Those people are going to be disappointed. Dymo’s latest generation of desktop label printers use RFID chips to authenticate the labels that Dymo’s customers put in their printers. This lets Dymo’s products distinguish between Dymo’s official labels and third-party consumables. That way, the printers can force their owners to conduct themselves in the ways that serve the interests of Dymo’s corporate owners - even when that is to the owners’ own detriment.

It’s because their label paper sucks ass and is outperformed even by generic label paper. Run the printer too long in one sitting and the heat will cause the edges of the labels to curl upward as they come off the spool, which will then roll into a firm sticky mess in an area that isn’t easily accessible for cleaning.

package discussing labels like my girlfriend discusses clothing. I guess that sometimes everything in the world does make sense for a brief second.
