Why choose the genuine Brother TZe-CL4 cleaning cassette
Genuine Brother TZe-CL cleaning cassette: cleans the print head of the P-touch label maker in a few passes (about one hundred cleanings per cassette). Use when printing becomes faint or streaky.
Which width, which color?
The TZe-CL4 tape comes in 3 widths for this color combination: TZe-CL3 (12 mm), TZe-CL4 (18 mm), TZe-CL6 (36 mm). Choose the width for the legibility you need and the maximum tape width your label maker accepts (6 to 36 mm depending on the model).
Label makers compatible with the TZe-CL4
The TZe-CL4 is compatible with 40 Brother models (manufacturer list):
All P-touch label makers that accept TZe cassettes of this width are compatible; check the maximum tape width printed on your device.
Length and yield
About 100 cleanings per cassette; use as soon as printing fades.
Use
Open the label maker compartment, take up any slack in the ink ribbon, insert the cassette until it clicks and close; feed the tape once for the first cut. Apply the label to a clean, dry surface and smooth it down; use as per the device instructions. Store cassettes away from heat and direct light.
Use and tips
The TZe-CL4 (18 mm) suits shelving, archive boxes and everyday signage.
Store cassettes in their packaging, away from heat and sunlight; they do not dry out and keep for several years. For a durable label, apply it to a clean, dry, grease-free surface and smooth it down; wait 24 h before exposure to water or abrasion. The split backing of laminated TZe tapes makes the liner easy to remove. Genuine cassettes ensure a clean cut and format recognition by the label maker.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TZe-CL4 compatible with my Brother device?
Yes if it appears in the list above (PT-1750 to PT-P900W). If in doubt, compare the exact reference of your device.
What is the difference between laminated and non-laminated tape?
Laminated tape protects the text under a clear film: it resists water, friction and UV. Non-laminated tape suits indoor use at a lower cost.
Are TZe tapes suitable for outdoor use?
Yes for laminated tapes: they withstand rain, sun and temperatures from -80 to +150 °C. Clean and dry the surface before applying.
Is an old TZ tape the same as TZe?
Yes, TZe is the new name of TZ tapes; they are interchangeable on all P-touch label makers.
