[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you @Influenster and @Dymo for the complimentary label maker to review. The product was easy to set up. Instructions was easy to follow how to set up and begin using. Printed out very nicely. Lettering did not smudge at all once printed. I did labels for my kitchen storage and the label maker was perfect. It works amazing and I Would highly recommend it to anyone who like to keep things nice and organized
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I felt like this did the job of being able to create custom labels. However, installation was pretty annoying. Downloading the software took a lot of time and putting the labels through so that the machine detected them and fed it through the slot was not as straightforward as it could’ve been. I appreciated that you could put text and photos on the labels and that the package came with 2 smaller rolls of labels already. Overall, it did the job, and once set up was done, it was easy to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the DYMO label/writer 550 a few days ago and set it up in my office. This thing was a breeze to set up right out of the box. No instructions needed. As someone who has a very stressful corporate job dealing with a bunch of wanks, this actually saves me a lot of time with printing tags for name and address instead of hand writing it in every envelope that has to go out! I seriously cannot believe I did not consider one of these sooner. I highly recommend this!
It simply wont work. Doesnt matter what i try, how many times i turn it off and on, NOTHING.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

These things are not designed to work well in a large environment. We have 100's of the 440 Turbo's on the network with print servers, and I was happy to see that the 550's had integrated NIC's to simplify the deployment. That is not the case. You have to use the Dymo connect software and directly usb connect the printer to a device to manage the IP settings, instead of easily being able to web manage the device remotely.

Hello.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
We would like to kindly inform you that we do not support Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or Remote Desktop Services as DYMO has not tested these setup methods, therefore we cannot guarantee that the software and devices will work properly.

we only use dymo due to shopify/stocky software only supporting the dymo printers - but as we now have to use dymo branded labels we have now implemented a completely new warehouse management system so we can get away from these cheap printers and their efforts to force us to use their genuine label stock - we will be throwing this product in the bin.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It is absolutely garbage. Replaced a Twin Turbo and nothing works. It's a complete waste of money

I am extremely disappointed with the label printer 550turbo as I was using the previous version (450) to print customised labels that are stable at -80 degrees. Now, since with this machine only official dymo labels can be used, I cannot use my crio labels any longer and the purchase of 550turbo was completely useless. I regret buying it and I am upset you cannot provide labels that are stable at low temperatures. Instead of being an upgrade, this new product was a complete downgrade. I wish I could have my money back. You could have at least allowed to let us use other kinds of labels if you cannot provide the ones we need. Very frustrating.
