THE BOTTOM LINE

The Dymo LabelWriter 450 Turbo delivers fast speed for printing on a variety of labels, including postage labels by way of the Endicia Web site.

Unlike some of its competition, notably the Editors' Choice Brother QL-700, the 450 Turbo lacks an automatic cutter. However, as I pointed out in my review of the Dymo 450, that is not really a problem, since the label roll tears off both cleanly and easily enough by hand.

A more important issue the 450 Turbo shares with the Dymo 450 is that changing rolls is harder than it could be. Brother, for example, sells its label rolls complete with spools, so you can switch label types simply by lifting one roll out of the printer and dropping another in. With Dymo's approach, you also have to remove the current roll from the one spool the printer comes with and mount the replacement roll on the spool before you can put it in the printer.

If you won't be switching between different types of labels very often, this won't be an issue either. However, if you want to change between printing, say, mailing labels and stamps several times a day, it could quickly turn into an annoyance. Fortunately, there is a simple fix in the form of additional spools. Leave each roll mounted on a spool and switching becomes a lot easier.
