Others have already noted the difference between TZ and M tapes; the TZ
tapes are also supposed to be 'better' in that they are laminated, while
the M tapes are not and may decay more quickly.
However, the problem I have is that the "better" label maker (the one
that takes TZ tapes) is not nearly as easy to use as the "cheaper" one,
the M-compatible P-touch. I knew that I didn't want a bunch of useless
features, so I bought the cheapest TZ-compatible P-touch I could find,
the 1290, but it is about twice as hard to get anything done with it as
the bottom-of-the-line $19.95 P-Touch that takes M tapes.
Anyone got a solution for *that* particular problem? Should I get a
better TZ-compatible labeler?
