Our verdict

A quick, compact label printer for an office that prints address and file labels from a PC all day. The listing is sparse on supported label sizes and warranty, so confirm them first.

Overview

Office assistants and small mail rooms get a compact direct thermal label printer that runs off a USB link to a PC. Heat marks the label stock directly, so there is no ink or toner to buy.

High label speed suits batches of address and folder labels without waiting on each one. The listing gives few details beyond speed and resolution, so supported label sizes need checking with DYMO.

Who it's for

Receptionists, office managers and small sellers who print stacks of address labels from a computer get speed and a small footprint. People wanting to print from a phone or share over Wi-Fi need a networked model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast label output
  • No ink or toner to buy
  • Compact desk footprint
  • Simple USB hookup
Cons
  • USB is the only connection
  • Label size range not listed
  • Monochrome print only

Performance notes

Direct thermal printing darkens heat-sensitive labels, so speed depends on label length and output is dry the moment it exits. Labels can fade with heat and sunlight over time, which matters for anything stored long term.
