History
Dymo Industries, Inc. was founded in 1958 to produce handheld tools that use embossing tape. The embossing tape and handheld plastic embossing labeler was invented by David Souza from Oakland, California.
The company was acquired by Esselte in 1978 and battery-powered printers became a major product after 1990. The corporation was sold to Newell Rubbermaid in 2005.
Label sizes
Following is a list of the label sizes popular for their LabelWriter (400, 450) printer series:
Criticism
The LabelWriter 550 and 5XL has a RFID reader that reads RFID tags embedded in Dymo genuine label rolls to automatically detect the label type inside. However, this is also to prevent the use of third-party compatible label rolls, a form of digital rights management similar to inkjet printer cartridges and laser printer cartridges containing a chip to prevent the designing and manufacturing of third-party cartridges. Dymo has received criticism for using a razor and blades model by forcing customers to purchase genuine Dymo label rolls.
