So Disappointing

I am on my third DYMO labelWriter 450. For some reason, the left printer wraps the label around the roller and when you remove it, it damages the roller and the DYMO will not work. I have paid for three label makers over the last three years and am not ready to invest in a 4th! Of course I have had to toss the first two and now this one is headed for recycling bin. So very disappointed as it is wonderful when it works for only a year.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A simple question to whomever in charge of designing the new software: how do you configure different paper sizes on the twin outputs? do you really think it is easy for end users? Then, what is the value to have twin outputs? A great printer ruined by the user software.

I print labels every day and I usually don't have a problem. I've had issues with this product don't get me wrong but I can usually fix the issue. NOT TODAY. I've tried everything and I cannot get this darn thing to print a simple label!!! I guess it's time for a new one, from a different brand.

I have been using this label printer for years on a Win7 PC with NO issues at all. I actually own 3. After many years of straight forward usage I was left beyond dissapointed. First the postage printing vendor changed the rules and left me with $100 of useless postage supplies, but that was ok still because I could still print labels. However, when I was forced to upgrade to Windows 10 and saw the new version of the software the 5-star dropped to a No-Star. It used to integrate with an Outlook plug-in, and allowed for very simple easy to use, on-the-fly adjustments - worked like a charm. Now I have to log-in to O365 every time I want to pull-in a contact record. I cannot quickly batch select from my outlook contacts. Perfect product if you print one label many times, but otherwise I don't understand the decision to make this software useless. I am so annoyed with trying to print 20 labels that I gave up just to come write this review. I may as well go back to buying Avery label sheets...

Hello, this is Kasia from DYMO Consumer Care. Thank you for providing your feedback for the LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo printer and our software. We apologize our new software have not met your expectations. I would like to inform you that the DYMO Label Software in version compatible with Windows 10 is still available on our website to download for free. However, please note that DYMO Label Software v. 8.7.4 will not get any further updates, as our primary software now is DYMO Connect.

Since this only comes with USB, I have it set up on a generic print server. I can add the printer just fine in Windows, I can print from Microsoft Word but none of the Dymo Connect software works. It sees the printer (twice!), it claims to print but nothing works. Additionally, in every version of Dymo connect, the "change label size" button does nothing, so you are stuck with the generic tiny address label.

We use this printer to print veterinary prescription labels. One side won’t print at all and today the “good” side only prints the bottom 1/2 of the label…. How do you fix this issue with the thermal printer??
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, this is Vernie from DYMO Consumer Care. Thank you for providing us feedback for our LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo. I am very sorry that our product has not met your expectations. I would like to inform you that we cannot guarantee the performance of other-branded labels with our printers. I would recommend to conduct a thorough cleaning of your printer. Also, please double-check the power adapter of your LabelWriter 450 as it needs an output of 24V 1.75 in order to have enough power to print labels out correctly. Should you be using a third-party software to print labels, please make sure that the label settings match with the ones inserted inside the printer. We are happy to assist in resolving all issues with any of our products. If you require further assistance, please contact us on the following email address: dymosm@newellco.com and use the reference number 34157697.
I am not sure why some people are having issues with this label printer. WE love having the option of having two different sets of labels ready to go in the machine. My boss just ordered me to order 4 more machines.
