer tape to a piece of material prior to laser engraving. This procedure is used to protect some materials from smoke and heat damage. It is also used for color filling. Paint can be applied over the mask. When the mask is removed, paint should be only in the desired areas.
Temporary covering of areas not to be painted.
Application of paper or other material and masking tape to cover an object that must be protected from overspray.
Process of applying pressure, sensitive tape and paper to a vehicle to prevent paint from being applied where it is not wanted.
Covering an area that will not be painted.
shielding an area of paper when applying selective colour.
In process colour origination using a camera, masking meant the use of colour compensation techniques during the separation process to achieve results more faithful to the original and less liable to colour correction (e.g. applying a tri-mask or other specially made mask to an original to reduce contrast or enhance detail in separate areas and for specific colours). In colour film make-up, masking is the process of marking out specified areas, either electronically or mechanically, which are to undergo tint-laying, reversed out illustration, reversed lettering etc.
in the graphic arts, preventing a specific portion of an illustration from being reproduced by placing paper over it before exposure. In offset lithography, masking refers to the use of opaque material to protect non-printing areas of the printing plate during exposure.
