1st, I wanted to thank you for sharing this deal and it is a deal. I had been purchasing from PTouchDirect and I thought they were the best prices. But your source, ECOM OFFICE SUPPLIES, is over $1 cheaper per tape.
I use TZ tape. When I read that you purchased TZ Industrial I became curious. I called this morning to get an explanation on the diff between the two and was told that, essentially, the industrial has more adhesive and therefore more "stay" power. Since my TZ tapes have held for 3-4 years already, I think I will stick w/ that. TZ industrial is about $2 higher per cartridge. I do spray with clear spray paint so that may have helped them to survive the outdoors so well. If one bought the TZ industrial, one probably wouldn't have to spend time/money using the lacquer. So I think it is 6 of one/ 1/2 doz of another.
No label has ever survived my pooches pulling them out, chewing them and tossing them wherever, once they tired of them. They are not as bad as they used to be, but I sitll find a chewed up label here and there.
ECOM also carries printer ink cartridges, which as you all know, are expensive. The one I use, HP 60 was unfortunately not competitively priced, but others were a really good deal so ck them out for that also.
Again, thanks for helping us save money.
