Powerful yet simple label maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The DYMO LabelWriter 550 is a powerful yet simple to use label printer. It has a compact form factor and can handle printing on a wide number of sizes of labels. The LabelWriter 550 contains automatic label recognition. This means you will need to use OEM label rolls from DYMO with the LabelWriter. For my tasks, this is a bonus. I will always know how many labels I have left on a roll and the computer will always have the correct type when printing. I use mine with a Mac. Installation of the printer and software is easy and quick. I was printing labels after about 5 minutes of opening the box. The print quality of the labels is what you would expect of a DYMO product. It is clean and professional. I highly recommend the LabelWriter 550

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice price, like the fact it doesnt require its own ink, Runs quietly and quickly, software was easy to deal with, and the quality looks very good. Only drawback is that the labels can only hold 3 lines, wish it could be 4 or 5.

High-Quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: prints labels beautifully, customized labels, prints fast, high-quality
Cons: instructions are not clear, only comes with address labels, sticky residue on USB port, not many places to buy labels from, not for 4x6 labels
The Dymo LabelWriter 550 is nice! The instructions on how to setup and use this machine were not extremely straightforward. Once you unpack it, you’re supposed to go to the website and download the software for it. But the website that it initially tells you to go to, when you click on the “download user guides and software” link, it doesn’t make it very clear that you are picking the correct software because the LabelWriter 550 isn’t listed as one of the LabelWriter’s that it supports, but it is the “DYMO Connect v1.4.3” that you need. It took me several minutes to figure that out. Once you download the software, it is all on-screen prompts. This includes multiple restarts of my PC. Once the software is downloaded, the instructions walk you through connecting the power and connecting it to the computer. Something I found quite frustrating was the “stop” sticker attached to the USB port that connects to the computer. When you peel off the sticker it leaves an extremely sticky residue behind on the USB port and I really didn’t want to stick that adhesive into my USB port, so I spent about 5 minutes scrubbing the adhesive off with isopropyl alcohol.
This machine comes with one small roll of address labels and no other sizes of labels. I initially thought this was going to work for printing full shipping labels and I was really hoping to try that out but it only came with address labels and only one shipping label that was used for testing the machine. Which, after looking at the test label, I do think it will be too small for printing full-sized shipping labels.
Loading the labels was a bit confusing, the instructions left a lot to be desired. I felt like I was guessing and hoping for the best the whole time. Once the labels are loaded, the software automatically detects which labels you’re using and how many there are left. It also switches to that format for designing the label to print.
Once you have the labels loaded, that’s where the instructions stop. You’re pretty much on your own as far as figuring out how to use and customize your labels. You can add images, bar codes, clip art, lines, shapes, QR codes, counters, and borders. The software isn’t too difficult to navigate but it did take some time to get it all customized to my linking.
This machine prints very high-quality labels, it prints out fast, and then you just tear them off of the machine. They are extremely easy to peel off of the backing and the adhesive is very nice.
All in all, this is a really nice label maker. It’s a little confusing to set up, but it’s very easy to use and it works extremely well. I would absolutely recommend it!

Perfect Small footprint desktop label maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been in the market for a labelwriter for a few months now. Every time I looked it was either too costly for the replacement labels or it did not fit on the space I had designated it to go on my desk. This labelwriter hit both nails on the head. This labelwriter has a small footprint but still offers all the same features I needed from the larger ones. The labelwriter is quiet and functions effortlessly with my work laptop. This labelwriter saves me so much time as I am used to having to handwrite everything! Dymo is a brand I trust, I love even their basic handheld label makers I use that to label all my items in the pantry. The refills on the labels are also very reasonable I needed that as I will be using this labelwriter on a almost daily basis. I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a easy to use, pc friendly label writer. I would not recommend it for commercial or larger business use but this works great for my small business!
