For example, one test run of a label consisting on a small graphic and an address, could only manage 15 labels per minute. Speed of printing is not too bad although I was unable to get close to the quoted 55 labels per minute. However you are limited to just black print as colour is not a feature of this device. The quality of label produced is of a fairly high standard with no smudging. There is also an address book feature for holding data is CSV format. Tools are available to add normal and artistic text, graphics, a time stamp and number counter. If none of the supplied templates are suitable then you can always design your own label layouts. Included among the supplied templates are those for address, shipping, CD/DVD, visitor badge or bar codes.

Various sizes of labels are available in the form of templates that help with the positioning of information. As you enter information for the label it will appear on the on-screen representation. The program's interface concentrates on the ease-of-use aspect and incorporates a WYSIWYG view of the label being produced.

However before attaching the label printer to the computer, it is necessary to install the provided software. Inserting the labels, which are the only consumables required as the printer uses thermal technology when printing, is straightforward.

Along with the label printer, the box contains a 3-pin power cord and AC adapter USB lead two rolls of labels a CD containing DYMO software for use with either Windows or Mac systems plus various documentation that include a Quick Start Guide.īoth the power and USB leads connect to the back of the printer where you will find cutaway channels to help keep the leads out of the way when positioning the printer on a flat surface. So what? some people might say, the Dymo printers don't use a lot of power, but with the price of electricity escalating, any extra savings are welcome.At this point I should mention that the Twin Turbo designation, and reason for the two form-feed controls, is that this label printer can simultaneously hold two different sizes of labels enabling you to print different information to each one. The power-save feature wasn't included in the LabelWriter 400 lineup, but was added to the 450 series. The new 450 series prints at 600x300 dpi which is offers considerably sharper print and is especially useful for printing small finer barcodes. The LabelWriter 450 series printed at 300x300 dpi which is actually quite sharp for printing text and basic graphics (including barcodes). Print resolution improved substantially with the new series. The new LabelWriter 450 Turbo prints almost 30% quicker - around 71 address labels per minute. In terms of speed, if we look at the popular Turbo models, the old LabelWriter 400 Turbo printed approx 55 address labels per minute (based on a 4-line address). The big differences between the older and newer series relate to (i) print speed, (ii) print resolution, and (iii) a power-save feature built into the new 450 series. The 400 series was extremely popular and there's are 100,000's of these still in use around the world, but the 450 series is a whole lot better.

The Dymo LabelWriter 400 Series was replaced by the Dymo LabelWriter 450 Series back in 2009, and the 'updates' were significant enough to ensure it's longevity - more than a decade later it is still a current model and market leader.
