Voltlog #237 - Can You Print Shrink Tube Labels With A Cheap Brother Printer?

welcome to a new vlog today we'll have just a short video talking about label printers and I'm gonna show you this heat-shrink type of label that you can get and it's pretty useful to label wiring and also we're going to talk about how the manufacturers of these label printers prevent you from using certain types of label cassettes in lower end printers in my case I am using a brother PTH 107 and this is the bottom of the range label printer it was practically the cheapest I could find around here and of course I'm not gonna pay the high price for genuine label cassettes from Brother when I can find these cheap alternatives on Aliexpress and I've purchased this 12 millimeter cassette tape from Aliexpress this works just fine and is much cheaper it was just 2 dollars and 64 cents delivered the original tape from Brother is 8.5 US dollars plus another 5 dollars in shipping here in Romania so it makes sense to get the clones from Aliexpress because they're much cheaper this video is sponsored by jl CPC be comm who recently upgraded their offer so you now get 24 hours turnaround time and you can choose any solder mask color for the same price of just two dollars prototyping is now faster and cheaper so it's definitely worth checking them out the only disadvantage i could find so far with the compatible tape from Aliexpress is the thin cover for the adhesive backing which is harder to peel away than the original but I can live with that I will also place some links in the description if you're interested in getting this cheaper tape from Aliexpress but then I found this heat-shrink label tape on Aliexpress and ordered it right away thinking how cool it would be to be able to label worried
