Brother PT-9700PC Label Tape

Tape Length and Replacement Planning

Standard genuine Brother TZe tape cassettes are supplied in continuous 8-metre lengths, allowing you to print custom-length labels using your printer's built-in automatic cutter. Specialty formats differ in roll length according to their application; for instance, non-laminated TZe-N series cassettes provide 3 metres of tape, while STe stencil cassettes offer 3 metres of thermal mask material for etching. Multi-pack bundles containing two or three cassettes are also available to help maintain consistent tape inventory for high-volume labelling tasks.

Selecting the Right TZe Tape Format and Width

The Brother PT-9700PC supports seven different tape widths: 3.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, 24mm, and 36mm. Choosing the appropriate tape format depends on your workspace application and environmental conditions:

• Standard Laminated TZe Tape: Features a protective top layer resistant to water, chemical exposure, abrasion, and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for both indoor filing and outdoor equipment marking.
• Strong Adhesive Tape (TZe-S): Formulated with enhanced adhesive strength to ensure reliable bonding on rough, textured, or powder-coated surfaces.
• Flexible ID Tape (TZe-FX): Engineered for wrapping around electrical cables, wires, and curved tubing without flagging or peeling over time.
• Security Tape (TZe-SE): Leaves a checkerboard tamper-evident pattern if removed, making it ideal for asset management and security seals.
• STe Stencil Tape: A specialized non-adhesive thermal mask tape used in combination with electrolytic etching fluid to mark metal tools and components permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tape widths fit the Brother PT-9700PC?

The Brother PT-9700PC accepts genuine Brother TZe tape cassettes and STe stencil tapes in widths from 3.5mm up to 36mm, including 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, 24mm, and 36mm sizes.

What is the difference between standard TZe tape and TZe-S strong adhesive tape?

Standard TZe tape uses standard permanent adhesive suitable for smooth, flat surfaces. TZe-S strong adhesive tape uses a modified adhesive formulation designed to grip uneven, textured, or powder-coated industrial materials securely.

Can the Brother PT-9700PC print STe stencil tapes?

Yes, the PT-9700PC supports Brother STe stencil tapes (such as STe-141 and STe-151), which create a thermal mask used for direct electrochemical etching onto metal components.
