Brother P-Touch label printer cartridges.

[Johnny Thunder]

Good morning ladies and gents.
For those who use a Brother labeller, do you use genuine cartridges or compatibles? And where do you get them?

Cheers.

Genuine. Tried a couple of the none genuine ones and didn't think they where much good.

And oddly I get them from Ebay, can often find a decent deal on them if you look around and are patient.

I was going to post this exact question as got a Brother labelling machine. I have only used 12mm they say you can use 9mm it this true. I used to get Dyno non-genuine ones of that make and were ok for labelling up sockets but I was always dubious of the length.

White or yellow insulating tape and a black marker pen

Genuine Brother tapes but from eBay.

Just stocked up with 18mm black on yellow tape for £7 a cassette (compared to approx. double that from Screwfix etc.)

I've never had any issues with compatible tapes. I only buy genuine when the customers paying...

 

[Moley]

I always use compatible off ebay. Never had any problems

Yes mate i put some thinner tape in mine this time round, i have a budget model and with the 12mm tape even with font set to small its quite large ... Thinner tape got it printing thinner... Amazon i got last ones from

Been using a genuine one but just bought some compatible ones to use and they were cheap so they could be awful. Will report back when I try them.

Then you all moan and bitch about customers buying cheap fittings from Screwfix that you have to fit.........

I tried compatible ones once.. Out of three cartridges two ended up in the bin pretty sharpish as they snagged up when trying to use them. That was for a brother P Touch.

Compatible off Amazon can get a pack of either 4 or 5 for the price of 1 genuine from the wholesaler with no problems.

Hmm, there seems to be mixed results re compatibles, try both and make a decision for yourself from there.

Lol

Much easier to come on here and to post a thread up thus making the decision even more confusing........

Compatables i guess can be hit and miss... Once got some that the backing was a right barse to peel off!
