This is a very good product. Prints fast and almost the instant you push the print button. Even though I was only looking for a single printer for printing postage, I opted for the twin as I figured I would find many more uses of this product after owning it for a while since there are so many label choices available and didn't want to be bothered changing label rolls all the time. It didn't take long to realize I made the right choice. I've already found many more uses than I anticipated and the list is growing. Having the second side makes it easier since I can leave the stamps in one side and other labels in the other side.\n\nI've read the complaints from others about the dymo stamps postage options for this printer so I will shed some light on it. Dymo stamps offer a free account with no monthly service charge that allows you to print stamps and postage for flat rate boxes, packages up to 13oz, large envelopes, letters and postcards. It works very well, the free account just doesn't allow you to print specific amounts for packages weighing over 13oz unless you are using flat rate boxes. So it's a basic postage service. If you upgrade to the Standard account, which carries a monthly charge, you may print variable amounts and also add tracking information plus some other features. Personally, the free account works perfect for me. For the basic dymo stamps account you may only print postage on the smaller stamps labels and the paid accounts allow you to print postage on any shipping label as well. When purchasing stamp labels for the free account, only purchase dymo brand as they now require you to register each roll of stamp labels with your account and the dymo brand have the registration number printed on the backing paper from the roll. So stay away from the cheaper replacements. Plus, if you misprint a stamp, dymo will refund your account for the postage used and they only do this with authentic dymo stamp labels. The printer comes with a stamp starter roll of 50 and address labels. The roll that came with my machine didn't have a registration number on the back even though they are dymo, but a quick call to dymo stamps and they took care of it by allowing me to print 50 before being prompted for a registration number. I purchased a new roll that has it on there so when I run out of the starters, I'll be good to go. Be aware that some of the previous model printers such as the labelwriter 400 can be found at a decent price but require a software upgrade costing $50 to print postage. So I recommend sticking with the newer models like this one.\nThere is no off button on the printer, so be aware that there are blue lights on the front that illuminate all the time, which I find annoying but not a big deal unless the printer is in your bedroom. I love the fact that it doesn't use any ink, which is a big plus. The software for the printer is very simple and easy to learn in just a few minutes but also has many features, allowing you to even customize your labels with pictures or logos and different fonts. It even has an option to click on that will check to make sure the address you typed in is accurate and will correct it for you. It will add that funny postal barcode to the label so that it goes through the mail system more accurately. When you use a roll of labels for the first time, make sure you pull off and discard the first few labels that have adhesive from the tape on them to avoid gumming up the printer. All in all, I am very impressed with this product and hope it continues to serve us well.
