Good Quality comes at a Price

Advantages: Excellent print quality
Disadvantages: short and a bit expensive

...The Dymo D1 tapes, which are suitable for a whole host of different Dymo label machines are a great invention. Most of us will remember the old Dymo machines, which used pure pressure, to stamp out the letters on to a pretty hard plastic sheet, which had a self adhesive backing. The new Dymo machines, with the D1 tape brings it all to the 21st Century. Using heat technology, to bond the ink to a thin plastic sheet, and produce good quality thin labels to be adhered to whatever you like. The D1 is available in a whole host of widths; 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 19mm, 24mm, and a whole host of colours, ranging from; black on transparent, black on white, black on yellow, white on transparent etc etc. I have been using D1 tapes for over a year now, t on the small LablePoint 100 hand held machine, and the larger Label Manager 400 machines...

Review of DYMO D1 - polyester self-adhesive label tape - 1 roll(s) (40913)

Dymo's Dynamo!

Advantages: Handy to use, great quality labels, never runs out of ink
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, noisy, can't print colour

...- around 5 minutes from beginning to end. The labelwriter comes with full detailed instructions, Power pack, USB cable for connection to your PC and CD installation software. It also came with 2 rolls of address labels, so we were able to start using it straight away and 1 year free Warranty with Dymo, providing that we registered our product with them. A desktop icon is created when it is installed and when I want to create or go to saved labels, I click on this. I am then able to either create a new label (size of labels below) or open a saved label. I initially started by creating new labels but now they are all saved, I very rarely have to create new ones. **Main features of the Dymo Labelwriter 320** Direct thermal print technology eliminates the need for ribbons, toner and ink cartridges. Can print labels up to 59 mm wide...

Review of DYMO LabelWriter 320

The Dymo 400 saves me so much time, it is a good buy

Advantages: Prints quickly, easy to use, no ink, time saver
Disadvantages: A little expensive to run for some

...The Dymo Labelwriter has been available in various models for a long time now. Many grumble at the limited use, plus the fact that you can use only Dymo labels with the device. Well, whilst this is true, you should really look at this device as a great time saving device, rather than money saving. I picked up a Labelwriter 400 just recently. I had the next model up before, but sold it on for a very good price. Within a week of selling it, I wished I hadn't. Address and shipping labels vary in price and size, but the smaller address labels work out about 3p each. There is no ink or mess to worry about, as this is a thermal printer, so the printer makes the label react and reveal a fairly crisp 300dpi print. It is nice and fast and quiet in use. So, imagine the scenario, perhaps like me you sell on ebay. I might only sell one thing a day...

Tape (2001)

Advantages: Ethan Hawke - Sweet Use Of Dialog - Richard Linklater - UMA
Disadvantages: Not much - That Vinces' bag of beer is not presently in my room...

...Ever since I watched "Waking Life", I became a huge fan of Richard Linklater. The magical thing about Waking Life was the fantasy trip (seeing as how its real life footage, that was converted into animation) that you experienced, while listening to dialog about very important and profound subjects. Then when I viewed "Before Sunrise" I not only was cemented as a fan, but gained great respect for the awesome way that he directed dialog. In "Tape", he has shown the unlimited possibilities, even if you are limited in materials. For "Tape" is a low budget movie that takes place completely in a motel room. But holds the power of a big budget film, both cinematically and creatively. Tape is... This film is based on a 1-act play, with only 3 characters. Tape begun as an off-off-Broadway play. All taking place in Access Theater's 5th...

Review of Tape (DVD)

Asus Xonar D1 - move over creative, your time is up.

Advantages: cheap, works in vista, does the job far better than the competition, optical output!
Disadvantages: limited inputs (see review)

...The souncard market has never really been swamped with options. For those of us who don't use onboard sound and demand a seperate sound card for our sorround sound/gaming/music needs theres never been much choice. Most people go with Creative as they are well known and apparently respectable. I did just that a few years ago, it was a mistake. Their driver and customer support, especially for Windows Vista users is seriously lacking. I was finding my games locking up, my computer suffering from fatal errors (aka Blue Screens of Death) and just general sound issues that were hindering my enjoyment. Research soon showed that the creative card was to blame. As a result i threw my old creative soundcard in the bin and opted for something new, the Asus Xonar D1. Simple, small and effective. Asus's card supports Vista and its drivers are...

Review of ASUS Xonar D1

My friend called Dymo!

Advantages: Fast, Looks neat and sexy like me!!!!
Disadvantages: only black and white.

...The Dymo Label Writer 330 Turbo. ---------------------- At the beginning:- ---------------------- The reason my company bought this label printer was that my computer is new to the office and I therefore had no 'creature comforts' that the other girls have got on their computers and desks. All the other computers have Seiko label printers, however we have 3 of them already and they are expensive to run and the print quality is only OK. So I managed to con my boss into letting me have one of these sexy red machines on my desk! I rooted around and we eventually bought it from Euroffice for £89 in the end of season sale as it was an end of line. It retailed at over £200 normally so I was so chuffed id bagged a bargain for my company so early on! Unfortunately, it was out of stock when we ordered it due to the great demand...

Review of DYMO LabelWriter 330 Turbo

The Dymo Labelwriter 330... for all your office needs!

Advantages: Compact, creates pro-looking labels, easy to set up and use
Disadvantages: Bit pricey, not entirely necessary as there are other ways of creating labels

...into your computer. (Not very good for fans of wireless IT gear... this does get rather fussy with all these wires). There was some software that had to be installed on the computer, but this took no more than 3 minutes, and was immediately ready for use. The device itself is quite small and compact, and does look fancy on your desk as opposed to some ugly old-fashioned-looking label makers. It's a sleek silver colour, with a burgundy bottom. Simple and neat. For printing out normal labels, the machine is perfect. It is very easy to use. You simply highlight the address you wish to print out, then click the tiny label button which gets installed on your Word program or similar in the toolbar, and then you click print when the window pops up. Alternatively, you can go to your start menu, click on the Dymo option and do it from there, by...

Review of DYMO LabelWriter 330 Turbo

The Dymo Omega Embosser is a great easy to use product.

Advantages: It's easy to use, comfortable to hold and a well-designed product.
Disadvantages: Correct pressure has to be applied to trigger for best outcome.

...The Dymo Omega Embosser does exactly what it says in the name. You feed the coloured strip on a reel in the back of the machine, press down the desired letters/spaces etc and hey presto you have a personalised embossed sticker. It very easy to use, and because it?s a manual label maker there are no batteries required, so you don?t have the hassle of replacing them. The sticker that is embossed is really strong and durable. Once you stick it to something it lasts an extremely long time without fading and stays stuck to it. I haven?t yet found a surface it won?t stick to. It is great tool for any business to own, no longer will there be any arguments over whose stapler it is. It?s not just for business use though. I?m a graphic design student and I?ve found this product endlessly useful in designs, labelling my books and portfolios...

Got Any More Old Tapes Laying Around?

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Takes a while for the bangers to come in

...Soon after his ?Stillmatic? album came out, in 2002 the New York MC Nas decided to bring out more material as ?The Lost Tapes?, in which he was seen to (rather than come out with a brand new album) compile a collection of all the best tunes which hadn?t made their way onto ?...I Am?, ?Nastradamus? and the 2001 album which reminded people why he created such a buzz with his 1994 debut release. 1. ?Doo Rags? He gets the album going with a fresh tune to guide listeners in. It is a calm one and features some gentle production to ease people on here as he gives you a chance to just enjoy life with a feel-good recording here. It is a tune which reflects the fact that here he was just messing around this material and came up with a light tune to escape what you typically get in a rhyme set from the Queensbridge native. **Four Stars** 2...

Review of Lost Tapes Vol.1, The [PA] - Nas

Tape - buy the DVD.

Advantages: cool, stylish, simple, convincing
Disadvantages: Set entirely in a motel room

...Adapted from a one act, three character play by Stephen Belber, ?Tape? ought to be considered a landmark in low budget film making. Set entirely in a seedy albeit comfortable motel room in Lansing, Michigan, the feature opens with quirky shots of Vince (Ethan Hawke) drinking beer, doing press ups, and jumping energetically around his two bedded room, dressed in boxers and a vest. When old high school friend Jon turns up - a handsome, ambitious, up-and-coming film director - their past is explored through slick, natural dialogue and a convincing rapport. But as the nature of their relationship is unfolded, so does Vince?s ulterior motive, as he becomes curious to know more about a dubious incident that occurred ten years ago, involving ex girlfriend Amy. So begins the film. You?d have thought a film so limited in setting and cast would...
