How to choose the right ribbon: width, length and your printing habits When picking a ribbon for Brother PT-85, we recommend checking three simple things: - Model compatibility: this page is dedicated to Brother PT-85 / Brother P-touch PT-85, so every product here is selected with that device in mind.
- Tape width: 9 mm is great for compact labels (files, small containers), while 12 mm gives you a bolder look for shelves, boxes and more visible signage.
- Tape length: if you print occasionally, 4 m can be enough; for frequent use, 8 m is a more cost-effective choice with fewer replacements.
