If you shop around you can get the cartridges for much cheaper than 10.49. I have the p-touch 750 and pay an average of around £3 per 12m cartridge.

any links, behibehi?
I picked up 2 of these today, and so far I have labelled 4 ds chargers, 5 mobile phone chargers, 4 mp3 player chargers..... I think I'm going to be here for a while0 -
Ebay usually sell the tapes cheap. I bought a load from Staples once when it was closing down for 10p each and sold them on ebay for around £3 a time.0

Can these labels be stitched to uniforms? How do you attach them to shoes and so on?
But the leaflet which came with printer, does indicate that there are textile tapes available - see here talks about 'iron on' not sure how that works though given that the printer prints by heating the tape to make the letters ?
Also this one
"Brother TZ-FA3 P-touch Labelling Tape - 12mm - Blue on White - Fabric Tape - Washable uo to 80°C (TZFA3) "
Of course they look pricey since its the Brother site
not sure about shoes though
I got one too, it was rude not to at that price, but did expect to get hit on the consumables, but £3 sounds ok, assuming they are not sample tapes too0 -

I 've searched around and haven't been able to see any for £3 but this is from Amazon at £6.91

and these for £6.65

I assume delivery is on top of this ... i also assume these are the right tapes ;-)

But no obvious way to open the sample grey cartridge to put that type of tape in - although TZ designation indicates it is the right(?) kind of tape
May require the use of a knife/brute force to open it
I think we need to source tapes in a cartridge, don't we ? of course if there is an easy way to open cart I'm sure it'll be cheaper
Don't like the prices but here are carts on sale
Edit : Carts on amazon here0 -
re - printing names on textiles/uniforms
They did have this, bit like the old john bull printing kits, you make up the message you want and stamp seems to have an ink pad in it + it claimed to work on textiles and the result is washable0 -
Picked up one of these at Lidl yesterday for £9.99, P-Touch 1000 model, similar to
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=46135&C=SEO&U=MLP
Needs 6 A batteries (suppplied)
Mine is Black with Red back, but that is only the outer case. Does anyone know a v cheap source for the TZ Tapes?

Why is it I have less time now I am retired then when I worked?0 -
Still looking. And the 5 metre tape that was supposed to be included (see front of packaging) wasn't. It was a heat-sealed blister pack, so couldn't have been removed.
Lidl will accept return. Might do that if I can't find tapes at a better price than Maplin.0
