FAQ

• Can the Dymo 450 print shipping labels?

  The Dymo Label Writer 450 is an excellent printer for printing name tags, stamps, and address labels. When it comes to printing the standard 4” x 6” shipping label, however, this printer won’t work. The reason is simple: the Dymo printer doesn’t support labels measuring “4 x 6”. The maximum width it can support is only 2.2”. If you want to print 4” x 6” labels, you’ll need to use the Dymo Label Writer 4XL since it can print extra-large labels that are 4” wide.

• Does Dymo run out of ink?

  All Dymo LabelMakers don’t use ink and use only self-contained tape cartridges. When the prints start to fade this generally means that the batteries require replacing. Sometimes the printhead needs additional power than the drive motor, so once the batteries become low the text will fade while the tape still delivers the “out of ink” effect. Thus when your Dymo printer runs out of batters it exhibits the same problem as having a printer that runs out of ink.
