DYMO Omega Home Embossing Label Maker Machine - Create Custom Labels for Organizing, Crafting & Home Office Use

Used to label storage bins works wellIt was really tricky to set up and actually start using it. This was also my first time using something like this. It’s been several months now since I’ve bought it and it’s super easy to use. Of course it took me almost an hour to figure it outLabel tool box drawsPresent for grandchildworks, easy to use, sturdy. cannot attest to its longevity as I just got itDo not waste $30 on the omega model. Buy the Office Mate II instead. The quality of the omega is the same as the $10 model and not like the pictures at all. The letters were small and did not take up the full height of the label as advertised in the last photo, the letters are also uneven/not level with eachother. Should not be $30 if it's equal in quality with the cheap one.Very difficult to use - after I printed out my name it broke. useless!If you don’t make a million labels, why pay a fortune for something complicated. My last one lasted probably 15 years before I lost it in a move. This one is working great and for the price, it’s the one to get.IS YOUR'S BROKEN. Ours stopped cutting and embossing. I read a lot of reviews on here and figured it's life was up. Not true. Quick google search for instructions and how to's revealed the attached. How you would notice the dial is slightly off centre without being informed!!! Realigned the dial as the top and bottom sections move as per the visual. WORKS FINE NOW :)Nachdem ich die Bewertungen gelesen habe, war ich skeptisch. Da ich aber unbedingt Etikettenprägen wollte und es so gut wie keine Alternativen gibt, habe ich bestellt. Das Gerät kam und .... es ging natürlich nicht. Recherche im Netz führte nur zu Videos mit Leuten die lustig und leicht Etiketten prägten. Bei mir tat sich nichts, feste prägen wie vorher angesprochen half nichts. Am nächsten Tag ging die Recherche im Netz weiter und ich wurde fündig. Die Erklärung und Lösung so einfach, dass man auch alleine hätte drauf kommen können :)Geprägt wird indem die Folie zwischen zwei 'Formen' oder Platten gedrückt wird (oben und unten, positv/negativ) Diese müssen übereinander liegen sonst geht es nicht. Das Feld für das Leerzeichen ist breiter als die Buchstabenfelder. Dies habe ich zur Seite gedreht und gesehen, dass bei meinem Gerät die Prägeplatten nicht übereinander lagen. Von Hand die Platten neu ausgerichtet .......und siehe das es ging ganz leicht und gut. Ich danke dem weltweiten Netz und gehöre jetzt auch zu den glücklichen Besitzern eines Dymo Etikettenprägegeräts. Es prägt leicht und gut und bestimmt auch lange.DYMO LABEL MAKER (not junior)I do really like my dymo label maker because of how the label looks, it’s aesthetically pleasing, really really neat and I love the style. I will continue to use it, but I do think it could be so much better. Overall the label maker itself is just pretty old school. It comes with 1 reel of BLACK tape (white characters), already installed in the machine. You spin the dial to select your character, then pull the handle to emboss the label, it automatically moves over to the next space for your next letter, you don’t have to do this manually ?. To finish you spin the dial to the picture of the scissors and you pull the handle to cut. The label will fly out the machine too. It’s easy but quite time consuming and you have to make sure you pull the handle quite hard to emboss the label, if you suffer with arthritis or and joint conditions I wouldn’t recommend. I did do it too lightly as it still made a click noise so I thought it would be fine but it didn’t print properly (pictured)The characters available is:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ£ÄÖÜ€1234567890.,-/@ [space button] [cut button]It has a little tab you peel the backing off of the label easily. I wouldn’t say the adhesive is super sticky, but it seems to fix to most surfaces/materials (I’m using mine for labelling storage, belongings and crafting). I am unsure as to whether it’ll stay put on something that’ll be washed regularly with water (ie lunch box) but will do this and update later. The material of the label is waterproof though ?DISLIKES: Why the F is there not an apostrophe available?! There’s a comma. But not an apostrophe, weird. Also there is no “+” sign which is annoying but there is a “/“ which kind of replaces the +. But it bugs me nonetheless.I managed to make a few labels, about 40? And it’s already ran out so the reel of tape its quite short. Boo. £8 on amazon to get 5 replacement reels.The length from the start of the label to the first letter, and the lack of length from the last letter to the end of the label. If you cut immediately after the last letter, there’s not much space between the last letter and the end of the label. If you input a [space] after the last letter it’s longer than the length you get from the start of the label to the first letter (pictured).I love my little simple Dymo machine. Ok, it has a few issues- like sometimes slipping out of sync and needing to be "fixed" but all you have to do is figure out how much it is out by, and hold the underside dial while adjusting the top. Its an easy fix. Also, sometimes the odd letter won't print properly. I find doing a few of that particular affected letter in a row fixes that- not sure why. But yes, overall it works well and is a reliable label maker. The spacing between the letters can be a bit much at times, but I think it adds to the labels charm. I have used my label maker on just about everything in my house, from my filing cabinet, to my spice jars, and i can't say I'm finished yet. I also regularly use it with crafting and scrapbooking, so there is loads to do with it, and the variety of pretty refills you can buy. If this truly broke and I was unable to fix it (doubtful due to its simplicity, but still) I would definitely buy another one.Ci viene consegnata in una piccola scatola di cartone che nel suo interno troviamo ben sigillata in una confezione di plastica trasparente ermetica (vedi foto) la nostra cara Etichettatrice, per aprirla fate molto attenzione armandovi di un coltello a seghetto e tagliare nei lati!Innanzitutto è completa di nastro biadesivo e librettino d'istruzione ben comprensibile, è meccanica e si presenta leggera, di facile utilizzo ed intuitivo ma delicata se si esercita una forza più del dovuto emettendo scricchiolii fino ad arrivare ad una sua rottura!La rotella alfanumerica va ruotata fino al carattere desiderato da stampare facendolo entrare nella finestra, faccio notare che mancano i caratteri accentati ed apostrofo penalizzando così chi né avrà bisogno!Il pulsante per stampigliare va premuto in modo deciso per imprimere bene il carattere facendolo risaltare alla perfezione ed alcune volte i caratteri non sono allineati!La scritta che man mano viene fuori, una volta completato il tutto, si può tagliare facilmente con il simbolo delle forbici ed ha su un lato un pretaglio che torna utile per poter staccare la pellicola che copre la parte adesiva!
