Review: Excelente - Excelente Excelente
Review: Very bad software which is necessary for use of printer. - **Great hardware let down badly by terrible software** I’ve used several DYMO label printers over the years and recently purchased the LabelWriter 550 expecting a solid upgrade. Unfortunately, while the hardware itself prints labels cleanly and reliably, the **DYMO software is shockingly poor** and turns what should be a simple task into a frustrating experience. The biggest issue is **data management**. Importing CSV files is far more difficult than it should be. Field mapping is clunky, inconsistent, and prone to errors, making bulk label printing unnecessarily time-consuming. Managing the built-in **Contacts list** is equally painful—basic operations like editing, sorting, or organizing contacts feel unintuitive and outdated. Setting up **mailing label layouts** is another headache. Simple formatting tasks require far too many steps, and it’s never clear why the software behaves the way it does. The user interface feels like it hasn’t been meaningfully updated in years and lacks any logical workflow. Nothing is where you expect it to be. One especially frustrating problem is the **label count reporting**. The software frequently reports the wrong number of labels remaining on a roll, which defeats the entire purpose of having that feature at all. You can’t rely on it, so you end up manually checking anyway. To make matters worse, **documentation is minimal and unhelpful**. When you run into problems, there’s little guidance on how the software is actually intended to be used, leaving you to figure things out through trial and error or online forums. Bottom line: The LabelWriter 550 itself is capable hardware, but the software feels unfinished, unintuitive, and poorly supported. If you only print occasional single labels, it might be tolerable. If you rely on mailing lists, CSV imports, or frequent label runs, be prepared for a lot of frustration. DYMO really needs to invest in fixing their software—because right now, it’s the weak link that drags this product down.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I cannot use my own labels? Terible**
A: The labels have an RFID tag on the inside of the roll. If you buy a roll of dymo brand, take the tag out, and put it inside/near the reader then you can use your own labels.

**Q: Am i forced to buy dymo-brand labels for this printer?**
A: Dear Mojo, this is Vernie from DYMO Consumer Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our LabelWriter 550 Turbo.

Please be informed that the LabelWriter 550 Turbo would work together with genuine DYMO-branded labels only.

**Q: Can I use my older genuine Dymo labels that don't have the big brother chip in them?**
A: No, the 550 doesn't detect new out of the box DYMO 30327 labels that i used in other LabelWriter.

**Q: I use the 450 in my retail business to print pricing labels that are 1" X 1.5" in size. Does the 550 recognize these labels?**
A: Hello, this is Kasia from DYMO Consumer Care. Thank you for your interest in our product. I would like to inform you that the DYMO LabelWriter 550 printer operates only with original DYMO labels. The original DYMO label with size 1" x 1 1/2" has SKU no 30347.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than expected
*by A***G on March 20, 2025*

I previously had a Dymo label writer that finally conked out, so I decided to upgrade to the Dymo LabelWriter 550. Before purchasing, I saw a lot of negative reviews about the software being difficult to install and the setup process being frustrating. Honestly, I was a bit concerned. That said, I’m generally not great at setting up devices, yet I found this to be an absolute breeze. I followed the instructions, making sure to install the software completely before connecting the printer, as emphasized in the manual. Perhaps this is where others ran into issues, but for me, the setup was simple and straightforward. The printer itself works perfectly—clean, sharp labels every time. Some may find it frustrating that it requires Dymo-branded labels, but I don’t see that as a major downside. I bought a pack of 700 labels for $21, which will likely last me a lifetime. Overall, I highly recommend the Dymo LabelWriter 550. If you follow the setup instructions carefully, you should have no problems, and you’ll end up with a fantastic label printer that works seamlessly.
