Laminated TZe tape is why Brother labels survive on a freezer or outdoors where unlaminated ones rub off -- the printed layer is sandwiched between two films rather than sitting on the surface.
Full details →Who the Moleskine Classic Leather Executive Notebook Hard Cover is for
Buy it if: Ballpoint and pencil writers who want the build quality and the extras.
Avoid it if: Fountain pen users -- buy the 90 GSM Rhodia instead, which also costs less.
Who the Brother P-touch PTH110 Easy Portable Label Maker is for
Buy it if: Anyone labelling things that get handled, wet or sunlit, where unlaminated tape fails.
Avoid it if: Anyone making a handful of labels -- the tape economics do not justify the machine.
