I just purchased the PT -E105. I am using it to label wires from 18 ga to 12 ga. It's ok, and I am going to try the extra adhesive labels and see if I can have better adhesion. I don't care for the flags. I usually just wrap them circular around the wire. Now, the heat shrink labels would be ideal, so, I'll have to research the different sizes available for the different mil size of the wire. The insulation properties determines the overall diameter of the wire irregardless of the gauge. Your video does a better deep dive than most about the Brothers labelers. To me, the critical point is the type of labels for the application. The labeler just prints the labels. Just choose the one that meets your requirements. The labels are the main enchilada.
One thing I want to know how to set cuts. For some weird reason my E550W does not cut after print but ask me to press the print button again when feed and cut twice . I'm wasting a LOTS of tape .
Thank you so much for this video. I'm looking for a 1" label maker, and really like the PT-D610BT. The video description said heat shrink labels will technically work with PT-D600. Do you know if the heat shrink will work with the newer PT-D610BT machine? Thanks for the help.
@@schlomoshekelstein908 That sucks. I’ve been using the excess to shrink interior solder joints. Have wasted probably a couple feet work of cutoffs by now.
@@Epochred it’s best to print large batches, especially if you’re doing a lot. I would make a list of what you want a label for and then do all the printing at once.

I see you did this 1 year ago. Is it possible that the Brother pt1890 has been added to your list for shrink wrap labels? Thanks
Sorry, these are not compatible with that label maker.
Brother says on the site PT-D400 AND 450 as well. Plus in thier book that came with it. Can you confirm?
No, I don't show the PTD400 or 450 is compatible...
What about PT-D610BT? Isn't it a replacement model for PT-D600?
Yes, that is the replacement for the PTD600.
@labelmaker are you saying the PT-D610BT also supports printing on heat shrink like the previous PT-D600 did?
do you have in black on yellow heat shrink labels and can the model pth110 work heat shrink
Yes we do but they cannot be used in the PTH110.
How do I get the words centered on the shrink tube. Right now I’ve been cutting off one end to shorten the label up. Wastes a lot of shrink tube
you can't lol

Look into chain-printing. It is a feature at least with the labels, so I suspect it could work with the tube.

Do the heat shrink labels work with the PT-P710BT? I have seen contradictory info.
Not technically on paper but I think you'll find it does.
Can they be removed?
Not easily, once you get a edge cut you can tear or slice off.
I came here to see use of printer. You gave a lecture on HSe. WTF?
