Its direct thermal print technology helps to stop waste by printing the correct number of labels, and also means there is no need for costly desktop printer ink and toner, or the extra work of printing sheet labels on a standard desktop printer.

Design
Small and compact the wireless DYMO LabelWriter label printer has dimensions of 26.9 x 16.3 x 14cm (width x depth x height) and weighs 1.58kg. Stylish and sleek, the DYMO LabelWriter is available in black or white, and has a silver or dark grey decorative band encircling where the controls are located on the middle.
Advantages
The dedicated DYMO wireless label printer has software which enables speedy design and printing of labels from a Mac or PC, or print directly from Outlook, Excel and Word by utilising the Microsoft Office plugins. The USB cable also makes it easy to connect if there is no Wi-Fi available. The pre-loaded label templates mean that customising labels is seamless and quick, and the DYMO wireless label software can create barcodes such as QR Codes, as well as print shipping labels and create name tags. The DYMO LabelWriter prints reasonably fast at a good print quality, and the cost of associated supplies is low, especially when compared to using a desktop printer for label creation.
Disadvantages
The DYMO wireless label printer could have an improved cutter and whilst it performs well, it would be even better if the software was more up-to-date and intuitive.
