The Brother TZE-S251 is a laminated extra-strong adhesive tape for labelling devices of the P-Touch series. It features a label colour black on white and is specifically developed for applications requiring high adhesion strength and durability. The tape is printed using thermal transfer technology, producing sharp, durable labels. The tape width is 2.4 cm (24 mm) and the tape length is 8 m, providing sufficient quantity for numerous labelling tasks. The cassette itself has a width of 28 mm, a depth of 68 mm, and a height of 100 mm, with a total weight of 64 g.
Applications
The TZE-S251 is particularly suitable for labelling rough, textured, or uneven surfaces, such as textured plastic, painted metal, or powder-coated components. The extra-strong adhesive force is on average three times higher than that of standard labelling tapes, ensuring secure adhesion even under demanding conditions. It is therefore ideal for industrial, technical, or logistics applications where labels must remain in place for extended periods.
Functions and Features in Detail
The tape is laminated, making it smudge-, weather-, and scratch-resistant. It withstands extreme environmental conditions, including mechanical abrasion, temperature fluctuations, chemicals, and UV light. The lamination ensures that the label remains clearly readable over a long period, even in outdoor or industrial environments. The spare part storage life is 5 years, indicating the material's durability under appropriate storage conditions.
Technology Explained Simply
The thermal transfer printing technology works by the device's print heads transferring ink onto the tape by locally heating it. The tape itself consists of a carrier material with a soluble ink layer that is transferred onto the surface by heat. The lamination protects the printed surface from external influences. The tape type designation TZ indicates compatibility with Brother devices that support the TZ system.
Compatibility and Accessories
The TZE-S251 is compatible with a wide range of Brother P-Touch models, including PT-1400, PT-1500, PT-1600, PT-2200, PT-2300, PT-2400, PT-2500PC, PT-2600, PT-2700, PT-330, PT-350, PT-3600, PT-520, PT-530, PT-540, PT-550, PT-580C, PT-7500, PT-9200DX, PT-9200PC, PT-9400, PT-9500PC, PT-9600, PT-9700PC, PT-9800PCN, PT-D600, PT-D600VP, PT-E500, PT-E550W, PT-H500LI, PT-P700, PT-P750W, PT-P750WVP. Compatibility can be identified by the TZ designation on the device or cassette. No special accessories are required, as the tape is inserted directly into the devices.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by inserting the cassette into the corresponding Brother device. The cassette is slid into the designated tray, ensuring that the TZ" or "TZe marking on the cassette matches the device. The devices automatically perform tape recognition to ensure correct settings. No additional tools or adjustments are required.
Operational Advantages
The TZE-S251 offers high adhesion strength on various surfaces, reducing the need for relabelling. The lamination ensures long-lasting label durability, even under harsh conditions. The combination of black on white ensures high readability. The tape length of 8 m enables efficient use, reducing the number of cassettes needed. The compatibility with numerous Brother models makes it a universally applicable consumable in technical and industrial work environments.
