I was quite skeptical when purchasing this product. Usually hardware that says it''s PC & Mac compatible falls short on one of those platforms. Not so here... this little printer works like a charm on my iMac. It''s a breeze to install, paper is easy to load, and the software is both graphically pleasing and incredibly easy to use. You can copy and paste addresses right into the program and it will check to see if it is a valid address, add the +4 to your zip codes automatically, and even print the USPS barcode on the label for faster sorting. It even integrates with Mac OS X and allows you to print labels by selecting anyone in your Mac''s address book. Also, printing your own postage is a huge convenience. There is no extra cost for buying postage online, just the cost of the label, which if bought in bulk or manufactured by a third party, is really quite cheap. For the convenience of not having to go to the post office to buy stamps, the cost of the labels is a fair trade-off. It makes addressing packages and envelopes a total pleasure instead of a hassle. You can also use a USB scale to automatically calculate postage based on weight. This will calculate shipping for first class, as well as priority and express mail service. All around an excellent product and well worth the price.

Two Important Tips: 1) When installing a new roll of labels, there will be some sticky residue left from the glue put there to keep the spool from unraveling. Peel off the label with the sticky stuff on it before feeding it through your printer to prevent the residue getting on the paper feed roller. If the glue gets on the roller, it is likely to cause paper jams. 2) This printer uses thermal paper, not ink. The labels are best used for shipping, or things that require temporary labeling (less than six months). These labels WILL fade after time, and will fade very quickly if left in direct sunlight or in an overly hot environment. This is not a shortcoming of this printer, but of thermal paper technology in general. If you are looking to use this for long term labeling, I would recommend using a different labeler like a Brother P-Touch.

UPDATE: This first one of these worked so well at work, I have purchased a second one for home and added a USB scale to each. Very Very happy with this purchase. Highly recommended!

Buy DYMO Label Writer 450 Twin Turbo label printer (1752266) Now

I was really excited when I first purchased this, the 25lb USB scale, and a pack of extra labels. I thought -no more lines at the post office: Great! On Dymo''s and Endicia''s web site, they made sure to point out that I could print postage from home for FREE and expressly indicated "no monthly fees." Again, I was very excited. I''m just a casual shipper -couple packages a year, so a monthly fee (like with Stamps.com) is not worth it in the slightest. Plus, a lot of the stuff you can do for free already anyway; just not First Class stamps.

So first I''ll cover unboxing and setup: it was breeze except for some sticky labels. Instead of using the CD that came with the printer, I always download the latest version from the web. That installed very quickly and painlessly. Then, I connected the printer and followed the Quick Start guide which was surprisingly well written. I installed the address labels first and completed that in under 30 seconds! Moved onto the stamp labels which proved to be a little trickier. The labels kept feeding in crookedly. The first time I pulled it out, the label peeled off inside the printer and I couldn''t get it out. I called tech support and to my surprise, the designers thought about this already and the front panel pops right off easily and the print mechanism separates in two places to get the labels out from where ever they are stuck! AWESOME! I finally figured out that the reason they were feeding crookedly was because of the glue leftover from the sticker that held the roll together. So, throw away the first two labels and you''ll be fine. Creating the Endicia account was also quick and easy as well as the Endicia software installation.

Now onto the not-so-good...

I attempted to print my first First Class stamp -$0.08 to make up the difference of an old $0.37 stamp. I played around in the software for a while and could not figure out where to type "0.08." I chatted with Endicia support and they told me that the "free" account only permits a small subset of USPS postage. $0.45 and $0.65 first class stamps, postcards, additional postage of $0.01, and flat rate postage for packages. In order to print an $0.08 stamp, I would need a paid account at a minimum of $9.95/mo. At first, I didn''t believe this. All their web site talked about was being able to print postage at home for free. Nothing about restrictions. Not even footnotes, asterisks, or fine print. Well, turns out it''s true. So, I''m returning everything to Amazon (who is awesome at returns by the way).

Bottom line:

Great printer and well-thought-out design. DECEIVING ADVERTISEMENT. The only "FREE" postage you can print is the same stuff you can do for free without the printer: buy First Class stamps (any Walmart or other grocery store) and print Flat Rate postage (you can do that via USPS.com). Even PayPal allows you to print First Class Parcel and Media Mail postage on their site for FREE to a regular printer or a label printer (although not this one yet).

Suggestion for Dymo/Endicia:

Please don''t misunderstand, I''m not unreasonable. I fully expected there to be some kind of limit on the free account like: you can''t print more than $500/mo or something like that. You have to have something that prevents abuse or use by a business that does a lot of shipping. But having what you''ve done is simply unforgivable.

I would suggest that you change your free account to have a monthly or annual limit of some sort. Something to separate the personal/casual shipper from the business users. Granted very small businesses would fall under the $500/mo idea, but that should be just fine (IMHO) -they are starting out anyway, why burden them with more expenses? It''s really a good business plan anyway. Get someone in on a free limited spend account and as their shipping needs grow, they''re already in with you and you get the business because that''s what they''re already used to and like.

We have about 2 dozen of the original Dymo TwinTurbo Labelwriters. As they have been breaking, I have been replacing them with this new 450 model.

The main difference is that these new 450''s print much faster with virtually no pause when printing multiple labels. They use the same print driver as original TwinTurbo''s which is convenient (we don''t install the Dymo software).

This is a fast, sleek, sharp label printer

I recently purchased the Dymo Labelwriter 450 Twin Turbo wondering if I really should have invested the money. I had been looking at it for over two years and it went on sale. My wife and I had been preparing sheet labels for our daughter''s wedding on the laser printer and it became too expensive and took too long. This little jewel has been one of my best investments! It printed everything in less time than it took me just to feed the sheets using the laser printer, printed them in an easy to peel format (no time wasted as with the laser printer), and I was able to print directly from a database. The merge label option in the Dymo software made it easier than using Excel and Word to merge the labels and offered more control over the results! You can set the printer to print only the screen shot or the entire database.

I should have bought this when I first started looking at it. The roll labels actually work out cheaper, faster, and of better quality than the laser sheets. One label or multiple labels-nothing beats this little device. On sheet labels laser sheets are already higher priced than ink jet because they must be made to endure more heat. Our time spent labeling the envelopes was 25% of what it had taken using the printer sheets. Also, you can load both sides of the Twin Turbo and print from both at the same time for more speed. My wife did not call this little wonder a toy! Buy ityou will not regret it.
