DYMO RHINO 5200

Whether you are printing wire flags or heat shrink wire labels this label machine is worth the extra cost. It works well with very little instruction needed. The menus allow you to easily choose the type of label and your text size and direction. My control panels look much more professional using these labels. Features like auto numbering and patch panel printing allow me to complete the labels faster than I have in the past. Whatever industry you are in, there is likely a label function built into this machine for your needs.

Note : this version is bare bones, no charger, no lithium battery ... as I expected. (includes one cartridge.) This is a replacement for my older one which is going on 10 years and power up has recently been intermittent, but working most of the time. A pretty well made device .. works well with the OEM Labels. My only issues in 10 yrs have been with faulty OEM label cartridges. I have case, charger and battery left from the older unit.

As part of my company’s initiative for LEAN, this was purchased to further the need for refinement and continuous improvement. We have used this to barcode label mission critical applications in the warehouse and anywhere else in need of clarification. The non-qwerty keyboard is a bit frustrating to use at first but over time it becomes less cumbersome. The interface for finding symbols is not intuitive. There is a learning curve and a bit of experimentation is needed to understand the nuances of the device. The package came with label stock and some additional non-oem label stock was purchased. The OEM label stock worked perfectly in the device. There were no traceable skips in printing. 3/4” label stock is the perfect size for what we’re doing and is visible with very little effort. The package came with 1/2” stock as well and proved to be useful but not to the degree of the 3/4”. The non-oem label stock did encounter intermittent label printing skips and streaks. Although a bit disappointing the quality was satisfactory to a degree. Adhesion of both label stocks has been well received and to date, no labels have been reported to fall, shear off, or get destroyed. Our IT department has been using the printer to record IP addresses on each workstation for their purposes and with the dirt and grime the labels encounter every day, they have held up remarkably well. I’m sure we will have to relabel on occasion but from what I have seen, it will be on a case by case basis and not a carte blanche relabeling effort. With the unit being built for the “warehouse life” I can say the unit has still functioned after being dropped numerous times. Although the plastic feels rigid to the touch, it has proven itself to be strong enough to withstand the daily use by our LEAN warehouse staff. Scuffs, scrapes, drops, and breaks are rarely avoidable but I believe this unit is up to the challenge based on what I’ve seen. Overall a good product even though it is one of DYMO’s lower cost alternatives. Still believe the frustration of the UI being implemented and the keyboard design was an interesting decision made by their developer team, issues aside, the device functions and performs as desired and advertised.

I'll start out by saying that I really like the labels that this creates. I've purchased a few different tapes, including 2 different heat shrink cartridges, and they all work really well. This has the ability to do patch panels and punchdowns and it manages all the real estate on the label. It also has symbols and is overall pretty versatile. I like the device a lot. I would have probably given this 5 stars except for the battery. I saw another commenter say that the rechargeable battery doesn't fit. It does fit but it's weird in that it goes in at the opposite direction of the AA batteries, if you use those. I understand how the confusion gets created as there are really no instructions. My complaint is that the battery doesn't charge. I'm guessing the battery is defective at some level. It seems to charge a tiny bit but never gets above one bar. Then, as I'm using it, it might go up to two bars for a few minutes and then back down. Update on March 15: As I've used this (and left it charging) over the past several days the battery indicator has eventually started to show higher charge. It's not that the battery ever died - it may have been fully charged - but the indicator showed no charge or maybe one bar. It's a little weird but the thing seems OK now and it works great on lots of label types. I've used labels and shrink tube, I've used wire, cable, general and patch panel settings. All work really nicely.

Works awesome and perfect for shop stuff/organizing/automotive Very very user friendly, im the least techy person there is and I had this up and running in less than 1 minute. Comes with 110 plug, a rechargeable battery pack, AND ACCEPTS AA battery. Very well thought out and heavy duty!

Love it! Once you learn how to navigate through its menus, it works like a charm. Also, the beauty of it is that you could order 3 cartridges of shrink tube for about $20.

Me parece muy buen producto ya qué tiene varias opciones para etiquetas

The label maker suits my needs perfectly. It is fast, quiet and the battery lasts for weeks on end. The printing is clear and can be cutomised in size, font and location on the label. The default printing position is right in the center of the label - which, when printing a longer label often leaves a noticeable but very thin line where the backing paper has been cut to allow it to removed. This line can be minimised/avoided with a little bit of formatting. It works really really really well on heatshrink labels. The keyboard is in alphabetical order which I thought would be a real pain but after printing a few labels it was ok. Just took a little bit of getting used to. Very happy with my purchase.

*update: Attached a photo of what the actual 3 line, 3/4 inch label looks like. Weird line across the middle with a slight misalignment on the 3rd line. FYI, this label maker just comes with 1x 3/4inch black on white vinyl cartridge and nothing else. No hard case, no rechargeable battery pack, no 3 piece cartridge variety pack. Works like it should, although the arrow buttons aren’t as responsive as the rest of the buttons. But that’s just me nitpicking. Great stuff.

Buena funcionalidad y relación calidad precio
