I dev tacos in a standard patterson tank ( don't know about jobo, sorry!) with ordinary elastic bands, HOWEVER on one occasion I was left with a temporary mark on the negative when using green ones which took some gentle rubbing ( with my finger under running water) to remove.
No damage caused as the band didn't touch the emulsion but i've purposely avoided colour bands since.

Which type of band is the least of my worries when using the taco method.
The time before last when developing sheet film I managed to put one taco over the central spindle and one over the top of another. Bearing in mind that I was only developing four sheets I managed to ruin three all in one go!
