The Brother I have that takes "M" tape has the problem you describe,
it's nearly impossible to get the backing to separate from the label.
I have another Brother that takes "TZ" tape, the backing of the tape of
slit down the middle lengthwise. Gently curling the tape by squeezing
it causes the middle to pop open, easy to grab.
You can guess which one sits on the shelf, and which one gets used a
lot.
The TZ tape unit I use is a P-Touch 1100QL, I don't think it's made
anymore but there are several similar curent models.
