Our verdict

A desk label printer for an office that sends label batches from a computer over USB and prints them quickly in black. The listing is thin and partly contradictory, so confirm label sizes and print method before ordering.

Overview

Mailroom and front office desks are where this DYMO LabelWriter belongs: it connects to a laptop or PC by USB and prints black text and graphics onto labels. Control on the unit is a push button, with the label content sent from the computer.

Speed is the case for this model, since the rated label rate suits long runs sent from a computer. Little else is spelled out, with print method and supported label sizes stated vaguely and no Mac support named.

Who it's for

Shipping desks and busy front offices that send label batches from a computer get the most from the fast output. People who label shelves away from a desk, or need colored labels, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast rated label output for batches
  • Simple USB link to a laptop or PC
  • Push button control on the printer
  • Black monochrome output, nothing to calibrate
Cons
  • Print technology not clearly stated
  • Black output only, no color labels
  • USB is the only listed connection
  • Listing specs conflict on speed and size

Performance notes

Output depends on the computer software sending each job over USB, so throughput on long batches also rides on the host machine. Resolution is fixed and monochrome, so small text and fine lines print in plain black at a single density. Label width is capped by the media limit, which narrows the label formats it can take.
