OR get wide masking tape, and black out the parts you DO want.

Yeah, plain tape and a Sharpie is just too complicated.

It is kind of silly, but it does look as if it'll produce tidy lettering quickly.

agreed. this is one of those "lets make something way more complicated than it needs to be and then try to market it"

And, they're all out of stock :x

I know others are saying this is just trying to over complicate a simple concept. However as stokes says this will make everything "cleaner".

Also, this could be used with a Xacto knife to make "clean" front for single static psuedo "LCD" characters.

This could be pretty good for public inventory displays and price tags for small business with an 'IT' theme an '8-bit' style tape could be pretty cool too.

I agree with Ryan and Stanislaw; you're paying for a theme and a "look" for your message.
