Not Like Your Parent's Label Maker -- See Attached Photo
Last century, we had label makers like these in every office and I was excited to buy one for my daughter to use. This label maker is not nearly as good as the ones of years ago. Most importantly, the letters are much smaller than the older label makers output. As a result, the letter quality is not as good.
When I saw the output from this DYMO, I thought I was mis-remembering what the output from this kind of label maker looked like. So I bought a ROTEX 880 for twenty one ninety nine (incl shipping) from eBay. I just received it, put tape in it (I used one of the extra rolls of black tape that came with the Dymo) and the output of the ROTEX 880 is exactly what I had hoped for. (See attached photo.)
The DYMO is a lightweight plastic thing. That wouldn't be a problem if it stamped a quality tape.
