🏷️ DYMO XTL 500 Complete Label Maker Kit for Advanced Labeling Tasks (1868815) Review

Good equipment. There is everything you need to create great labels. The kit does not include label stock for small labels, so plan to order the supplies you need if you are looking for smaller labels. The labeling software is available online for free.

The first error I'm confused about. A wave of undyed ink remained on the label. I used up 3 full rolls as I had to make labels for important reasons. My first exchange on Amazon was successful. A few days later I received a new block. The new block worked great. I passed about a dozen (2 inch x 24 foot) rolls of labels, mostly yellow black ink.

A variety of labels can be made, I mainly use it for cable labels and the printing is unreliable. not solid black like regular labels. I don't know if this is related to the type of label I'm using or this particular label manufacturer. I made some regular labels with white text on a black background and they turned out perfect.

Will not read cartridges that fail to print even after software update. I had really high expectations for this car but it's not made for the price it's being sold for. The touch screen isn't very accurate and I've had a few issues with it, number one is the cartridge case which rips off the ink section and renders the rest of the cartridge unusable.

We purchased this to use heat shrink cartridges to mark numbers on 20-18 AWG wire. The minimum diameter is 1/4", which is good, but the minimum length of each cut is 1 1/4", which is about 65 labels for the entire cartridge. Thus, about 75% of each cartridge is waste. If someone could show me how to cut each heat shrink tube to about 1/4" length per cut it would be worth it. That minimum length is ridiculous. We even tried rotating text on a 1" wide sticky label. Same minimum cut length BS 1"…

Bought this primarily for wire marking which most people I followed and cleaned up didn't do. I've had it for over a year now and it has made installation and repairs a lot easier. Pros: Printed on heat shrink tubing. Printing of cable wraps. sorted alphabetically and broken down according to the device front). Color display with graphics and touch screen. Print labels from 1/4" to 2" wide. Cons: Price (very expensive, more than it should be). Ribbons/cartridges are expensive and quite fragile…

My first impression. I bought it mainly for the ability to make 2" marks and mark the network cable. It's heavy, it's not the "you can borrow your labeller" kind of thing, it'll be at an angle to see it, but the best view if you're using it is straight up. I like the connection to the computer and you can print templates and graphics from the computer and the ability to import graphics is good. On my wish list would be the ability to export label designs from a computer to a label printer, this
