The original Brother and the hold-up rollers of "Trading-EU" are about the same thickness, with trouble-free printing and cutting performance even with already somewhat older cutter of the QL-550. There is no color-abrasion and no flashy shine when rubbing the sticker. The trading EU roles are supplied without bracket. In order to use, you have to keep an existing DK22205-holder and either cut / break is that you can the new role of the guide sleeve, or carry out the labels from outside the pressure. Since the original holder at the bottom has a hole-encoding, at which the printer recognizes the label type, it must also remain in the printer, when we apply the role of the outside. "Trading-EU" is now selling also extra blank-holders for repeated use with the label rolls. The roles via eBay purchased by me in trading EU have a poorer adhesive performance than the Brother originals and as the above PCFX / UCI roles. At shear movements such. B. on thicker Shipping envelopes sometimes solve the corners, to some plastic substrates (parcel tape) partly larger area. At the end of the roll increases this behavior; Here also the label layer sparked the end autonomously from the backing paper.
Conclusion: The Brother originals provide the best performance, but are dramatically more expensive than the replicas. Due to the different respective detailed shortcomings of these replicas are not a full replacement, with bad cutting behavior and abrasion as a co-factor in the PCFX / UCI goods and the reduced adhesive strength at the trading EU roles for me. The latter, I would give preference for less adhesive sensitive applications. The best / full power in all pillars of supplies but as I said only the very expensive original.
