Ordered late on Saturday evening and delivered 8.15am on Sunday morning, very impressed. Machine was to replace an old one which was showing signs of age. So far very good
So there isn’t much in our house that hasn’t been labelled with this nifty little machine. It’s easy to use – a little too easy -husband labelled all the shelves in the food cupboards with what should be there – but usually isn’t. He’s starting in the garage next. Giving every tool a home and labelling where it should be. Unfortunately he doesn’t remember to put the stuff back when he moves it somewhere else. He has all good intentions to get everything organised. Maybe it will help in the long run – at least we will know what we have lost from the empty shelves!
Fantastic bit of kit and so easy to use once you get your head around how the functions operate; you will need to refer to the Dymo on line manual and possibly youtube video to figure out how the 2 line print function is enabled. Quality of print is great from the very small to the very large and loads of symbols too.
A further 5 colour pack of plastic coated refills at less than a tenner complete the operation; should last a while at 4 metres a roll. The included white cartridge is discretely hidden in the packaging so don’t accidentally throw it away. You wont be disappointed.
Does the job. Tape jammed after doing a few labels but I was able to unjam it & it has been OK since. More instructions would have been useful. Key for “&” sign would be useful. Maybe I just haven’t worked it out yet!
Works well, you can choose from 3 different sizes and fonts also if gives you the option to put a border around the letters. Not to heavy and not to big. The refillable cartridges are quite small and easy to install. It comes with a white and clear cartridge and you can get red blue and green also. Adhesion is not great but Its ok for non textured surfaces. It’s a good little label maker for the house and we use it quite often.
The label ribbon is not cheap but the quality of the print, the simplicity of removing the backing paper and the adhesion makes the expense worthwhile.
The LetraTag I find is very easy to use, and there are two main parts where you access the settings. One is the actual settings button, that allows you to set the contrast of the print out text, size of the text. Another is the format button, which allows you to set the style of the text (italic, bold, normal) and also in here is the option to have a two line print out on the label.
I have used this to print out some labels to stick on the many plugs around my desk, and also where my TV unit is. My girlfriend is into crafting and she will also have some use of the LetraTag with her crafting.
To use the Dymo LetraTag is very easy and installing the printing reel takes seconds and clicks into place with a positive click. It has a clear and legible LCD screen and you can see exactly what is going to be printed, before hitting the print button. One little complaint I have, is with the keyboard. It is not your usual familiar QWERTY key layout, and instead is arranged in an ABCDEF arrangement. I found myself trying to type on it and expecting to find the key I was wanting where I was placing my finger (as I am used to typing on a QWERTY keyboard, with using Smartphone, Tablet, computer keyboards) and found it took longer to type the text out than what it would have if the keyboard was arranged in a QWERTY key layout. Perhaps Dymo you could amended this model and have the keys arranged in a QWERTY key layout, as the vast majority of UK users will be most familiar with this keyboard arrangement. The keys I found looked a bit dated, and they are chunky and they do protruding a bit and also they are made of rubber, rather than the plastic keys we see on physical keyboards nowadays.
Once you have decided on what size the text is going to be, what style, you then press the print button. I was surprised how quiet and quickly the Dymo LetraTag printed out the label. Once the label has finished printing, you press the trigger like button on the right handside, and this will cut the label. The label has a perforated line on the back and I found the easiest way to remove the backing, was to gentle fold the label along it’s length and you then see the backing separate in it’s two half’s, and you then are able to stick the label onto whatever you desire. I found the print quality to be very good indeed, and was extremely happy with the results.
You are able to purchase different materials in the range of printing reels, and the one included with the Dymo LetraTag is a paper label, white background black text. But you are able to purchase plastic labels that come with a white background and black text, as well as a multitude of other colours that are available in this plastic label format.
I do have a complaint with the ridiculous plastic packaging that the LetraTag comes in. It is far too much plastic, it needs scissors or a knife to cut it open, the edges of the plastic are sharp. Dymo, why the hell don’t you not put this product in a card box.
Not much else to say, apart from this is a really handy product, that gives excellent results, and hopefully will last for years to come.
