Overview
Typing on the QWERTY keyboard and tapping the one-touch smart keys builds a label on the large LCD display. Thermal printing then puts black text on DYMO D1 tape, with no ink to buy.
A familiar keyboard layout and shortcut keys make quick work of labels for shelves, files and bins. The starter cassette lets you begin right away. Connectivity entries in the listing contradict each other, so do not count on app or Wi-Fi printing.
Who it's for
People who label often and prefer a real keyboard to a spinning dial. Home offices, workshops and classrooms all fit. Buyers who need confirmed computer or app printing should check with the maker.
Pros and cons
- QWERTY keyboard speeds typing
- One-touch smart keys for formatting
- Starter D1 cassette in the box
- Thermal print needs no ink
- Connectivity entries conflict in the listing
- Black print only on stated tapes
- Needs D1 tape for refills
Performance notes
Thermal printing heats the tape directly, which removes any cartridge of ink to dry out. The keyboard and display let you check text before printing, which saves tape. Print resolution and speed are stated in the listing, though the speed figure belongs to a different printer category.
