DYMO LabelWriter 450 Turbo Thermal Label Printer (1752265)

I use this DYMO 450 Turbo for printing out Amazon FBA labels. I’m using Windows 10 and it works flawlessly with this printer.

Fast! By the time I clicked the print button it is already done printing.

Easy to feed new labels. Just put it on the spool and press the feed advance button and your done!

Crystal Clear Printing! I’m shocked at the clarity of print. No smudges or bleed.

Bottom Line: Solid workhorse for my FBA label needs.

Please feel free to ask any questions about my review in the comment section and I will try to quickly respond. I hope my review has been supportive, enlightening, or most importantly helpful to you. My goal is to continue to be helpful to other Amazon shoppers in making informed purchasing decisions in the sea of choices available.

Thank you for taking the time and reading my review!

So far I really like this printer. The labels print cleanly and without any “smearing”. I debated between this printer and the Dymo 4XL and chose to go with this one for cost savings. The only benefit, for me, to having the 4XL over this printer would be for the ease of printing the standard-size USPS labels. However, this printer *CAN* print USPS labels as well. The USPS postage labels that would print from this machine require labels in size 2-5/16″ x 7-1/2″. If you just google search “How to print USPS postage labels in size 2-5/16 x 7-1/2”, you should be able to find simple instructions for almost any postage generation platform. Also, if you print USPS postage from this machine and find that it isn’t scanning at the post office, do not fret! If you do a quick google search for “USPS postage barcode from Dymo 450 not scanning at post office”, you will find blogs with instructions on how to adjust the print settings (needs to be set specifically at “best” and routing to the Dymo). Hope this helps someone!
**Note: I removed 1 star because this item arrived with no outer shipping box. It arrived in its original box, which was very beat up, and with no additional protection on the interior for the machine. Given that this product is both shipped and sold by Amazon, I expected much more care in packaging.

I love this machine. As a LuLaRoe Consultant I ship constantly and was going to the post office every day at first.

This thing saves me so much time and was crazy easy to set up. Literally just plugged it in and downloaded the desktop application.

This makes label printing fool-proof! No more wasting ink (according to the instructions, the only thing you need to worry about is having labels to keep the machine fed)!

This was super easy to set up: install the CD software first, then plug in the power cord and USB cord to your computer and turn it on. That’s it! Once you open up the program on your computer, they give you a few templates to choose from, you edit your information, select how many copies you need, click “PRINT”, and voilà!

I bought this for an elderly family friend who makes baked goods and kept bugging me about her labels not being properly aligned when she printed them. I ordered this on a Wednesday, received on Friday (thanks Prime!), went to her house on Saturday and set her up within 10 minutes.

Great purchase!!!!

The Label Printer is good really, but it has three drawbacks: first, the label roll can occasionally get stuck. Even the use guide has foreseen that this happens and the solution is to uncover the front part to eliminate the paper jam. This is a disadvantage because removing the lid is not very intuitive and because the electronic card with the power LED to leave exposed and unprotected. If you are not careful with that, you can damage them accidentally. Second, the software is outstanding but sometimes generates conflicts with the Microsoft Office program and you must uninstall and install it again. Third, the connection of the power cable and the data cable is quite uncomfortable, the manufacturer repeated the same design error that other label printers have in that sense (as in the case of Zebra that I have used). This aspect is easy to solve by making the rear connection easier and cleaner. The exterior design of the printer is sober and compact. All the outer shell is made of plastic that makes it light and easy to transport.. The price-benefit ratio is good. The seller made shipping on time and the product was received on time. The product arrived in good condition.

If NASA engineers were asked to develop a jamming machine that is guaranteed to jam on every use, be a pain in the butt to take apart and far worse to put back together they would win an award for ingenuity if they presented this devise of epic frustration to the scientific community. DYMO I bow my heads to you. Clearly with limited engineering know how you out performed NASA. You must have spent months saying – “not frustrating enough, go back and make it worse”

And then Eureka you did it!!! You took a concept of a simple label writer, made every mistake possible and perfected the worlds first 100% guaranteed to work – label jammer. Well done – I applaud your efforts I used used your epic frustration device for five months now and it continues to amaze me. Each time I say “today it will work” But no – 4 labels later and I’m up to up elbows for 15-20 minutes fixing it again. The manufacturers of blood pressure medication must love you … I however do not.

Amazon if you are listening – I beg of you, give us the zero star option that we can use just once per year on the worst product ever conceived.
