I have been looking for a label writer for quite some time, all the programs that write labels seem to come in a data base form. This is simple and quick to learn, also it’s versatility is great. If you are just looking to print various types of label. . . . this is the product.

As an IT manager we have several of these on people’s desks. It is a must have for many of them. Simple to use, easy to setup and configure, integrates with MS Office. I wold like to see it get it’s power from the USB port it is plugged into but not yet. Also, supplies are fairly expensive. Other than that is is really great.

I had a Brother labeler before this one, I decided to give dymo a try because I hate the wasted tape I get from every brother printer I had. Boy am I glad I did. This is one neat fast printer. The software is easy to understand and use. To be honest I am kicking myself for not buying this before. The brother is cheaper where I am but the Symo is worth every penny. I threw my Brother labelers in the trash maybe 15 minutes after my first Dymo print. I love these guys! Excellent print quality, excellent labels. impressive software. . . . in a word. . WOW.

Dymo has long provided highly functional label makers. The 450 continues in that tradition.
The pros far outweigh the cons. They include inkless printing, automatic connection to Outlook contacts, automatic zip code printing (only if you have the complete 9 digit zip code), a seemingly endless list of available label sizes and functions (including CD labels). Software installation and set up for the label writer was easy and efficient.
The con is one that has plagued Dymo for several generations of it’s label writers – it is unreasonably difficult to install new labels. (You eventually learn the secret of carefully aligning the labels at an angle so a “corner” is fed in first. ) For a product that otherwise performs so flawlessly, this annoyance should be addressed.

The Labelwriter 450 printer works great!! The Version 8 software has some design “improvements” which border on being bugs.
1 – If you open a file with an existing file name ending in a number and you perform a SAVE AS function the software truncates any numbers on the right hand side of the filename. So, if you are labeling parts and there happen to be numbers in your part numbering schema, BE CAREFUL that you don’t lose the numbers.
2 – The software no longer previews the label of a file selected in the file open menu.
3 – The software is bloated and takes a long time to load up.
