Recommend me some emboss label maker tape that doesn't suck

Like the title says...

Have an old Dimo Organizer 1610 maker that did BRILLIANTLY with the OG label tape that was left in it. Bought some replacement tape off Beezosville and it's just utter CRAP. The tape brand is "Weemay" which stands for "We May have made this as cheap as possible; GUESS WHAT? WE DID!". I mean, the box had several colors and several rolls of black, but ...

No or just crap adhesion, it gets caught in the channel causing letters to overlap, and you have to squeeze juuuuuust so to get it to both emboss the letter right and NOT get it stuck in the machine. Squeeze too light, NO letter. Squeeze too hard, and welp, it's stuck in there now.

thanks

You can still get Dymo-brand 3D label refills at Grainger, Target and a few other sources, just look for the Dymo brand name.  There are also occasional odd lots on eBay when somebody cleans out Grandma's closet.  I use a pink "Caption Maker" Dymo model myself...

Good to know! I must not have looked hard enough, because I got the impression Dymo was totally out of the embossed label game, so it's good to see it still going.

Here's a sample of the Weemay garabge—same pressure applied on each letter, save the spaces some of those were supposed to have in them

Does have a definite industrial-while-drinking-heavily look to it...

You should take out the Uttershitte and post a similar pic in an Amazon review, no words needed   It's meme quality, made me smile.

I bought legit Dymo labels on Amazon not too long ago.  Here is the Amazon link I got from the Dymo.com site:

Been eyeing a dymo m 1011 myself.
Embosses aluminum and stainless "tape"
I say "tape" because it doesn't have adhesive(that I've found)
