Thermal transfer cartridges for Brother PT-1170 – what you get from the right tape

In this category you’ll find Cartridges Thermal Transfer created for the Brother PT-1170 label system: Ribbons, Heat Shrink Tubes, Flexi Tapes and Laminated Tapes. Each type is made for a slightly different job, but all of them focus on what matters most: legibility, adhesion and long-lasting results.

• Ribbons (TZe) – the most universal option for labels on binders, drawers, boxes, storage containers and signage.
• Laminated tapes – extra protection against abrasion, moisture and frequent touching; ideal for “high-traffic” labels.
• Flexi tapes (TZe-FX) – designed to wrap around curved surfaces such as cables, wires, pipes or tools.
• Heat shrink tubes (HSe) – professional cable identification; once heated, the tube shrinks and holds tight for a clean finish.

When you choose the right ink for Brother PT-1170 (in this case: label tape cartridge), you’re choosing fewer reprints, cleaner edges and labels that don’t peel off after a week.

We know that different customers have different priorities. That’s why we offer both Original OEM cartridges and carefully selected Compatible alternatives for Brother PT-1170.

Importantly: compatible cartridges from the DrTusz.pl offer are as good as the originals, giving you strong print quality and dependable adhesion at a budget-friendly price.

How to choose the right cartridge for Brother PT-1170

To pick the best thermal transfer cartridge for Brother PT-1170, we encourage you to focus on three things:

• Tape width – common options include 6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 18 mm and 24 mm. Wider tapes are more visible; narrower ones fit small items.
• Use case – for cables choose Flexi or Heat Shrink Tubes; for everyday labels choose standard Ribbons; for tough conditions choose Laminated Tapes.
• Colour and finish – transparent, white, yellow and stronger colour contrasts help readability and organisation.

If you often print labels for storage or archives, we recommend keeping at least one classic roll (e.g. TZe-231) plus one “special task” option (e.g. TZe-FX for cables). That way your ink for Brother PT-1170 is always ready for any project.

Original OEM vs compatible tapes – what’s the difference?

Original OEM Brother tapes are the manufacturer’s products, chosen by customers who want an OEM-only workflow. Compatible tapes are an alternative that delivers the same practical outcome: clear print, strong adhesion and dependable everyday use—while often reducing your running costs.

Many customers ask whether a compatible ink for Brother P-touch PT-1170 will print correctly and last. Our answer: yes—because we select compatible cartridges that are proven in daily use and designed to match the PT-1170 system. If you want help choosing between OEM and compatible, we’ll gladly advise based on your application.

Common user issues with PT-1170 labels – and how the right tape helps

• Labels peeling off – usually caused by choosing the wrong surface/tape type or applying to dusty/greasy surfaces. Laminated tapes and proper cleaning help a lot.
• Hard-to-read labels – selecting a wider tape (12–24 mm) or higher-contrast colour combination improves visibility.
• Cable labels slipping – for cables we recommend Flexi Tape or Heat Shrink Tube instead of standard ribbon.
• Too much wear in workshops – laminated solutions are better when labels are touched often or exposed to moisture.
