Are you familiar with Dymo label makers and label printers?

What such a labeler or label printer is used for is generally already known. But are you familiar with their product lines? What do all those abbreviations in their names mean? In this article, we will show you that it is not any complicated science.

In DYMO's portfolio, we find label makers that are suitable for various areas of use. Depending on their specific purpose, we can therefore expect precisely defined functions from them. Individual ranges of Dymo label makers can also print on various consumables such as label maker tapes, heat-shrink tubing, textile ribbons, etc. Of course, they do not only deal with label makers, but also label printers, which are of equally high quality and include plenty of great features that you will find useful in more than one line of work.

TIP from us: "What are Dymo label maker tapes like? And how to choose correctly?"

DYMO LABEL MAKERS

Dymo Omega Series

Dymo Omega label makers are mechanical, which means they do not print labels, but instead emboss individual letters and characters into a durable plastic tape. They are suitable for creating labels, for example for marking spices and other items that you are more likely to find in your household. The advantage of this solution is its ease of use. These machines can be used even by children, for example, because they are safe and do not require power. The disadvantage is, of course, the limited selection of characters and the small printing area.

Dymo LetraTag (LT) Series

Dymo LetraTag label makers are already electronic, yet still easy to use and suitable for printing small quantities of labels. You will use it rather for household work for labeling containers, jars, drawers, tool cabinets, etc. The Dymo LetraTag series offers a basic set of features including selection of font size and style, bold text option, and a graphic display showing a label preview.

Dymo LabelManager (LM) Series

These label makers already offer many more functions, making them very versatile and therefore suitable for use in multiple industries.

Dymo LabelManager label makers offer a wide selection of font types as well as formatting options and border selection. Most models of these label makers can now also be connected to a computer, which makes work easier in the case of a large number of labels and also allows printing labels with barcodes in many popular standards (and some models even QR codes).

These Dymo label printer models and higher-end lines such as Rhino and XTL are now available for purchase both separately and even in sturdy portable cases with all the necessary accessories.

Dymo Rhino Series

Those who will benefit most from Dymo Rhino professional industrial label makers are primarily specialists in electrical, telecommunications, and teleinformatics installations.

They can print not only classic labels but also heat-shrink tubing and flags.

For field work, these Rhino label makers are ideal also thanks to their durability, as their construction is made predominantly of rubber material. 

Dymo XTL Series

Dymo XTL are label makers packed with all the important features.All professionals will certainly appreciate the quality, workmanship, and features of this product line. They are equipped with a library of automatic formats for printing labels for cables, wires, terminal blocks, and panels. Its ease of use is enabled, among other things, by a color display that shows a real preview of the label. Dymo XTL label makers are equipped with impact-resistant bumpers and an easy-to-wipe keyboard, making their maintenance and cleaning trouble-free.

DYMO LABEL PRINTERS

Compared to Dymo label makers, Dymo label printers are found under only one product name - LabelWriter (LW).

These desktop label printers from Dymo are mainly used in offices, warehouses, healthcare facilities, online stores, and other work sectors where their functionality will be appreciated. With Dymo LabelWriter label printers, you can primarily print self-adhesive labels on rolls or self-adhesive tags, which may already be pre-cut.They can help you, for example, with keeping records, printing shipping labels, organizing binders in the office, or even in laboratories and hospitals with sample labeling and printing attachments to documentation.

The basic model of this series is the Dymo LabelWriter 450. The other label printers in this series are enhanced variants and therefore each has its own specific additional function.

• "DUO" - includes a built-in module that allows printing not only self-adhesive labels, but also printing Dymo D1 series tapes
• "TURBO" - offers faster label printing - up to 71 labels per minute (compared to 51 for the LW450)
• "TWIN" - includes two independent print heads, so with this printer you can create two labels of different sizes (e.g.
with the recipient's and sender's addresses)
• "WIRELESS" - is equipped with a WiFi module and can support multiple computers on a local LAN (WLAN) network
• "4XL"/"5XL" - has a wider print head than the other models and therefore can print labels up to 105 mm wide

We hope that after reading this article, you will now understand Dymo label makers and label printers at least a little better. If you would like advice on this or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to answer all your questions.
