The Dymo LabelWriters printers are small, cool looking devices. They use thermal technology for printing, which means there are no ribbons, ink or toners. As they print they heat the label in required areas causing the heat-sensitive paper to turn black. The labels are made of such heat-sensitive paper. Their print quality is quite good and can be compared to that of a laser printer. They only print in grayscale - you can print images, but not in color.

LabelWriter 400 handles all of the standard labels available for LabelWriter printers. It can print on labels up to 60mm wide. It can be used for envelopes, packages, file folders, disks, videotapes, name badges, and more.

You can use a Dymo printer for various labeling tasks - for printing address, return address and shipping labels, file folder, diskette labels, bar codes, internet postage, videotape labels, name badges. Dymo offers a range of labels for various purposes. You can only print in black - DYMO printers don't support color printing.
