"Are you well organized? Do you have a garage full of well-labeled bins or a
pantry full of neatly labeled jars? Do you ship a lot of stuff and print
labels? If so, you probably own and cherish your label maker. What’s not to
like?

Well, if you’re a Dymo label maker owner, there’s a new scam that might
convince you to switch brands - if it doesn’t scare you off labels altogether,
that is.

For a certain kind of corporate executive, the printer business is a source of
endless temptation. After all, printers go through lots of “consumables.” That
means that printer manufacturers don’t just get to sell you a printer, they
also have a chance to sell you ink, forever."
