do waste your money on other bands. will with the money.
The nylon tapes are excellent for flexible applications. They stay put very well. I have not really tested how durable the vinyl tapes are for outdoor use. I hope to report by January. P-Touch can't even begin to compare. Not even in the same league. If you need robust labeling specially for cables Rhino is the solution.
The labeler is good, but the software will not run on Vista x64. Also, it is near impossible to contact Technical Support at Dymo, and when you manage to, they are indifferent and arrogant.
I'm a low-voltage custom installer and have gone through two of these 6000's at a rate of about one per year. The cutter screws up, or doesn't feed properly. I wish they would make one at a higher price point that would be more reliable. Also, everyone knows an "asdf" keyboard would be faster.
This product is almost there they have a bunch of versitle lables and shrink wrap, this is teriffic. I got this to replace my brother p-touch but it can't quite do that. Dymo has a better varity of lables but not much in clear. Also there lables don't hold up as well meaning that on the shrink wrap the lettering has come off several high ware areas and is sentive to heat it seems to melt the inc. My brother I would print the lable and shrinkwrap clear over it I figured the dymo would save a step. But printing only on one side, no trext wraping and durability issues this is not realy cutting it. Also the printing is not easy, it usally takes me two or three lables to get it right, what I wast. It will not print small, you can't read it basically the letters do not print, this is a real bummer. Also I want to use the entire with of the tape and in most cases can't I have to Fool the machine by telling it you have a wider tape in it and guessing at the font size to fill the tape. I think they do this because if you buy for example 1/2" tapes they are not quite 1/2" all the time. They vary up to about 1/8" +-. Overall the machine is well built but not the product I had hoped for.
I've had two of these units, the first one lasted for about 8 months and then the cutter jammed and would not recover. Sent it in for warranty, got a replacement in about two weeks. Had the replacement for 5 months and the cutter jammed (again), so now I'm out all the money I spent on tape cartridges. Purchased a similar competitors model (manual cutter) and find it works more consistently. I need a unit that I can rely on for my day to day work in complex communications sites. If Dymo would make a Rhino 6000 with a manual cutter (I need the 1" tape size) I would certainly get another one but the motorized cutter cannot be relied on.
On the surface this seemed like the perfect label maker. For quite a while I was looking for an excuse to buy one. After putting up with the cutter errors on my existing printer, I decided to buy one for a larger job. It lived up to all the hype with quick formatting of labels and general ease of use. Unfortunately it's not possible to print fixed-length labels without doing some manual trimming with scissors. This applies to almost every label format. For example, when printing panel labels, labeling 2 ports per label, if you're labeling 200 ports, that's 100 labels you have to manually trim with scissors. With my old printer, it would pause and cut in the appropriate place between labels. The Rhino printers leave a leader at EVERRY CUT that you must trim manually. This is not user error either, as I confirmed with tech support, as well as their engineering department (via a trade show rep) that this is in fact how the printers work. I would definitely NOT buy another one.
We purchased a Rhino 6000 kit in order to label the networking components for a new residential building. The unit was tested prior to use, and once on mains power, was found to compentantly print legible labels on self-laminating tapes. However, once the unit was brought to the site, where mains power was not available, it was found to not perform as advertised - reliably printing labels on-site. The labeller must remain on mains power in order to print clear labels, something which was not possible at the time. We would not recommend this item to others.
Bought two. Only lasted one year. Both cutters broke.
