correction tape

Typewriter error fix

Correction tape is a strip of opaque white film used to cover typing or writing mistakes on paper.

Unlike liquid correction fluid, it applies dry and can be written over immediately.

The tape dispenses from a small handheld device that rolls the film onto the page: I keep correction tape in my desk drawer.
