How to use

Install the tape cartridge into a compatible Brother label printer according to the printer's user guide, making sure the tape aligns correctly in the feed path. Design labels using the printer's software or built-in editor, select the appropriate width (3.6 cm) and print settings for contrast on a silver background, then print and apply labels to a clean, dry surface. For best adhesion, press firmly across the label to ensure full contact with the substrate.

Recommendations

For optimal durability, apply labels to surfaces that are free of dust, oil and moisture. When labeling curved or textured surfaces, test a small area first to confirm adhesion. Avoid prolonged exposure of printed labels to direct sunlight when high UV resistance is required; consider darker text and higher contrast settings for maximum legibility on the silver background.
