Review: Not satisfied - Not satisfied
Review: Nice printer, but a con.. - Funny rating I know given the review title. There is nothing wrong with the printer itself and does the job well. Unfortunately, it has been programmed at manufacture with 'convenient recognition technology' to recognise your label automatically, BUT it does not accept any compatible labels except Dymo and they are much more expensive than others we used on the old predecessor model. They have to have a hole or coding on the label reels that the printer picks up and if it isn't there, then the label printer won't work. That's a forced purchase and Not Cool!!!

### ⭐ Leider ein Rückschritt – schade um den treuen Vorgänger
*by H***R on 7 November 2025*

Ich habe den DYMO LabelWriter 550 gekauft, um unseren alten LabelWriter 450 zu ersetzen, der uns viele Jahre zuverlässig treue Dienste geleistet hat. Leider hat sich DYMO beim Nachfolgemodell in meinen Augen klar in die falsche Richtung entwickelt. Das neue Gerät akzeptiert ausschließlich Original-Etiketten von DYMO – andere, günstigere Etiketten werden vom Drucker nicht mehr erkannt. Offenbar wurde eine Art „Chip-Erkennung“ eingeführt, die verhindert, dass Etiketten von Drittherstellern genutzt werden können. Das bedeutet konkret: Die alten Etikettenrollen, die wir noch in größerer Menge vorrätig hatten, funktionieren nicht mehr. Für uns macht das Gerät damit keinen Sinn mehr, da die Originaletiketten ein Vielfaches teurer sind als gleichwertige Produkte anderer Anbieter – und für unseren Zweck waren diese immer völlig ausreichend. Ich habe den Drucker daher zurückgeschickt und mir stattdessen einen gebrauchten LabelWriter 450 besorgt, der wieder tadellos arbeitet. Interessanterweise werden diese älteren Modelle inzwischen teilweise teurer gehandelt als die neuen, einfach weil viele Nutzer das gleiche Problem erkannt haben. Für mich ist das Ganze so, als würde man einen Laserdrucker kaufen, der nur Papier des eigenen Herstellers akzeptiert – das ist weder kundenfreundlich noch nachhaltig. Ich würde mir wünschen, DYMO würde lieber den Drucker etwas teurer machen, statt über das Zubehör künstliche Abhängigkeiten zu schaffen. Fazit: Tolle Marke, aber diese Entwicklung geht in die völlig falsche Richtung. Klare Daumen runter.
