Very simple, easy label printer to use. Simple to load new rolls of labels and it's more than fast enough to get the job done.

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

Works perfectly but the included design software is horrible. But other than that, it's awesome

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

I took a chance with this printer, but I knew the brand name and so I was confident. It turns out that this printer works so easily. I don't think I would consider anything else.

So a quick review: The printer was opened out of the box and connected ready for use within minutes. After software loaded, I was ready within 15 minutes. Very easy to load labels and the software is very easy to use. The software is not very advanced, but it works once you get used to it. It just prints labels, so of course it's simple software. But the key thing is that it communicates with the printer perfectly and quickly.

I am a Mac user and I needed this for online auctions postage labels. So it was important to make sure this works for me since I have read some bad things about compatibility. So if you use a Mac, do not worry. This thing works perfectly!

The price is a little more expensive than it should be for this type of printer in my opinion, but there is nothing you can do about that. B&H has the best price and best service as usual. They also throw in some free labels to start you off. You can't beat that!

The connection is only USB. But that is fine for me since I will only be using this with one main computer. But I can also use "printer sharing" within OS X to use on other computers. No biggie.

The labels are a little expensive, that's for sure. But that's the cost of this printer type. This is something you have to expect before buying this anyway... but think about it, you don't have to add ink or toner, so labels are really the only expense. You can find other compatible labels online elsewhere too if that helps.

This thing pays for itself in time!

I honestly cannot think of anything bad to say about this printer. Maybe my expectations were right. Maybe that's why I love this thing so much. I did extensive research before I bought it and everything is "as expected". So yeah, maybe that's why I love it. I give it 5 stars!

So that ends my quick review... But please read below if you plan on using this with online auctions and postage labels!

But, I want to address an important issue that I have been reading about concerning Mac users who cannot use this for printing out postage labels. I think those people are looking for a simple "1-click" method. Well, there is no "1-click" method unfortunately. There are no direct settings within certain auction sites to access this printer. I tried everything, but nothing worked... except for one other way.

There is an easy way to print postage labels and any other labels for that matter. DYMO has software that works perfectly. You need to bypass the web browser to do this.

If you are running Mac OS X 10.6-10.8, make sure you DO NOT use the CD install disc that came in the box. Go to DYMO's website and download the current software. If you are running Mac OS X 10.3-10.5, you can use the disc. Believe it or not, this printer will also work with OS 8 and 9 too.

So without making this too long, I can explain a quick and easy way to make this work with postage labels on your Mac.

Once you are on your auction site and ready to print your label, make sure you select "8.5x11 laser/inkjet" for your printer output. Once you "Pay & Print", an image of your label pops up with a "print" button. Click on the "print" button, and with the next option you will see your OS X print screen where you select printers and settings before you actually print. On the lower left you will see "PDF". Select that and you will see an option to "save as PDF". To make it easy, save your PDF on your desktop...

Double-click your PDF file and "Preview" will open it by default. Find the crop tool and crop your label image as close as possible around the edges. Depending on your OS X version, "save as" or "export" to the desktop as a JPEG at 300 DPI (all these options are in the Preview program).

Now you have 2 images on your desktop. Open the DYMO software and look for the tabs that say "labels, insert, address book". You want to select "labels". Scroll down and find the 4x6 label and start with that. Select the "insert" tab and find the "image" button. Double click that and you should be able to import an image from any source. You will have to re-size the box and make sure you fill the entire label. Double-click within that label area and you should see an import screen with a "browse" button. Click that and find the JPEG file on the desktop. Make sure that it is on the "fill" setting when importing...

You will see your label perfectly. Check the orientation button on top to make the label image look correct. Play with the settings, but it works perfectly. All you have to do at that point is hit "PRINT" in the lower right hand side. Can't miss it!

The process could be shorter if the DYMO software could import PDF files. But it doesn't. So the extra step of creating a JPEG is probably the only hassle. But after you get used to the workflow, you will realize that it doesn't really take that much time at all. I do lots of online auctions and it is not a hassle for me.

I hope this helps all you Mac people out there. As long as you use the DYMO software everything will work perfectly. If you really think this is too much effort to make this work, you will have to find another solution. Good luck with that.

I love this printer!!!

Works well, however I couldn't get it to print correctly on my Mac. It says it does, but I use Paypal's multi ship tool and no luck. Paypal says it's not supported. Granted, I didn't spend much time trying to get it figured out, I just plugged it into my PC since I figured it would just be more compatible, and it was. Works perfect on the PC, no problems or difficulties in the setup. Bummer, since I am more of Mac person, but sometimes you just need a PC.

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

Great item, saves me time. Much better than my laser printer which constantly jammed paper. It's quiet, fast, does not jam, best part - no toner or ink. This printer paid for it self in 4 months just on the toner savings alone. It's smaller than any laser or inkjet printer. Prints instantly, no warming up needed, no ink needed. I buy generic labels which works great. Great for any online seller or small business owner.

BTW. B&H had the best rice out of any local store or online store. Great return policy great service.

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

Wow, this made my life so much easier, not to mention cheaper! super fast labels and no need to purchase expensive ink cartridges, what a deal!!!

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

Excellent product and fast shipping, thanks!!

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

Easy to set up and easy to use. Small foot print on my desk top, fast, high quality printing- what more could I ask for? I did purchased some non-Dymo brand compatible labels (part no. HL-1744907). The labels are an economical alternative to the Dymo brand version. They have the required index holes and work super in the Dymo 4xl printer and adhere well to the packages.

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

I love DYMO products. This was my third printer from them. My first one was 330. Now I have 450 Duo and 4XL Label printers. I run a book store which requires a lot of shipping without this printers I would be handicapped.

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

We use this printer at work to print courier weigh bill labels. It is better than folding an 8.5x11 sheet of paper and placing it inside a huge zip-loc envelope to ship packages and letters. It also looks more professional and helps you appear a larger company than you are! It is fast, quiet and very economical as the only supplies you will need is the labels, 4x6 from B&H at around 18.95 /roll with 220 labels on each roll...VERY good buy, VERY economical. The unit looks great, features an auto powersaving mode when inactive and our company would highly recommend, this unit for any small business wanting better shipping productivity and professionalism.

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

I use this printer for my home business and it has greatly speeded up the shipping process. Labels are crisp and printed very fast. Quite small too and looks sharp on my desk.

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

I was able to install and use this printer out of the box with my Mac system fairly quickly. I print postage from my Web browser on my Amazon account and needed something compatible with my Mac. The only issue I have is that I have to select the label size from a drop-down menu every time I get a print dialog. Customer service from Dymo is very slow by email and have to wait 3-4 days for answers to technical questions. Aside from that, the print quality is good and it beat having to hand feed labels into my laser printer.

Comments about Dymo LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer:

[...]This thermal printer is the best one on the market and for an affordable price. Very easy to get set up and start printing labels. It saves me so much time and ink cost! I can't imagine running my business without it now. It paid for itself within a week and is a priceless asset to the functionality of my shipping department. I can process and print labels in seconds, literally.I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a top of the line thermal printer for a super price.
