Overview

A heated print head darkens special thermal labels directly, so the printer never needs ink or toner. The DYMO LabelWriter connects over USB and prints address, shipping, file folder and postage labels from a PC or Mac.

Quick, inkless printing makes it efficient for anyone printing labels every day. It works from common office programs through the included software. The software comes on CD, so newer computers may need a driver download.

Who it's for

Home sellers, front desks and mailrooms that label envelopes and packages will save time. Anyone needing color or full sheet printing needs a regular printer.

  • Fast label output
  • Compact desktop footprint
  • Works with PC and Mac
Cons
  • Thermal labels only

Performance notes

Print quality depends on the thermal labels, since heat darkens the coating rather than laying down ink. Genuine sized rolls feed straight and avoid jams. Labels can fade with long sun or heat exposure.
