FAQs

Is this tape water-resistant?

Yes, the tape is designed to be moisture and water-resistant for standard indoor and outdoor use.

Does the label leave a sticky residue when removed?

While the adhesive is strong for durability, it is designed to be removed cleanly from most smooth surfaces.

Can I use this in any Brother P-Touch printer?

It is compatible with any model that specifically supports 12mm (0.47 inch) TZe or TZ series tapes.

What is the background color of the label?

The background is clear, meaning the surface you apply it to will show through the label, leaving only the black text visible.

How long is the tape in each cartridge?

Each cartridge provides 8 meters (approx. 26.2 feet) of tape.

Is this an original Brother brand cartridge?

No, this is a high-quality compatible replacement manufactured by Alpa-Cartridge.

Troubleshooting

Label tape is not printing correctly or appearing blank

Ensure the tape is properly threaded through the guide slot and that the cassette is firmly clicked into the printer housing.

Tape is jamming inside the label maker

Remove the cartridge, gently pull out any tangled tape, and cut off the damaged section before re-inserting the cassette.

Text appears faded or light

Check your printer's battery levels; low power often results in poor print quality and light text.
