Ping Spehro: P-Touch Label Tape

Hi Spehro,

I believe you mentioned you use a P-Touch labeler?

Time to replenish my cartridge stock.

Are any of the non-Brother brands of label tape of sufficient quality?

Thanks! ...Jim Thompson

I have a PT-1750, and use the TZ tapes. I find them on eBay, and buy a couple at a time to save shipping. I'm pretty sure they are fakes, but seem to work fine.

Jon, Do any of these off-brands match what you are successfully using....

Some posters complain of "jamming" or not working at all. ...Jim Thompson

The ones I have gotten all have a stylized TZ where the top one in your link says "label". Maybe that makes a difference, I have NO IDEA. But, I have not had any problem with the ones I have gotten. I do end up paying somewhere between $12 - 18 each, so maybe avoid the ultra-cheap ones.

Hmm, I can get a 120mm diameter roll of 60mm thermal label paper (I think about 50m length unrolled) for like 30 bucks retail. You just need a way to slit it and reload the cartridges.

Consumer printer consumables have crazy prices.
