wasted tape
Great product but its sure a waste of tape with 1/2 inch of extra tape on every print. can't someone send this to Japan and design it right?

Good Quality and easy to use
Brother PT-1280 P-touch Electronic Labeling SystemAmazon's price is almost half of any retail stores and office suppliers. Great machine with many household uses.

The backing stuck to the 3/8 tape at times. I did not have this problem with the 1/2 size.

Useful for Manila Folders
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.
