Just tried this and it's a nightmare. I'm calling bullshit on the "you can fix them easily" claim. My advice: Don't waste your time fiddling with the damned thing, take it back to the retailer and demand a replacement or refund. Why should the consumer have to spend time and effort repairing a defective product?
We had this problem on our PT-P950NW, the blade was not cutting properly and causing the tape to bind while the spool motor was forcing the label forward, this caused a binding at the point where the black toner tape was passing the adhesive side of the white tape. I opened the printer and found label glue buildup on the blades, I Cleaned them up with 91% Isopropanol Alcohol and the problem went away.
These tapes are a rip off. I don't think I ever went through a whole roll with successful printing. Just getting a different label maker. This shouldn't constantly happen.
I have a PT-15 which uses the TC tape. Do you think I could remove the tape from a TZe cartridge and wind it in my existing TC cartridge? It's the same width
What I know they are all laminated tape, maybe the same thermal printing. You can try to take them apart. Analyze whether their structures are similar or not. You also can directly keep the labels and rewind on yout TC cartridge. Just have a try?
I agree completely. The originator of this video doesn't show the most important thing: taking the cartridge apart without breaking it or unraveling all the spools of material. The video shows this idiot just lightly squeezing the cartridge and it starts to separate. The video then jumps forward to the cartridge disassembled and laying neatly on the table. I guess Brother didn't pay this ass***** to actually show you how to repair their product.
