A distant cousin to the Editors' Choice Dymo LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo, the Dymo LabelWriter 450($76.95 at Amazon) offers a far more basic design at a lower price. The most obvious difference between the two is that instead of being two printers in one case, which lets you load two different types of labels at once, the LabelWriter 450 is a single printer that holds only one label roll at a time. As you might guess from the missing in the name, it's also a little slower than the 450 Twin Turbo. On the other hand, as a basic label printer, it's all that most small offices need. Like most office label printers, the 450 is small enough to fit on a desktop easily without taking up a lot of space, at roughly 5.3 by 4.9 by 7.3 inches (HWD). Unlike some, including the Editors' Choice Brother QL-700, for example, it lacks an automatic cutter. However, that's a small inconvenience at worst, since the label roll tears off both cleanly and easily enough by hand. A potentially more import...
The Dymo LabelWriter 450 delivers more than acceptable speed and can print on a variety of labels, including postage labels (with an upgrade) using the Endicia Web site.
