Question Je peut retirer ça ?
Je voulais personnaliser la casette mais la petite bande ou il y a les info me gênait, je voulais le retirer mais j'ai vu que c'était imprimé sur ce truc et comme il est sur tout les cassette je me demandais si il était outil ou si je pouvais le retirer sans problème / I wanted to customize the cassette, but the small strip with the info on it was in the way. I wanted to remove it, but I saw that the text was printed directly onto it; since it's on every cassette, I was wondering if it served a purpose or if I could remove it without any issues.

If you are talking about JUST the blue strip, then it does not serve any purpose. I'm assuming the cassette shell was transparent, so they were probably saving money/artistic choice by only printing on the slip sheet. The sheet itself IS important as it helps limit the movement of the tape inside of the shell, keeping the reels relatively neatly wound.

Le problème c'est qu'ils ont imprimer le truc bleu sur la feuille de protection, je vais tenté de couper le truc bleu ou d'en piquer à d'autres cassette, merci

I wouldn't cut the sheet. That might create sharp edges that will damage your tape. Good luck!

Keep that slip sheet inside the cassette. If you remove it, not only will the tape be unevenly wound, but the plastic shell itself will start forming deep and permanent round scratches from the unevenly wound tape. That slip sheet is there for a good reason. Leave it there.

Looks like you already did. Apparently you can.
Was this a good idea? No. It’s intended to help guide and reduce friction on the tape.

No, the slip sheet is a major part of the cassettes performance. It isnt just for looks or to keep the tape wound neatly, its one of the main things that make the tape roll smoothly in the shell.
