I previously had a DYMO LetraTag XR label printer which now got a screen damage. With DYMO however the tapes do not last as long. You will after some time in use of dark brown (alone by normal humidity). And the Texilbänder fall from the first wash. Have a Brother machine then learned at my parents know. Since it was not so. But on the contrary. To test you have a normal drinking glass to add a name (normal laminated tape). That's now been around for min. 9 months plan and many transitions experienced in the dishwasher. It's still white and stuck the bomb. Brother Tapes for the P-Touch 1090 is available in many color combinations, in widths of 3.5mm, 6mm, 9mm and 12mm. And in lengths of 2m, 4m and 8m. A band in black and white in 12mmx4m laminated is always at the purchase. It must be remembered that a replacement band à 12mmx8m at best 10 costs (Hint: compare online). You also need 6 batteries à 1.5 V micro (AAA), which are not buying it. The device can be explained by the handling ago really nice by itself. It has the hang of it quickly. Conclusion: Highly recommended!
ADDENDUM: Sadly you can not change the length of the pre- and run-down. Thus, there is always something that you have to cut the tape and discard (more than the Dymo LetraTag XR). Give therefore a star trigger and I feature my previously 5 stars 4 stars now. Have been buying but never regret it!
