DYMO Label Manager 450. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have 2, one at work, one for home, I use mine daily. Mechanically and software-wise, it just works well and does everything I need. I don't use any of the integrated MS Office software tools, but I haven't needed them. I never use it to manually type a label, always hooked to the PC.
I have a Brother Label Thing and I just hate trying to format and type on the little keyboard, I get 1 usable label for every 3 I print. The PC interface is a must...
I set the default size in the software to 3.5" and every project, piece of reference material, etc. gets a folder with a nice label. It's on my home network so the wife an I both use ours to label everything.
It's really helped me keep up with implementing GTD, David Allen's right, a nice label makes everything work better. And having an always on, always ready printer available from any PC in the house means I don't have a good reason not to just create the labels and folders as needed, no waiting... Label, folder, file, done!
It makes me happy.

DYMO Label Manager LM260P label Printer, Black /Gray (1754490) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using a label machine since we opened our store three years ago. My label machine of choice back then was the Brother PT-1950 P-touch PC-Ready Labeler for Small Workgroups.
I was grateful to check out the Dymo Label Machine because there were some serious problems with my older machine. Here are the features I really like in the Dymo.
1) Rechargeable batteries included. No need to worry about the batteries, just plug in and keep charged, then when you are ready to go, grab the label machine and take it with you.
2) "Short" ends on the labels. The Brother left over an inch on either side of the labels, and wasted about 50% of the labels I made. Given the cost of the labels, this is a feature that is truly helpful.
3) The ability to easily save the label for re-use later.
4) The "sizing" feature on the Dymo. It is possible to designate a length of label, then ask the Dymo to print the label to that size. This is particularly nice for putting labels on Items I have canned.
5) The "fancy" outline capability on the labels (again, a nice feature for canned goods I enter in the fair). Nice counts.
6) The easy capability of making 2-line labels.
7) The ability to add symbols (Like $ % @) makes it very functional for a store or business.
8) The labels do come in clear, making the mirror image feature (a nice addition) practical for putting the label on the inside of a window or other glass and have it come through in the correct directions.
A couple of areas that disappointed me - small, but I wanted to point them out.
A) You cannot use the Dymo Label Manager while it is plugged in. The adapter it uses is intended ONLY for charging the label machine. So you really DO need to keep those batteries charged for when you are using it.
B) It will take me awhile to get used to the Alphabetic keyboard ...
C) The Brother PT had an "automatic cut" feature, this one must be manually cut by pushing the button hard enough to clip through the label.
* Note - the video is a bit blurry, but I wanted to post it anyway so that you could see some of the features. It's a VERY handy machine!
