Label tape Brother TZe-261 black on white 36 mm – compatible with Brother P-touch label printers

Brother TZe-261 black on white 36 mm compatible label tape is a laminated thermal-transfer tape designed for use in Brother P-touch label printers. The 36 mm width provides a wide printing area suitable for clear text, barcodes and simple graphics. Laminated construction offers resistance to water, abrasion and fading, making the tape appropriate for both indoor and moderately exposed environments. The cartridge is easy to install and replace in compatible Brother P-touch models, enabling quick label production for office, industrial and home applications.

Advantages

The laminated film and protective coating deliver long-lasting legibility and resistance to moisture and surface wear without affecting print clarity. A 36 mm width allows for larger fonts and multiple lines of text, improving readability on shelves, cables and equipment. The black-on-white contrast ensures high optical density for scans and visual inspection. Compatibility with Brother P-touch printers simplifies cartridge handling and reduces downtime during label changes.

How to use

Turn off the Brother P-touch printer before installing the cartridge, then open the cartridge compartment and insert the tape cassette according to the printer’s alignment guides. Close the compartment and power on the printer. Use the printer’s software or built-in keyboard to design labels, selecting suitable font size and orientation for the 36 mm width. After printing, peel off the backing and apply the label to a clean, dry surface for best adhesion. Replace the cartridge when tape runs out.

Usage recommendations

For optimal durability, apply labels to surfaces cleaned of dust, oil and moisture. Avoid placing labels on curved surfaces with extreme bends; for cable ties and small-diameter wires, test adhesion first. Use darker, larger fonts and adequate margins when printing barcodes or multi-line content to ensure readability and scan reliability.
