18445 (2-pack)

I had the opportunity to use these after the official labels that came with the printer ran out. After about two days in a damp, cold environment, the name brand labels were unwrapping, these stayed tight. Cheaper and better. Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure this one out.

Prints just like the original

I had an issue with the 3/4" labels where the very first label I printed wound itself around the printer's drive roller. It was a bit of a mess, and took some carefully applied brute strength to undo. The 3/4" labels on that cartridge have run fine since then. It may be that the first couple of inches need to be cut off before loading the cartridge into the printer. Overall, they seem to be a great option over the name brand labels. Oh, definitely try the shrink tubing. I was skeptical, but am now a believer!

Product was poor. Label material was off white in color. Printing was dull instead of vibrant black and the back of the tape was not split and it was near impossible to separate the backing from the vinyl tape. Product was not usable and I returned it to the seller.

No noticeable difference from the Dymo tape my label maker came with at only 1/3 the price. I have purchased 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 sizes. 1/2 is the sweet spot for general use. 3/4 is good for large items and labels you want to see from a distance. 3/8 is best for small things like spice jars. I use it professionally as an installer but have since found uses all over the home and office.

These work great and I get 3 packs for the same price of one DYMO catridge!

Like others have written, the 3/4" labels do not print well. There are gaps in the printing due to the ultra thin printing ribbon having wrinkles and the removable backing crease in the dead center of the product. I tried pre-tightening the ribbon, re-printing the label 4-5x, and I didn't get a single label to print perfectly after numerous attempts. For the very few labels that I said were "good enough", I found that they were delaminating from the cables less than 24 hours later. These will be returned. Its not worth the discounted price. The OEM product is far superior. For what its worth, I purchased the 1/2" labels as well and didn't experience the same troubles printing troubles. Time will tell for the adhesive.

Took a chance and only ordered the two pack. Not nearly as dark a print as an OEM cartridge.But if they get better, down in the roll, Would probably buy again.Will report back.
