2 Pack Replacement for Brother HSe-211 5.8mm Heat Shrink Tube Black on White HSE211 HS211 Heat Shrink Label Tape for P-Touch PT-D600 E500 D210 D400 E550W 7600 D800W Labels Maker

These show up on my My pt-e560 as 18mm so I just set up a template on the app for 18mm tape and it works fine. Shrinks fine on 2.5mm and 1mm cable.

Good quality for decent price

👍

These heat shrink tapes arrived in an adhesive sealed plastic bag and inside it the three tapes were heat sealed into individual plastic bags. They look basically identical to the official cartridges from brother, except for the lack of Brother branding. Like every other tape of this type, they have a cardboard insert telling you how to prep them for use, simply turn the green gear counterclockwise a few turns to make the tape tight. After doing what it says on the cardboard insert, I put the tape into my label printer and printed a test piece with some test letters, numbers and symbols to test the quality of the printing. They came out flawlessly and look exactly like the OEM equivalent from Brother. I placed the test piece onto a bit of 4 mm PTFE tube to see if it’d shrink down as much as they claimed and it quickly shrunk tightly with a quick blast of heat from my heat gun. The text can become a little distorted when you’re fully shrinking any of these heat shrink label tapes depending on the typeface or font size but I haven’t run into any issues. I didn’t run into any compatibility issues whatsoever and as far as my Brother printer is concerned these are genuine tapes and read at the correct width. If you don't have a printer that natively supports heat shrink tube tapes you can trick it into using them with some clear tape and there are plenty of guides online about how to do that. No issues with the product itself, the only concern for me is that the price is significantly higher than what I personally pay for the exact same tapes directly from China. The current asking price of £13.51 works out to around £4.50, which is roughly double what I typically pay for these. Though, If you need them right now and aren’t willing to pay the brother tape price tax, this set is a convenient alternative and is well worth considering.

Not used much, but seem to work; and much cheaper than OEM. Can't comment on lifetime/fade etc as it's too soon, but certainly ok for now.

I haven't used this cartridge much but so far seems as good as a Brother tape. My printer recognises it's heat shrink whereas it does not recognise OEM cartridges. Excellent price too!!!

There is something not quite right about this tape as the printer does not recognise it as heat shrink and displays the message in the second photo. You can override this though and it does then print. The shrink ratio also doesn’t seem to be mentioned so I measured that and it’s 2:1, so not as versatile as the original 3:1 stuff from Brother. Other than that it seems OK.

Used on my aircraft to label wiring

I got a couple of sizes for different curcits I was running for a car project. these work great for labeling connectors.

This is really cool. Custom printed heat shrink. You can see in the pic the text size change and how small of a wire it can shrink down to. The heat shrink is small, so it won't fit over cables with large connectors (like RCA), but if you are making your own cables, you are labeling signal wires, or you need to label wires with small connectors, this does the job with a very nice professional looking touch!
