Just go to any hardware store and buy any drywall mesh tape on that width (2" - 50mm) and approximately same length (50yds to 60yds), virtually all of them have same internal diameter, therefore you should not have any problem with putting it into the dispenser.
do not bother with brandname! generic tape work as well and is half the price! tapeis glued only to tack to the wall, then mud is holding it.
If you have a hidden small area like a closet, you can use masking tape. Then compound over. I have done this many times with no problems.
Not sure if you are asking to replace tape that is pealing or working on new drywall. Mesh tape isn't the answer to good drywall seams. Paper tape is the strongest taping method. It still gives the best coverage but has to be applied correctly. The correct method of applying paper tape is placing the compound to the tape and then the tape to the wall. This way there are no dry areas under the tape. You can find more helpful info on taping at tapebuddy.net. The drywall taping manual has a lot of good info.
