5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Mac users too, May 19, 2003

I have to admit I was very hesitant to purchase this; in many cases, even when a product claims Mac compatibility it usually is just a bare-bones port. When DYMO released v60-something of their software for Mac OS 10 (10.2, Jaguar) I decided to give it a shot. Man, am I glad I did.

This simple little device saves a lot of time. It works from most major programs, but I find a quick copy & paste into the DYMO Label program is just as quick.

Labels print in a second or two after hitting the print button (use the Preferences to bypass the Print Command Window altogether, BTW). This saves a lot of time (and cost) in regards to full-sheet Avery-type labeling.

I've only played around with the large format Shipping Labels (DYMO 30256, 2 5/16 x 4) but there's a wealth of sizes and shapes available.

Images as well as text print sharp, depending on format of the image. I've done all sorts of client labels as well using their labels for them; they're all quite happy with the quality and I believe more than one has purchased one of these.

The only problem I've come across is address book saving; I can't seem to get it to save an address. I'm probably missing something but, as mentioned above, it's just as easy to do a quick copy & paste, for instance, from OS 10's own Address Book (which would seem to be the ideal program for DYMO to tie into).

Pros:

- Quick
- Clean
- Seamless OS 10 connectivity
- Sharp images as well as text (when using proper formats)

Cons:

- A little pricey (but honestly worth it)
- Noisy (but only for the few seconds it prints)
- Not color (but, c'mon, it's thermal!)

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb office tool, September 7, 2002

This specialized label printer is simple to set up, easy to use, and takes up very little space on the desk - highly recommended.

A few cautionary notes:
1. when printing from Outlook the program only recognizes business addresses
2. the thermal printing labels you must use with this printer aren't exactly cheap
3. the template provided for use in Word reinstalls itself by modifying the default document template each time you open Word, which is annoying if you have Word set to notify you before saving the default template.

Otherwise I am completely satisfied with this printer and expect to use it for many years.

I've owned a laser printer since the first HP IIP came out almost 15 years ago. It's always been handy to print labels for letters, packages, etc. on my laser printer. However, I've always had to use a whole sheet of labels to print just one and then reuse the sheet. What a mess. This product ends those problems! I'm a gadet lover and this product is the best gadet I think I have ever purchased! It prints a single label in about 2 secs. Faster than I can reach to get a label it's already printed. This thing is fast! And the quality is superb! On top of that the software's not bad either. And if you don't like the included software you can print from Word or Outlook. No more messing with a whole sheet of labels-I just print the one label I need and I'm done!

I looked at the Seiko label printer as well. Ths printer is a little bigger (not enough to matter) and the resolution is so much better. I'm telling you-this is the best product I have ever purchased! And it only took me 15 years to get it!
