Cartridges for Brother PT-1170S - compatible and original OEM

Brother PT-1170S – a compact label maker for everyday organisation

The Brother PT-1170S (also searched as PT-1170S, PT 1170S, PT1170S and Brother P-touch) is a proven, easy-to-use thermal transfer label printer designed for quick, readable identification. It’s a great choice for home and small office use: folders, drawers, cables, shelves, school supplies, or storage boxes. To keep your labels sharp and durable, you simply need the right thermal transfer cartridge—in this category you’ll find both Original OEM and Compatible solutions.

Thermal Transfer cartridges for Brother PT-1170S: what you get with the right tape

Unlike classic “ink for printer Brother PT-1170S” or “toner for printer Brother PT-1170S” searches (PT-1170S doesn’t use ink or toner), this model works with Brother TZe-style label tapes and specialty media. The print is created by heat, and the cartridge/tape quality determines adhesion, legibility and resistance in real-life conditions.

In our offer you’ll find cartridges in several practical types:

• Ribbons / Standard label tapes (TZe) – the everyday choice for clear, long-lasting labels for files, shelves and household items.
• Laminated Tapes – extra protection for labels exposed to rubbing, moisture or frequent handling.
• Flexi Tapes (TZe-FX) – more flexible material, ideal for curved surfaces, cables and uneven items.
• Heat Shrink Tubes (HSe) – perfect for cable and wire marking; after shrinking, the label becomes neat and professional.

Popular widths in this category include 6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 18 mm and 24 mm, with typical lengths such as 8 m for tapes and 1.5 m for heat shrink tubes—so you can match the cartridge to the size of your project.

Compatible and Original OEM cartridges – wide choice, consistent results

We stock both Original OEM tape Brother cartridges and carefully selected Compatible tape for Brother PT-1170S. If you want the manufacturer’s solution, you can choose OEM classics such as Brother TZe-231 (12 mm, white) or Brother TZe-121 (9 mm, transparent). If you want great value without compromising quality, our compatible cartridges from DrTusz.pl deliver print durability and reliability that is as good as the originals—with an attractive price per metre.

To show how broad the range is, here are a few frequently chosen options from this category:

How to choose the right cartridge for Brother PT-1170S

When customers type “ink for Brother PT-1170S” or “toner for Brother PT-1170S”, they usually mean “the right cartridge for my P-touch”. Here’s a quick checklist we recommend:

• Choose the width: 6–9 mm for small items, 12 mm for universal use, 18–24 mm for cabinets, shelves, signage and large identifiers.
• Pick the colour combination: classic black-on-white (e.g., TZe-231), attention-grabbing yellow (e.g., TZe-631), or decorative metallics like TZe-831 (gold) and TZe-911 (silver).
• Match the surface: use Flexi tape for curved items, laminated tape for frequent handling, and heat shrink tube for wires.
• OEM vs Compatible: OEM is the manufacturer standard; compatible cartridges from DrTusz.pl provide the same practical print quality and durability for everyday work, often with better cost efficiency.

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

With the Brother PT-1170S, most “printing problems” come from using the wrong tape type for the job. Labels that peel off too quickly often need a better-suited surface choice (e.g., laminated tape for heavy use), while cable marking is best solved by switching from standard tape to HSe heat shrink tube. If labels are hard to read at a distance, choosing a wider tape (18–24 mm) and a higher-contrast colour combination can make a big difference.

And if you’re unsure which cartridge fits your needs—tell us what you label (shelves, folders, cables, tools) and what width you prefer, and we’ll help you pick the best option.
