Dymo Labelwriter 450 Key Features

After testing this product, we listed in this Dymo LabelWriter 450 Review the features that make this product a must-have for offices and businesses and some salient disadvantages that you may want to consider before going ahead and purchasing this product. 

(A) Printer Speed

The Dymo LabelWriter 450 lives up to its expectations and prints around 50 labels in a minute. The other 450 Series Printers print more. But if you are looking for a compact printer for address and product label applications for your small business or start-up, the Dymo LabelWriter 450 meets the basic requirements. 

(B) Printer Performance

The LabelWriter 450 produces clear images of up to 51 labels in a minute. However, each label only comes out in black prints and no other color. The media used is also thermal paper label, and the prints are heat-sensitive and fade over time. The label also turns black and covers up the prints when exposed to high heat. We recommend that you use non-thermal printers and labels if you plan on using labels that last long and are away from extreme temperatures. 

(C) Convenience

Printing is hassle-free with the Dymo LabelWriter 450, which can accommodate a roll of continuous media with a starter roll containing 130 labels and refill rolls containing more than 200 labels. You can enjoy uninterrupted mass printing of address labels for order fulfillment, product labels for branding and packaging, and barcode labels for inventory. The labels are self-adhesive for the easy print-peel-and stick, so you don’t need to cut half-sheets and tape them on surfaces. 

(D) Reasonable Cost

The price ranges from $240 to $400 for new models, and the price can go as low as around $100 for used and refurbished ones. The Dymo LabelWriter 450, in the long run, is a good investment because thermal printers do not need inks and toners. But the price of the LabelWriter 450 is relatively only a little lower than the other Dymo 450 Series printers. 

(E) Compact

The Dymo LabelWriter 450 is small enough to fit a regular desktop without hugging too much space, and it is also easily moveable due to its lightweight. Overall, it is a good entry-level label printer. 

(F) OS Compatibility

The Dymo LabelWriter 450 is compatible with WindowsⓇ (XP, Vista, and 7) and MacⓇ OS version 10.4 or later. You can also easily download and install the printer and its software and drivers into your system. 

(G) Software

With Dymo’s own label printing software, you can easily create customized labels from your desktop using Microsoft Word, Publisher, Excel and Outlook, and Google Contacts. You can also use Dymo Connect to create customized or label templates and manage all labels in your storage. However, customers reported issues with the Dymo label software, including a bug in the updated software version that resulted in printing problems.
