DYMOLabelWriter 4XL Shipping Label Printer, Prints 4x6 Extra Large Shipping Labels

I run an online business and was tired of buying expensive labels AND ink AND changing out the paper in my printer. This little thing solved all those problems and is way faster! I highly recommend for anybody that ships packages on a regular basis. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this for my business and it works wonderful . Very easy set up and very user friendly. It had definitely saved me time and money.

If you need a fast reliable printer to do multiple shipping labels this is the one. Aftermarket labels are available at a fraction of the price that Dymo charges, but for the money this is a great deal.

THE most dependable. Worth the xtra $$. I had a $150 one before which did work just fine until it didn't; then I couldn't get it to work with my new computer. Hooked up the DYMO and bam, I was back in business!!! That was a year ago.

Printing on 4x6 labels was something my regular ink jet printer was assigned to do until I got the 4XL...The labels from the ink jet were not waterproof, and it was always a hassle loading the label sheets. Now, the 4XL is assigned to all the USPS, DHL, UPS printing tasks and it does an amazing job...the labels are waterproof, highly durable, and the printing is hi-res quality.

I'm writing this review because I suspect that some of the negative reviews are user errors. It took a little bit to get this little guy set up to work with UPS Worldship and our other shipping programs but it worked fantastic while we used it all the time. We ship a LOT of items during the week and this thing kept up. Only had a few little issues here and there, but in the 4 years that we used it, it was amazing. In fact we still have it. The reason that we no longer use this is because we combined shipping software and ended up getting a printer that we could use the free supplies from UPS. A little more cost effective. But, you CAN use generic labels in this printer. The brand ones are silly expensive compared to the "brand" ones and work just as good. (Added that to counteract the reviews about the cost of the labels). I still have it and we will be using it now to print our barcodes since we just integrated an inventory system into our business complete with barcodes. That is how much I liked the product... I kept it rather than selling it or trashing it. It will come in handy and save money! If you have problems with yours, I suggest getting some help with it. Ours never jammed. Never needed anything but some light maintenance once a year (and it never demanded it, we just do it because that is what we do)! Great little machine. Fast enough also.

Like another reviewer my machine will spit out a bunch of blank labels before or after printing the label. Yes, I've made sure it's loaded properly, yes it's all the way to the left. This started happening when I got through 75% of my first roll of labels. Now I guess I have to buy the cleaning cards (which should come with the machine in my opinion) to see if that helps.

This labelwriter, as all Dymo products, has failed me exactly at the moment I just needed a product that does what it is supposed to. I keep buying Dymo products, and they keep failing, and I keep buying them thinking this is a reputable and respectable company whose products must be under constant improvement and development. I seem to be wrong.

At first this printer was working well, with occasional minor issues. In the past 1-2 years though, every single time I change the roll of labels they will not line up correctly and many labels are wasted in the tedious process of getting things right (at the moment I cannot get anything to print completely on the label at all). Things are cut off on one side and/or the top or bottom, the machine just won't cooperate despite turning it off/on, manually realigning everything, etc. Very frustrating and time consuming, and I would definitely go with another brand from now on. This was an expensive printer and I expected a lot more just 2-3 years from the time of purchase.

I liked it at first. But suddenly it started malfunctioning. It will print a label and then feed out 10 blank labels after that, and then you have to roll up the labels again so you don't waste them. It also prints half labels, and constantly says its out of paper when it's not. This thing is an absolute piece of garbage and I'm replacing it with a NON Dymo brand.
