Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

When you are running a small or home business, you can't spend all your time writing or formatting labels--it just isn't time efficient. Push your printer aside and make room on your desktop for the Dymo LabelWriter EL60. Printing 12 labels per minute, the LabelWriter uses direct thermal technology, which eliminates the need for toner, ink cartridges, and ribbons.

With 2.3-inch-wide labels, the LabelWriter can handle more than 40 different styles including address labels, shipping labels, file folders, disk labels (floppy and Zip), video spines, and name badges. The accompanying software lets you print electronic postage when used with E-Stamp or Stamps.com--a real timesaver for busy professionals. As the Dymo LabelWriter EL60 integrates with Microsoft Word, Outlook, GoldMine, and ACT!, you can import addresses or other information easily, and it also prints your favorite fonts and graphics. The LabelWriter can be shared over a network.

To use the Dymo LabelWriter EL60, you need a PC running Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000, or a Macintosh with OS 8 or later. It comes with both serial and USB ports for your convenience. The internal auto switching power supply works worldwide, so now you'll never have an excuse not to write. --Dana Van Nest

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, so simple!, March 1, 2001

The EL60 is so easy to set up that it's fun! Labels print out very fast and look great. The software comes with many great templates and even allows you to design your own. The integration with Word & Outlook works amazingly well and the label prices compare well with laser/ink jet sheet labels.

Changing labels takes just a few seconds and is easy to do. Quick tip: turn the printer off when you drop in a new roll. You can press the platen release and manually feed the label into place instead of allowing it to automatically feed the label for you. This will keep you from wasting a label every time you swap them!

I haven't been this impressed with a PC product in years. You have to get it - now!

These simple label printers deserve more of a following. They're easy to set up and perform as advertised. I use mine for labeling files, CDs, printing ID tags and a dozen other uses. I only use sheets of labels for large mailings. While these label makers are versatile and capable, there are a few drawbacks. The included software could be more capable. And because these labels are thermally printed, they can't be used for long periods where they will be exposed to heat or the sun. My wife, for instance, uses the large shipping labels to stick on her car dash near her cell phone. She prints the shortcut codes for commonly called numbers on these labels. After about two months, the labels turn brown and fade because of the effects of the sun and heat in the closed car. Even with those shortcomings, these labelmakers deserve a 5-star rating because of their all-around usefulness. One additional note.

If you need to print a lot of mailing labels, then look no further. The dymo EL60 is great for doing this type of stuff. The included software works seamlessly to print within a moments notice. No jammed labels, running out of ink/toner, or any of that silly stuff you would have to experience with a traditional label printing job.

The only negative is the relatively low resolution output. i.e. you can't print a digitized image because it will look pretty terrible. However, dymo has a newer model that has increased resolution to solve the problem.
