Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Are you sick to death of changing the paper in your printer every time you want to print labels? Don't you hate wasting the few labels left on the last sheet when you're done? Your solution comes in a fairly small package--the Dymo LabelWriter EL 60 is a wee sprite that takes care of your labeling needs quickly and quietly. This 5.5-by-5.5-by-7.25-inch unit looks like a medium-sized Rolodex and can handle a large variety of Dymo labels--use them for addresses, file folder labels, postage, or whatever needs you might dream up along the way.
The drivers are easy to install and work with lots of popular programs, such as Word, Outlook, and GoldMine. If you're running Windows, you can network the EL 60 so all hands can route their labels to the same small box. Thermal printing saves ink and toner charges at the cost of a little speed--but that efficiency can be made up from eliminating paper-tray switches in your main printer and using the EL 60 to automatically print ZIP+4 and POSTNET postal bar codes on each label. If you do enough mailing to find the process frustrating, do yourself a favor and pick up a Dymo LabelWriter EL 60.
Pros:
- Prints labels quickly and easily
- Thermal printing
- Many label sizes and styles available
Cons:
- Limited choice of label brands

This review is from: DYMO LabelWriter El 60 (Office Product)
Make sure when you are ordering one of these older label printers whether it is USB or the older style. I have both and can use either one, but the older ones require a special cord adapter. We plugged it in and it worked great and we make a lot of labels in one day. I had one that took us 4 years to wear out. Gonna be sad when we can't find any more of these.

This review is from: DYMO LabelWriter El 60 (Office Product)
The "Dymo LabelWriter EL60" is a small printer shaped like a half circle with a semi clear window in the front to view labels as they are printer. On the front of the printer is a horizontal slot from which labels are "ejected" once printed. Front panel controls are limited to one; the advance label button, used in case the label become jammed, or the printer will not print, but you need to advance the label. Also on the front of the "Dymo LabelWriter EL60" is a small oval yellow light indicating that the unit is powered on. On the back there is rocker switch for power, and two connections for serial and USB.The curious looking little gray "Dymo LabelWriter EL60" is easy to setup. Install the provided software, connect the printer to an available USB or serial port, turn it on, and finish the installation of the software; it's that simple. Since the "Dymo LabelWriter EL60" uses a thermal print head to make labels, there is not cartridge or ribbons to install, and installation of the roll of labels is simple and straight forward. The provided software is simple and straight forward; there are not a lot of bells and whistles, making the package is easy to master. With the "Dymo LabelWriter EL60" you can interface with Symantec ACT!, an excellent contact manager, and Goldmine, which will allow you to print address labels from these two programs. The program, called simply Dymo Label will allow you to save custom labels, but there are a number of label templates to choose from as well. Data can be imported into the program via Windows Clipboard. A list manager (address book) is included which acts as a contact manager for easy access to stored labels, complete with ZIP Code address bar. Graphics, albeit in black & white, can easily be added to labels via a handy graphics tool; lines, rectangles, and bar codes can also be inserted via the same toolbar. You can connect a "Dymo LabelWriter EL60", to a PC running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or XP, or a Macintosh running OS 8 or later. The internal auto switching power supply works worldwide, a feature that is rare in a unit so small. Print Quality Like a laser printer, thermal printing utilizes heat to produce output, using "special" heat sensitive paper. But unlike a laser printer, thermal technology does not use toner; therefore there are no messy toner cartridges to replace. The image is literally burned onto the paper by the print heads, and the output is on par with laser and inkjet printers. Once printed, the output does not smudge, even freshly printed. There is no noticeable banding, or blotching. Fonts are well rounded where they need to be, and sharp and crisp when called for. The 203 dpi resolution is more then adequate for standard mailing labels. Be aware that direct sunlight and fluorescent light for an extended period of time might cause labels to fade. Labels Like rival Sanyo, Dymo offers a stellar array of labels for the "Dymo LabelWriter EL60" but they are proprietary, and you'll be hard pressed to find third party labels that will fit printer. Dymo offers a variety of different labels; I doubt the average user will have difficulty finding labels to fit their needs. Common label types such as address labels are relatively inexpensive (A roll of 220 shipping labels (2.125"x4") averages $14.99), while specialty labels can be quite expensive. Labels can be purchased on-line at such outlets as Amazon.com, Staples.com, and Buy.com, or purchased from traditional office suppliers, such as Office Depot and OfficeMax. The shelf life for the labels is just under two years, and they should be stored in a cool dry place for the obvious reasons.
