Here at John’s Tech Blog we live in the real world and are practical users of tech. You may read a lot of label maker reviews but nobody ever points that out. So if your batteries die you’ll have to go through 2 charge cycles before you can use your device. Also while I use rechargeable batteries in almost everything and I own several chargers I have yet to own a charger that can charge 6 AA batteries at once. While the Dymo XTL 300 has a rechargeable Lithium (LiPo) battery ONLY, most of the competitors devices can also take 6 AA batteries or more. Why buy an expensive tool and then just toss it in a closet or toolbox where it is bound to get all beat and scratched up?Īgain, AC adapters and rechargeable batteries are a MUST for label makers. Mine should be coming in the mail sometime today. So here’s a stock photo of the XTL 300 kit. Label makers are only fun and useful if you have a variety of materials. I was a little hesitant at first but I placed the order and in a couple minutes I got an email from the company saying one of the tapes I bought was not compatible with the XTL 300 but was with the XTL 500, and did I know that and what did I want to do?ĮXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE ALERT!!!! Great price, and helpful! Do not hesitate to buy from īut here again with the XTL printers from Dymo we have a condition where a few extra features that I deem necessary pushes you into the $250 range and that is without consumables. Also that $235 price is WAY lower than anyone else at the moment. Less than $200 for the printer and $235 for the kit. I opted for a 300 and I bought it from LabelCity.

To meet the requirements of my list you have got to get a Dymo XTL series printer. More for the kit with battery and carrying case and AC adapter. Bar none.īut you’ll pay dearly for it at around $290 just for the label maker. Why buy an expensive label maker if it falls short of what you want to accomplish? As I write this the Epson LW-PX900 is still the baddest label maker on the planet. Adequate, yes, but it just doesn’t go all the way. With Brother and Dymo you get White shrink tube and that’s it I believe.
#DYMO LABEL MAKER CHARGER PROFESSIONAL#
As an electronics guy, having red and black for positive and negative puts a fine professional touch on some projects. Epson printers have various colors of shrink tubing such as black, white, yellow, and red. “Īnd just because a label maker has the ability to do heat shrink tubing, that doesn’t mean you may get many refill options. “It is so disappointing that there seems to be a $150 gap or so to get a couple extra features. However if you are a casual home user and will never need to label wires then the LabelManager 420P may be EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.
3/4 inch is way fine for most tasks but just not big enough to cut the mustard with large tasks. Also it only cuts 3/4 inch maximum width labels too.
#DYMO LABEL MAKER CHARGER SOFTWARE#
The Dymo LabelManager 420P at the really decent price of less than $100 hooks to software but isn’t compatible with heat shrink tubing. The Dymo Rhino models (4200 $60, and the 5200 $125, for the printers only, not the kits) are close but the maximum size label you can use is 3/4 inch wide, nor do they hook to software. Those printers are mostly less than $100. So many printers exclude heat shrink, hooking to a PC, and 1 inch wide tapes. It is so disappointing that there seems to be a $150 gap or so to get a couple extra features. Dymo has some models that come SO CLOSE that are a lot cheaper. To get the items in my list in a Dymo printer costs about $250 by jumping into the XTL line of printers. Yeah, it was a little more hassle but batteries are expensive, recharging takes time, and a label maker is something I may not use for long periods of time and I might get some battery leakage or corrosion. I would just plug it into the wall and use it.
To be honest with the first label maker I owned, a K-Sun 2001XLB I never put batteries in it. If you are willing to drop the requirement for a rechargeable battery, everything else on my list is available in the Brother PT-D600 making it a heck of a bargain at about $79.99 most places.
