Brady M5C-1500-595-OR-BK M4C and M5C B-595 All-Weather Vinyl

Brady M4C and M5C B-595 cartridges are continuous all-weather vinyl label tape for Brady M4 and M5 series printers. The M4C cartridges (6.35 to 25.4mm wide) suit the BMP41, BMP51, BMP53, M410, M510 and M511, and the 38.1mm M5C-1500 cartridges for the BMP51, BMP53, M510 and M511. The range covers 41 cartridges: five widths and ten colour combinations. Clear tape comes as 6.1 m (20 ft) and the other colours as 7.6 m (25 ft).

B-595 is a vinyl with a high-tack permanent acrylic adhesive. It is 0.10mm thick, works from -40 to 82 °C in service and can be applied at temperatures down to -18 °C. The stock material has an average outdoor durability of 8 to 10 years, and the label is abrasion, chemical, oil and water resistant. The material meets BS 5609 and is RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU, with exemptions. In the codes, the number after M4C or M5C is the tape width in thousandths of an inch (500 is 0.5", 12.7mm). The two letters on the end give the tape colour and then the print colour, so M4C-500-595-WT-BK is black print on white tape and M4C-500-595-RD-WT is white print on red tape.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the width first. 6.35 and 12.7mm tape suits small cables, tubes and tight spaces, 19.05 and 25.4mm gives room for larger text, and 38.1mm needs an M5 series printer. Then choose the colour, given as print colour on tape colour. The M4C-250 (6.35mm) is available in black on white only. These products are supplied with ribbon. For pre-cut labels in set sizes see the B-595 die-cut vinyl labels. For a reflective tape see the B-584 retro-reflective label tape, and for polyester that handles solvents and heat see the B-422 polyester labels and tape.
