![]() So, it may end up being worth it to upgrade to a thermal label printer. Of course, you have to also buy new ribbons and ink cartridges over time. If you use an inkjet printer, you can use integrated labels and for anywhere between $0.10 to $0.15 a label, you can print your labels with an adhesive back and place them on the parcel. If you need a way to print your 4” x 6” labels and an inkjet printer is all you have other than a 450 series DYMO, you may wonder if it’s worth the upgrade. Should I Just Use an Inkjet Printer or Get a 4” x 6” Thermal Printer? So, you only need to find a DYMO LabelWriter printer that accommodates to the narrower dimension for your labels. NOTE: Label printers generally print in portrait orientation. They are able to print 2” labels just as easily as they do 4” wide labels. What’s more, you’re not limited to printing 4” x 6” labels with these larger printers. If you plan on printing labels for these carriers and moving beyond just printing stamps and address labels, you will want to upgrade your DYMO printer. ![]() Why Should I Get a Printer that Prints 4” x 6” Labels?Ĥ” x 6” labels are the standard-sized shipping label for major carriers like UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL Express. Since we only support 4” x 6” labels from our carrier partners, we can only advise or offer support for the DYMO 4XL. ShipStation does not support the DYMO Label Writer 450, DYMO Label Writer 450 Turbo, DYMO Label Writer 450 Twin Turbo, or the DYMO Label Writer 450 Duo. For printing 4” x 6” labels, you would need to use the DYMO Label Writer 4XL, as its XL support comes from its ability to print “extra-large” 4-inch wide labels. The reason behind this is simple: The DYMO Labelwriter 450 doesn’t have the ability support 4” x 6” labels. Apologies for the long post.While the DYMO Label Writer 450 is a great printer that can print name tags, stamps, and address labels it WILL NOT print 4” x 6” labels. However the software, once installed, seems to work well enough. Seems to me that this company has terrible documentation which leads to a terrible experience. I restored my “DYMO Label Software” folder to my Documents folder as that is where my custom labels are stored. The Dymo 400 was there I didn't even need to “Add” it it was already there. On a hunch (or last gasp), I restarted the machine and suddenly everything worked. I still had no luck with the Add Printer Preference Pane and the Dymo Label app. ![]() I then installed v8.4.2.9 with the Dymo unplugged and plugged it in only at the end as recommended. By the way, the Dymo uninstaller is a joke. Using EasyFind, I removed all Files containing the string “Dymo” in them except for the cups Dymo 400 Labelwriter.PPD and a cups filter “rastertodymo.” I had to enable EasyFind to look for hidden files and folders and iTweax to make hidden files appear in the Finder. Also, the Dymo Label app could not find the printer and advised reinstallation. Main problem was that the installer would run satisfactorily, then in the OS X Printers and Scanners Preference Pane, I would try to Add (+) my Dymo 400 printer and the Name and Location of the printer were shown, but the driver could not be found. I managed to get v8.4.2.9 working on my MBP Core 2 Duo running Mountain Lion and connected via USB. If this happens, you can either turn off drop shadows or switch the display to either 256 colors or millions of colors and the distortion will not occur. ![]() With some video cards set to display thousands of colors, you may notice that label shadows are distorted or have the wrong colors. Printers connected to a serial port or using a Serial-to-USB adapter are NOT supported. The LabelWriter 300, 330, and 330 Turbo printers mentioned in the list above are only supported when connected through a USB port on your Mac computer. DYMO Labelwriter for the dedicated Dymo label and tape maker machines, supports the following printer models:
