This label tape is easy to use from start to finish. It's easy to install, prints perfectly and peels easily. I have used it mostly for office labeling and home organization. I like the fact that if I don't place it properly on the first try, I can peel it up and place it again and it sticks just as well as the labels that have never been moved. I haven't tried that on paper yet, but if any tape could do it...this would probably be the one. The size is nice, too. It's large enough to make very easy to read labels or 2-line labels. All in all, I'm satisfied.

I cringe to be a complainer, however, the refill tape I bought for my label maker jams repeatedly. We have rethreaded the tape numerous times, but it still jams. (The original tape that came with the machine worked perfectly!) Love the machine--hate the refill tape. I am considering buying a new labelmaker with a different kind of tape, but feel I will be wasting the $$ spent on the original one. Sorry, but you asked!!!

    Comments about Brother 1/2" Black on White 26.2Ft tape (M231):

    Cheap cardboard Photo boxes hold so many small things and with LABELS can be put up on rarely usable cabinet or pantry shelves for a quick retrieval when needed. I organize all my banking and desk supplies with LABELS in the boxes and stack them. It's all about easy reading of labels and no clutter.

            Comments about Brother 1/2" Black on White 26.2Ft tape (M231):

            I have had my P-Touch for 12 years, and use it for home organization, scrapbooking, labels for my children, grand-children and great-grandchildren.

            It has made my life so much easier. The items that have a place are there and readily recognizable.

            I have used it to label nearly all my electronics - cell phone, three printers, holiday items and storage bins, etc. I have also labeled the various connections which makes connections easy to locate.

            The P-Touch is sturdy, and is a very important part of my hobbies. I really appreciate it.

                The Brother PT1280 label maker only accepts tape upto 9mm (.35") so the Brother 1/2 Black on White tape will not work with it.

                A:

                If you need labels with extra strength adhesive, please consider the Brother Industrial TZ Tape. That series has double strength adhesive ideal for harsh environments, textured surfaces, and a variety of plastics. Those label tapes can only be used with Brother label makers that use the TZ series of tapes. Please follow this link to that series, http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesSearch?searchkey=Industrial+TZ+Tape&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&fromUrl=home

                I've never had an issue with it not sticking to itself when I overlap or when I put it on plastic containers. I've used this one kind for 3 years for work and never had an issue with it not performing. If you put it over font it shows through faintly though.
