True Image TY813 Thermal Label Printer vs DYMO LabelWriter 5XL

The DYMO LabelWriter 5XL is the better printer for steady, high-volume shipping and warehouse work. It prints at 300 dpi, so barcodes and fine text scan more reliably, and its Automatic Label Recognition tells you the label size and how many are left. The True Image TY813 is the simpler pick for light-to-moderate sellers who want Bluetooth printing from a phone and wide label support. Owners rate the True Image higher (4.8 from 32 ratings) than the DYMO (4.2 from 82), but the DYMO sample is larger and its software and build are more established.

• Choose the True Image TY813 if you print occasional 4x6 labels, want Bluetooth from a phone or tablet, and need to handle label widths from 1.57 to 4.1 inches.
• Choose the DYMO LabelWriter 5XL if you ship in volume, need 300 dpi barcodes and LAN networking, and want the printer to track label size and remaining stock.
