Labelife Compatible Label Tape Replacement for Brother P Touch Label Maker Tape, TZe-231 Tape 12mm 0.47 Inch Laminated White TZe231 TZ231 for PT-D200 PT-D210 PT-D400 Label Maker, 26.2 Feet, 4-Pack

I have a six pack and haven't tried the other four. The first cartridge out of the package was junk, but the second one worked fine. br>br>I've never had any problems with knockoff cartridges from another seller, so I dismantled the old empty cartridge out of curiosity. I discovered the issue with the first one in this package, which I had suspected. So I popped the top off the malfunctioning cartridge from this package and was able to get it to work, albeit at the cost of about a meter of tape. br>br>Having gone through this, I would recommend that you do the 2 (or 3 or 4) counter-moves. Turn the green wheel clockwise until the cartridge is inserted into the label maker, then hold it in place. If the carbon tape is loose, it will roll into the white sticky tape feed, break free from the take up wheel, and stick to what would have been your label if it had worked properly. The carbon tape then rolls onto the white tape again. br>br>This knock off was identical to the other knock offs I've used in terms of quality. I disassembled both of them and found that the cartridge case and tape were identical. When compared to a Brother branded cartridge that I own, the knock off's case plastic and mechanics are of lower quality, but the label tape is identical. There isn't enough of a difference to justify the name brand's exorbitant price. br>br>I believe the knock off's plastic will degrade more quickly in the landfill. The recycling symbol for polypropylene (5) can be found on the transparent wrapper, but I couldn't find one on the cartridge. As a result, I'm not sure whether the indicator refers to the packaging or the cartridge. br>br>Even though this seller's price per unit was lower, I'm still going to buy the other knockoff I bought before when this 6 pack runs out, simply because I had to spend 45 minutes repairing the first one out of this package. That's why I docked two stars as well.

I didn't want to spend $40 on a single branded cartridge, so I experimented with this. Four of them for a third of the cost of the "real thing" seemed too good to be true, but after printing out about ten labels so far, I'm glad I decided to give them a try.

I was hesitant to use my label maker because the replacement tape was so expensive, but now I label everything instead of writing it by hand. This is a product that I will continue to buy.

It was simple to load into my machine, and it wound up nicely during printing. I've placed two orders and have never had a problem. They come highly recommended from me.

I'm a sucker for a good deal, so I was thrilled to discover this cheaper alternative to the P-card. Originality is a plus. Unfortunately, due to a flaw in the design, this tape is essentially useless. I returned it and thanked Amazon for their excellent customer service; I did not feel cheated. However, I strongly advise others to avoid purchasing this item because it will almost certainly clog up their P-drive. Because the product lacks a guide to keep the tape on track after printing, Touch Label Maker is not a good choice.

The level of quality remains constant. The green spool was to be turned until it was tight, according to the instructions. I followed the instructions and turned it in the correct direction, but it never tightened. It was easy to install and it worked right away.

I've been buying these labels for years because they're great labels at a great price. They're what I use in a P-style presentation. I've never had a problem with my touch label maker. I've gone through at least 30 cartridges and haven't had a single problem! For my Brother label printer, I saved a lot of money compared to buying name-brand labels.

These Labelife TZe label cartridges (12mm) worked perfectly in my Brother "label maker. " Because Brother label cartridges are so expensive, I had been avoiding using my label maker. In fact, purchasing a brand new label maker with four new cartridges was just as cost effective as purchasing the brand name replacement cartridges individually in their three-packs! However, everything has a trade-off, and these Labelife tapes (labels) appear to be a tad thinner, and removing the paper backing from the adhesive is a little more difficult. However, for the cost savings, it's not something I can't live with, and I don't notice any difference in the finished label's appearance. I'm grateful to Labelife for making using my label maker once again affordable!.
