Epson LABELWORKS 218VTBWPX Tape Cartridge - Black on White Flexible and Durable Vinyl Industrial Label Maker Tape - 3/4" (18MM) Wide, 22.9 ft

This is a great tape and work flawlessly just like I would expect from Epson. I use some cheaper tapes in some circumstances but, if you need it to work no matter what pay the extra and get these tapes.

As described

A while ago I purchased a Panduit MP300 label printer and came to Amazon to purchase replacement label cartridges. So entering my search for Panduit labels I am presented with numerous cassettes, the majority are Epson, but there are no Panduit. Now they look exactly the same and are even the same length of tape.. Nowhere in the description does it say that the item is not compatible so I purchase a few of different sizes. A couple of days later at work I need to make some labels and use the new Epson ones.Comparing the sizes, I hold them up to each other, the sizes are the same even the cut out for the print head. The only difference, if you look at the pictures is the center spindle on the Panduit is offset and the Epson is vertical, this slight difference prevents the Epson loading into my machine.Last time I looked Amazon sells the Panduit MP300 printer but not the labels, so I think that a search on Amazon for Panduit labels instead of showing cassettes should return a "Not Availble" result.

I never will understand why all Epson label cartridges are not cut. Almost all label makers have split backing. Would make application 10x easier.

Labels do not have split backing, peeling the label from the backing is a real pain. Use a knife or you'll end up with wrinkled edges.

Who’s all crinkled up how to throw it away and dried up.

Labels lack the split backing for easy separation of the label from the backing as other Epson labels.

Let’s start by saying the tape itself is good. The vinyl has good adhesive and it is very flexible. It stays on the wire, and it comes out of the LabelMaker no problem. It prints well and overall is a good product.However, there is no split on the backing on the tape, so you constantly have to stop and curl the end to get a little separation so you can pull the backing off the tape. When you are doing a bunch of labels, this gets very tedious and time-consuming. I don’t know what the reasoning is, because there is split on the back of the more rigid tapes.I love the Epson printer much more than I love the Brady printer, but the Brady has tape with a little width difference between the backing and the tape and it’s easy to get the backing off the tape. So there is a way to facilitate a difference between the backing on the tape so it’s easier to remove. Epson just needs to do a little homework and come up with a solution.
