5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for Hanging File Folder Labels, January 31, 2006
By Lonnie E. Holder "The Review's the Thing" (Columbus, Indiana, United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I have used several Brother label makers, all of which use the TZ series tapes. Of those tapes, my two favorite are black on white in this width and the 3/8" width. I prefer the 1/2" width for hanging file folders because the label fits nicely on the tab. I like the 3/8" width (TZ-221) for use with manila folders because the narrower width positions closer to the edge of the tab.

There is also a 1/2" tape that is black on clear. However, the clear tapes also show any dirt or debris that might be trapped behind the tape. Thus, if you are in an environment that has even a small amount of dirt or other contamination, it may be readily visible against a light background after the tape is positioned.

One other caution regarding these tapes; the backing can be difficult to remove. The newer tape cartridges have a split backing that is easier to remove than the original single piece backing. Even so, a certain amount of manual dexterity is required to remove the backing.

UPDATE: Since the time I originally wrote this review, Brother has modified the backing to be in two pieces, making the backing easier to remove. However, the individual backing pieces can be a pain to throw away because they like to stick to just about everything through static electricity.

This tape adheres readily; the print is nicely defined and has a high contrast. The tape can be slightly difficult to handle. Overall, this tape is very useful in a variety of applications and one of my two favorite label maker tapes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great but expensive and no generic market, January 31, 2006
By P. Cofrancesco "PaulC" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the classic black letters on white tape.

The magic: the tape is seperated from the backing in the
label printer then the letters are burned with a thermal
print head from the inside of the tape then it is stuck
back down the the backing and comes out of the machine.
This is why the letters cannot be wiped off even with
alcohol or other cleaners.

Black letters on white works on all surfaces. I have used
black letters on clear backing which looks nice but requires
the label be stuck on a light surface. If surface is dark it
is hard to see the lable. Black on white is also the cheapest most common tape.

Price is very high and I don't know of any aftermarket. Amazons price is about the best. Gateway came close but often forgets the free shiping and it is a hassel to get a credit.

I buy 3 tapes at a time so I don't run out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Brother(brand)labeling tape 1/2", August 13, 2006
This is the OLD tape....meaning that there isn't a crease in the back so that you can "crack" it open and take off the protective covering so that you can stick it onto something and actually lable it!! It is very frustrating. Very. The newer version of the tape, of course, has this feature. Be careful

Works just as expected. These labels stick well, don't leave a residue when you remove them, and are effective for all your labeling needs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, inexpensive, but wastes a lot of tape when cut.
This is a versatile tape. Lots of uses. The problem is when you print, and cut for labeling, it wastes a few inches at a time. Read more
