How to choose the right cartridge for Brother PT-1880

To pick the best ink for Brother PT-1880 (tape cartridge), focus on three things: width, surface, and environment.

• Width: 6–9 mm for small items and cables; 12 mm for general use; 18–24 mm for shelves, boxes and long descriptions.
• Material type: choose Laminated Tapes when labels must withstand frequent handling; choose Flexi Tapes for rounded objects; choose Heat Shrink Tubes for electrical and network cables.
• Colour and readability: black on white is the universal standard; colour tapes help with quick grouping and visual management.

Common PT-1880 user issues—and how the right tape helps

Many problems blamed on the label maker are actually caused by a mismatched or low-quality tape. With properly selected cartridges (OEM or our proven compatible options), you can avoid the most frequent issues:

• Labels peeling off: use the correct tape type for the surface and ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
• Text not sharp enough: choose high-contrast combinations (e.g., black on white/yellow) and replace old cartridges stored in heat or dust.
• Wrong width: the PT-1880 supports multiple widths—check whether you need 6, 9, 12, 18 or 24 mm before ordering.
• Cable marking frustration: switch from standard ribbon to Flexi Tape or Heat Shrink Tube for a secure, professional finish.
