Yes, October is here and with it brings the prospect of autumn, and also a new Comms Express competition!

Our great friends at DYMO have just launched a wonderful new range, the XTL Labelmaker. As you know, DYMO are one of the largest manufacturers of handheld label makers and label printers, and as such quality is of paramount importance to them an XTL range continues that tradition.

This great product from DYMO is a light duty solution, perfect for labelling up items around the house or office. You can simply type text, format it with one-touch Smart Keys and print – it’s that easy to create professional-looking labels in and around the office. As we have come to expect from DYMO, the LabelManager 160 is easy to us and with its ability to print 2 lines of wording and label across or downwards this is a winner for both home users and businesses alike!

The XTL Labelmaker 300 & 500 is the new industrial unit on the block. With WYSIWYG on-screen print preview, the XTL shows exactly how labels will look when applied to cables, pipes and more. Built-in label applications make getting started easy, and a colour touch screen makes positioning text, barcodes and images on labels faster. A variety of pre-loaded label templates ensure perfect formatting to save time; allowing you to print pre-sized and continuous labels from 6 mm up to 54 mm, including safety signage, and heat-shrink tubes in a full range of UL-rated materials and colours. It also features PC connectivity*and free DYMO ID software for importing data directly from Microsoft Excel or databases.
