Epson Genuine LABELWORKS 212BWPX PET (Polyester) Tape Cartridge - Black on White Standard Industrial Label Maker Tape - 1/2" (12MM) Wide, 30 ft

My husband and I both love our Epson label works label maker. The tape was one of the most important factors in selecting the Epson. I have been very pleased with the tape. It is easy to print on, the lettering is always clear, and it is easy to apply to objects. Most importantly, the tape is easy to remove, leaves no residue, and can be moved to other objects. knowing that I can move the tape reduces my concern about having to recreate a perfectly good label when I need it on another container. For some reason, earlier sets of the same tape did get twisted a couple of times within the label maker and became unusable. However, when I called the label maker's customer support at Epson, they promptly replaced the tape; it arrived within a couple days. The first time the tape got twisted, they replaced the label maker, itself and asked me to return the device so that they could find out what happened. I happily did so. The company staffs its help desk with people who have used the label maker and the tape extensively. They have a constructive, helpful attitude and show concern about the problem. Some customers have complained that the cost of the tape is high. I agree. However, Epson backs its tapes and label makers with lifetime warranties and hires knowledgeable people for customer support. Their services have been valuable to me. As a result, I am happy to recommend the tapes, the devices and the company, itself. Labelling objects in our home has become a favorite pastime partly due to the tape quality :). I recommend these tapes and the label maker highly.

The labels print ok, And the backing is split down the middle which makes it easier to remove. The labelmaker came with a different version of the label tape, and there is no split, so every label is an ordeal to get the backing off. The printing is crisp and I haven't seen any of the ink smear.

If you need this it's great, but the price definitely inspired one to use it sparingly. Print is clear and the tape is quite durable.

The package I received appeared to be in original packaging BUT the top of the outer plastic wrapping appeared to be re-sealed with plastic tape. Everything inside appeared to be in order except that a 212BWPX tape cartridge that was supposed to be included in the order was missing inside the case. A 212BWPX cartridge was shipped to me under separate cover, but it was on a different order that I had made. So I am missing a 212BWPX cartridge.
