Saw these while passing a bargain bin at Officeworks Milton (QLD) yesterday and didn't really think anything more of them… that was until I realised they included two tape cassettes worth $36 each let alone the value of the printer itself! As per the description in the link: "This starter pack includes the LabelManager Label Maker, 1 black on white D1 label cassette 12 mm x 7 m and 1 black on yellow D1 label cassette 12 mm x 7 m" If purchased separately these items total a whopping $162.17 so yes I consider this to be a bit of a bargain ;)
The individual items included are exactly as follows:
- Label Maker @ $88.91 - http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/dymo-labelm…
- D1 Black on White Tape Cartridge @ $36.63 - http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/dymo-d1-12m…
- D1 Black on Yellow Tape Cartridge @ $36.63 - http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/dymo-d1-12m…
I have one of these machines at work and find it very handy to have permanently connected to my PC. Simply connect it to a spare USB port and the device will appear as a new drive letter within seconds. Click the executable within that drive letter and the label making program appears (note: nothing actually installs!). It's a very simplistic program but makes printing multiple labels a breeze. Baffling as to why it has an internal battery though because these are useless when disconnected from the USB port. Maybe just a way of offering the grunt when required. Strange… but they work very well nevertheless.
Checked a few other states and there seems to be stock available all over the place! Go get one :)
Jesus, another thing I will hardly ever use but have to buy.
