Our verdict

A network-ready thermal label printer for an office that wants one label printer shared over Ethernet. The listing is sparse and partly inconsistent, so confirm label sizes and regional power before ordering.

Overview

A thermal print head forms each label in the DYMO LW 550 Turbo, so the printer runs on label stock with no ink cartridges. The Turbo model connects by USB or over an Ethernet network, letting it serve one desk or a shared office.

Ethernet support lets several people print labels from the network, and thermal printing removes ink from the routine. The listing gives little detail and several specs contradict each other, so check DYMO documentation for label compatibility and the power plug before buying.

Who it's for

Suited to a front desk, mailroom or small warehouse in Europe, the Middle East or Africa where labels print from networked computers. Buyers who need color output or fully documented specs should look at a better described listing.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Ethernet network connection built in
  • USB port for direct connection
  • Thermal printing, no ink cartridges
  • Light desktop unit
Cons
  • Black only, no color output
  • Listing specs are inconsistent
  • Supported label types not listed
  • Regional EMEA version, check the plug

Performance notes

Labels form where the heated print head darkens thermal stock, so print quality follows the condition of the head and the label roll. Throughput depends on label length and the connection used, and the network link lets several computers queue jobs to one printer.
