DYMO Embossing Label Maker, Includes 3 DYMO Label Tapes, Organizer Xpress Pro Starter Kit - Ergonomic Design, For Home DIY & Crafting

Years ago I had an electronic version of this and it always needed fresh batteries when I went to use it and the multiple different functions and buttons just got in the way when I all I wanted to do was print a label quickly! This is cheap, cheerful and gets the job done. Came with a total of three reels of tape which are quite long too. My son messed with this and it stopped working - quick search on you tube and found the solution- the top and bottom reels were no longer aligned. 3 second fix. I saw in previous reviews that some people said you had to squeeze really hard to get a proper impression of the letter. Honestly, I don't find this to be the case. I have even suffered some weakness in my hands of late due to neurological condition that effects my strength/grip and I can still use it just fine, my 9 year old too. It even perforates the tape when you cut to make peeling the paper off the back super easy. For $10 you really cut go wrong, great little tool!!

So before buying this I read many reviews, and this one has many negative ones. I also saw a few videos on Youtube and one of them the lady had to press really hard in order to get the embossing to happen. I was quite skeptical but honestly I needed this more for the aesthetics so I was not going to buy a digital label maker. Now that I receive the product, I find it quite amazing. You don't have to press hard at all. It comes with two black tapes and a red one. The wheel is grey, not green like in some customers' images shown here (gives me more reason to believe they improved this product) and it cuts quite well. I would have honestly given it 4 stars instead of 5 but I want to rise those numbers because 3 stars average I find unfair. My only critiques and advices would be: 1. Start with the "spacebar" (is that how you would call this?) because it goes right to the edge. And before you choose to cut it, add a space again. Otherwise it will be extremely to the edge. 2. Choose wisely where to place the sticker. If you remove it again, because it is a plastic sticker, when you fold it the tiniest bit (like when trying to remove the sticker on the edges) it gets white, and unless you like the marbling effect, you'd avoid it. 3. What is up with the packeging? So inconvinient. Fully wrapped in a hard plastic there is no way to open this without scissors. If you don't own a pair of scissors order it with this on Amazon.

This label maker worked very well at the beginning, for about an entire roll (photo of red label as an example). I managed to label everything I needed and wanted to, so that's good. But now it just messes up every time I try to create a label. The letters don't get embossed, and if they do, they're out of alignment (see the photos with the black labels). I don't know, maybe it's because I was squeezing the trigger to hard or something. Or maybe there's a piece of debris stuck in the mechanism. I think I'm just gonna spend a little more for an electronic label maker next time. Update: I managed to fix my Dymo labeler. It's not because I was pressing too hard. It's because it's badly designed with cheap parts. I'll explain. You have to remove the two screws at the bottom and then remove the entire "head" of the device (the rotating cassette of letters). It'll be tricky, and you'll have to slightly pry the handle apart a little bit, but it can be done. Inside, you'll find the little plastic hammer that pushes up against the letters. Every time you squeeze the trigger, the little plastic hammer pushes up against a letter to stamp your label. Now, each of the letter stamping pieces is not a solid piece. It's hollow with a cross brace inside of it - and it's sharp. The reason why this thing fails after a certain amount of use is because every time the hammer makes contact with a letter stamping piece, it pushes up against the cross brace and the edges of that letter piece, and because that hammer is just malleable plastic, it WILL get dented and deformed (see my "deformed plastic hammer" pic). Then with every squeeze of the trigger, the plastic hammer will deform more and more until it no longer pushes evenly against the letter, and the letter stamping pieces basically just slip off of the hammer pushing up against it. This is why it stops stamping letters properly, and why sometimes the letters are out of alignment. To fix this, you'll need to fix the plastic hammer. I personally filed down the chipped and dented head and then attached a tiny piece of rubber to it. Make sure that whatever you're attaching to the hammer is thin enough though. The cassette of letters still need to freely rotate above it. But as you can see in my example pic, it's all fixed again. So, it works again, and the labels are all coming out correctly again, but I'm still giving this thing two stars because it's built very poorly. I would've given it a one-star, but when it works, it's cool, and it's at least easy-ish to fix. But I shouldn't need to crack this thing open and MacGyver a fix for it. The letter pieces should've been solid pieces instead of being hollow and having that sharp bracing support in it that damages the plastic hammer. The plastic hammer should've had a rubber or metal piece on the tip to reinforce it and prevent it from being damaged. Sure, this thing will probably work for you through an entire roll, maybe two, before it fails - and it WILL fail. But unless you're comfortable with fixing this thing when it does break, I'd seriously consider something else. 2022-03-27 Update: My fix to print letters is still working, but the cutting blade on this label maker has completely dulled, and I still have another roll left. It doesn't cut anymore, and I didn't even go through two rolls! This product is terrible. I'm knocking it down to 1/5 stars. If you want a long-lasting label maker, go look elsewhere and don't cheap out. This thing sucks. Cheap materials destined for the landfill!

Love it, simple and easy!

Produit très efficace, bonne adhérence des étiquettes sur du verre ou du plastique. Il faut tout de même forcer sur la poignée pour faire le marquage des lettres.

When loading Tape, Don't list Letters from the Dial, The tape won't Load right, Red Tape is a good Highlight

É super legal! Queria muito comprar para fazer adesivos para o meu álbum de Polaroid. Achei a estrutura do aparelho meio frágil, dá a impressão de que é meio vagabundo, apesar de ser a marca original. Mas de modo geral eu gostei muito, quero fazer etiquetas o dia todo. Tive o problema que a fita não estava subindo da segunda vez que fui usar mas é só abrir e empurrar a fita, agora já está normal. Ele é 100% manual, não tem pilha. Vem 3 refis de fita. A fita é bem grossa e durinha, quando vc corta ele faz um picotado pra facilitar tirar o plástico de trás, achei genial.
