Advantages: Quick, Small, Quiet, EASY to use, user friendly software, easy to deploy on the network
Disadvantages: Its too good!

...definitely THE BEST! The Dymo LabelWriter is amazing. It works via a network switch and print server when most printers/other label writers do not work. Its small, its SO user friendly with the DYMO Label Software. Its very very easy to fix faults when they arise (not very often) and its very quick and quiet. The LabelWriter software itself is one of a kind - it allows you to print labels in batches, via an addin in Word, Excel and Powerpoint - ...
...is excellent, especially with the DYMO personalified labels. I have 10 of these in my organisation and they are becoming extremely popular. The cost of these little things are next to none - most other label writers cost over £130!! Its so good that I've bought one for my own use at home. I would definitely recommend this product. ...

Advantages: looks
Disadvantages: no colour screen

...space on your desk. Lexmark make a lot of printers and all in ones these days, this Lexmark X4550 is at the higher end of the range, however it will only cost you a great, £65 from most places. The design of this model is very stylish indeed. It is like a very cool rounded slab design and is three main colours. White, aluminium and light grey. The top white part of the printer is home to the scanner, this is very easy to use and you can either ...
...would have liked to see Lexmark add a colour screen panel onto here so that you could view photos and other things before you print them off. Why I say this colour screen would be nice to see photos is because to the right hand side of this are 2 memory card slots, also there is a usb port for plugging your digital camera straight into the printer and printing your photos off, so it is a real shame that there's not a colour screen to use this option ...

Advantages: does duplex
Disadvantages: not quick enough, now behind with the times

...my last review. The Xerox Phaser 8560 I have had for two years and decided to keep when I recently upgraded to my super duper printer that is my pride and joy when I am in creative mode at work. The Xerox Phaser 8560 replaced the 8400 a couple of years ago and we saw several improvements to the machine as you normally do, better going forwards than backwards. The Phaser 8560 is a great printer and again takes crayon as opposed to ink that give it ...
...machine installed. No matter what Xerox printer you have the functions are more or less pretty much the same, but as you get to the better models you just have a lot more functions available. The printer has the capability of taking 625 sheets of paper, slightly more than the 8400, however I do feel that these machines are very similar and you should never fill them to capacity as they always jam without fail. I think this is a problem with the manufacturer ... Read review

Advantages: High
Disadvantages: No Colour Option

The Dymo Labelwriter 400 turbo is a superb little printer which comes with its own software that is really easy to use. It offers functions including barcode printing, plus add-ins for instant printing from Microsoft Word, Outlook, QuickBooks, ACT!, Goldmine, Palm Desktop version 4 or later, WordPerfect® and more. This little printer offers speeds of 55 labels a minute, an average of just over a second per label. However this never seems to happen ...
...I use the Labelwriter connected to my pc via a usb cable with no problems. I also have enabled sharing for it so other people can use it to. However these is a draw back with this that it can be quite slow printing when someone else prints. (Note this could be because of Pc but I am unable to prove/disprove this). In conclusion this is a great little label printer if you aren't printing 100's of labels at a time. ... Read review

Advantages: Speed
Disadvantages: None

Oki make good printers, the Oki B 4600 is a very fast mono printer. Faster than a fast thing going really fast! This is great if you're printing off lots of copies in a hurry, or ideal for printing customer receipts or information when the customer is waiting. This printer is quite small so is good if space is a problem. There are a couple of minor things to watch out for, the drum on this machine seems to get damaged quite easily, if your taking ...
...the surface of the drum. Also the front control panel looks nice but is easy to mark. Like I said these are really minor issues. The main point about the Oki B 4600 is speed of print with reasonable quality, if that's what you're searching for you've found it. ... Read review
