Practical tips and common PT-2030AD labeling issues When a label doesn’t look right, it’s usually not the printer—it's the cartridge choice or application conditions. Here’s what we recommend: - Labels peeling off: clean the surface (dust/grease is the enemy), choose laminated tapes for heavy handling, and avoid applying to rough/porous materials unless the tape is designed for it.
- Text fading or abrasion: use laminated tape for areas exposed to friction, moisture or cleaning agents.
- Wrapping around cables: pick Flexi Tape (TZe-FX) or go professional with HSe heat shrink tubes for long-term cable marking.
- Choosing the wrong width: for small items and tight spaces, go 6 mm; for most general labeling, 9–12 mm; for signage and visibility, 18–24 mm.
