Only works with a few select labels
on February 7, 2023
Posted by: Nate4554
from PA
This is on paper such a great printer, better than the 450 series in many great ways. On just hardware alone this is a 5/5 product.
Unfortunately, they made the decision to only allow Dymo brand labels.
This would be acceptable if they offered a broad range of labels for this device, but they only offer a limited selection--none of which work for our purposes. I would gladly void the warranty and use other labels, but DYMO insttalled RFID chips to ensure there is no way to use other labels on this device. This is a wonderful piece of tech now utterly useless for us.
A sad example of prioritizing profits over customers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

label issues
on March 24, 2023
Posted by: JWright
from IL
I am so unhappy that this printer only takes dymo labels. It's really ridiculous that you cannot use the variety of labels that are created and perfectly compatible. Definitely did not have the customer in mind and I will definitely be purchasing a different printer as soon.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!
on March 31, 2023
Posted by: sadbuyer45
I just got the 550, because the 450 was impossible to find used. I have only used the 450 and I understand why it was the superior model. I was trying to save some cost on office supplies, but this completely negates that as you can ONLY use Dymo paper. Not just that the printer will work ~best~ with Dymo paper, no no it will ONLY work if you have Dymo paper. So unless you have an unlimited budget.... I would not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't Buy It!
on April 5, 2023
Posted by: Ladybug Valley
from St Louis, MO
I got mine yesterday, and it's going back today! I've used a friend's 450, and I have 10 rolls of generic labels. I know it said I would have to use Dymo labels, but HP claims that about their toner and it's not true. I print too many price tags for that crap. I don't care how many labels are left and that nonsense! I care about it being cost effective, which it IS NOT.

Terrible Buisness
on May 2, 2023
Posted by: Doug D
from TX
I've use the Dymo SDK in our software to print labels to run our business for many years. We use many 450s and 450 turbo printers throughout our company. Since the 450s are discontinued, we bought a 550 to add a printer. The labels that we print are custom for our products and packaging. We have used them for years and the SDK supports the label length setting to support the custom labels. Now this printer won't accept our labels so we can't label our products or run our business without considerable unplanned cost and disruption to modify our software to use a different printer. I called support and they told me that there is no solution as they refuse to make custom labels. No Warning from Dymo, no solution.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Totally not recommended
Can only use their original label, pretending an ease of use but it only narrows your options. Close source spirit, still don't know why my boss chose to buy this ---Profanity---.
Go figure what label works with this exact printer, the website is a an amazing maze to a simple question.
Avoid at all cost.

DONT BUY THE 550 Dymo Printer!
on May 18, 2023
Posted by: Shadia
it's terrible that Dymo force us to buy only DYMO labels and not generic. I bought a box of Dymo labels and turns out they are not the new generation so they don't work. I had the 450 for years and worked fine and now this 550 is just giving me a hard time and making me waste my work time.
