The Brother TZE-S241 is an extra-strong adhesive label tape in format 18 mm width and 8 m length, specifically developed for professional labelling applications. It is used in thermal transfer technology and is compatible with a wide range of Brother P-Touch models, including PT-1300, PT-1400, PT-1500, PT-1600, PT-1700, PT-1800, PT-1830, PT-1880, PT-1900, PT-2030, PT-2100, PT-2200, PT-2300, PT-2400, PT-2500PC, PT-2600, PT-2700, PT-300, PT-310, PT-320, PT-330, PT-350, PT-3600, PT-4000, PT-520, PT-530, PT-540, PT-550, PT-580C, PT-7500, PT-7600, PT-9200DX, PT-9200PC, PT-9400, PT-9500PC, PT-9600, PT-9700PC, PT-9800PCN, PT-D400, PT-D400AD, PT-D400VP, PT-D450, PT-D600, PT-D600VP, PT-E300, PT-E500, PT-E550W, PT-H300, PT-H300LI, PT-H500LI, PT-P700, PT-P750W, PT-P750WVP, PT-P900W, PT-P950NW, ST-1150, ST-1150DX, ST-5. The label colour is black on white, with the tape cassette itself having a grey casing.
Applications
This label tape is suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including smooth, rough, textured, and coated surfaces. It is particularly well-suited for uneven or textured materials such as textured plastic, painted or powder-coated surfaces. The extra-strong adhesive strength is on average three times higher than standard TZe tapes, ensuring secure adhesion even on difficult substrates. The lamination provides high resistance to abrasion, moisture, chemicals, temperature fluctuations, and UV radiation. This makes the tape suitable for long-term outdoor use, where it remains weather- and scratch-resistant.
Functions and Features in Detail
The tape features an average 3-times higher adhesive strength on textured surfaces, making it ideal for permanent labelling. The lamination protects the print from dirt, water, scratches, and UV discoloration. The black print on white background offers high readability. The cassette is designed for thermal transfer technology, where the print head applies heat to the tape to transfer the ink onto the paper. The tape length of 8 m and width of 18 mm allow for the creation of many labels from a single roll.
Technology Explained Simply
The thermal transfer technology works by the labelling device’s print head selectively applying heat to the tape, transferring the black ink onto the white paper. The lamination protects the printed surface from external influences. The extra-strong adhesive ensures the label adheres securely even on rough or uneven surfaces. The UV resistance prevents discoloration or weathering of the label under sunlight. The heat and cold resistance enables use in environments with extreme temperatures.
Compatibility and Accessories
No accessories or additional materials are required – the cassette is inserted directly into the device. Compatibility includes both smaller portable models and stationary devices with higher print performance. The tape cassette is designed for use in professional environments such as workshops, warehouses, industrial plants, or construction sites.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by inserting the cassette into the labelling device, with the front side of the tape (white with black print) facing upwards. The cassette is pushed into the device until it clicks into place. Most Brother devices automatically detect the tape format. No additional settings or tools are required.
Operational Advantages
The tape offers high durability and resistance under harsh conditions. The extra-strong adhesive strength ensures secure adhesion even on difficult surfaces. The lamination protects the label from dirt, water, scratches, and UV radiation. The high readability due to black print on white background facilitates easy identification. Compatibility with numerous Brother models increases flexibility in use. The 5-year shelf life for spare parts allows for long-term planning and storage without quality loss.
