The Brother TZe-R231 is an original label tape for P-touch label printers, specifically designed for use with textile tape. It features a label colour of black on white and is manufactured in the TZe tape type, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Brother printers. The tape is printed using thermal transfer (thermal transfer printing), a technology that delivers clear, durable, and professional-looking labelling. The product colour is black, referring to the outer packaging and the tape cassette housing.

Applications

The textile tape TZe-R231 is particularly suitable for applications requiring robust, wash-resistant labelling. It is commonly used for marking textiles, clothing, bags, or other fabric products, as it adheres well to fabric surfaces and remains intact even after washing cycles. Additionally, it can be used for creative projects such as gift decoration, cards, or ornaments, where a personal touch or decorative effect is desired.

Features and Specifications in Detail

The tape has a width of 1.2 cm (12 mm) and a length of 4 m, providing sufficient material for multiple labelling tasks. The packaging is a box that securely stores the tape and protects it from damage. The cassette is designed for easy insertion into compatible Brother printers. The print quality is sharp, achieved through thermal transfer technology, which ensures high resolution and accurate colour reproduction.

Technology Explained Simply

The thermal transfer (thermal transfer) process works by using a heated print roller in the printer to transfer ink from the tape surface onto the label material. In this case, the material is textile tape, specifically developed for adhesion to fabric surfaces. The black ink on a white background provides high contrast, improving readability even in low light conditions. The tape length of 4 m allows for the creation of multiple labels without refilling.

Compatibility and Accessories

The TZe-R231 is compatible with a wide range of Brother printers, including models such as PT-1000, PT-1080, PT-1750, PT-2470, PT-2730VP, PT-7500VP, PT-9500PC, PT-D200VP, PT-E100VP, PT-H300, PT-P750W, PT-P950NW, PT-D800W, PT-D400, PT-D450VP, PT-D600VP, and PT-E110VP. Compatibility can be identified by the TZe logo on the cassette lid packaging. This is original accessory equipment from Brother, developed for optimal performance and longevity of the printers.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by simply inserting the cassette into the printer, ensuring the label side is facing up and the tape exit is oriented forward. Most Brother printers automatically detect the tape format and print settings. Manual adjustment of tape width is generally not required, as the printers detect the tape width via sensors.

Operational Advantages

The textile tape TZe-R231 offers high resistance to abrasion, moisture, and washing cycles, making it especially suitable for use in the textile industry or household applications. The clear, sharp print quality ensures professional results. Using original accessories guarantees optimal print performance and extends the printer’s lifespan, as the materials are specifically matched to the printer’s mechanics. The tape length of 4 m enables efficient use without frequent reloading.

The product is manufactured in China and can be stored for up to five years without affecting print quality. The packaging is a box that protects the tape from dust and mechanical damage. Delivery is in individual packaging with one piece per pack.

Note: Batteries are not included in the delivery scope.
