FAQs

Is this tape compatible with all Brother P-Touch printers?

This tape is compatible with most Brother P-Touch label makers that accept 12mm (1/2 inch) TZe tapes. Always check your printer's manual for supported tape widths.

Can I use this tape outdoors?

Yes, the laminated design is water-resistant and UV-resistant, making it suitable for sheltered outdoor use.

How do I remove the backing?

The tape features a split-back design. Simply fold the label slightly to expose the split in the liner and peel it away.

Does this tape leave a sticky residue?

Because it features an extra-strength adhesive, it may leave some residue on some surfaces if removed. This can usually be cleaned off with rubbing alcohol.

Is the TZe-S231 different from the standard TZe-231?

Yes, the 'S' designation indicates it is an extra-strength adhesive tape, designed specifically for rougher or harder-to-stick-to surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Label tape is not printing or blank tape is coming out

Check that the tape is properly threaded through the guide and the cartridge is fully seated in the compartment.

Print appears faded or streaky

Clean the printer's print head using a cotton swab and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol, then perform a test print.

Tape is jamming inside the printer

Remove the cartridge, ensure there is no slack in the tape, and gently rotate the gear on the cassette to tighten the tape before reinserting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior adhesion on textured or rough surfaces
  • Highly resistant to environmental factors like moisture and heat
  • Sharp, clear print quality for professional results
  • Easy to install in compatible Brother P-Touch printers

Cons

  • Stronger adhesive may leave residue if removed from certain delicate surfaces
  • Slightly stiffer material than standard tape due to the high-tack backing
  • Not intended for use on skin or fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, open the cassette compartment of your Brother P-Touch label maker and press the TZe-S231 cartridge firmly into the slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the tape is threaded through the guide before closing the lid. For optimal adhesion, wipe the target surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease or dust before applying the label. To maintain your printer, print a test strip after replacing the cartridge to ensure the print head is aligned correctly. If the printer will be idle for an extended period, store the unit in a dry, room-temperature environment to prevent adhesive degradation.
