5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for Manila Folders, January 31, 2006

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 ½" width. I prefer the 3/8" width for manila folders because the label fits nicely on the tab near the top edge, making the print easy to read when the manila folder is in a file cabinet. The only drawback to this size tape is that it is actually more expensive than the ½" tape.

There is also a 3/8" 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.

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.

I love my P-Touch labeller - my kitchen, my office and my bathroom all show signs of avid labeling. I was excited to get additional tapes and this was a great price - they work as advertised!
