~~{{Paragraph}}~~ Dymo

[[Dymo|Dymo Corporation]] is an American manufacturing company of handheld label printers and thermal-transfer printing tape as accessory, embossing tape label makers, and other printers such as CD and DVD labelers and durable medical equipment.

The company is a subsidiary of Newell Brands.

== Controversies ==

The Dymo LabelWriter 550 Turbo and other 500 series label printers have introduced a controversial feature: [[DRM]] (Digital Rights Management) via RFID tags in their consumables.[1][2] Affected printers come with "Automatic Label Recognition™", a marketing term that translates to DRM implementation in thermal labels. This system restricts users to purchasing only Dymo-branded labels, potentially increasing costs and limiting consumer choice. This move has sparked frustration among users and prompted the hacking community to develop workarounds.[3][4]

In response to this, an open-source solution to remove the restrictions has been developed.[5]
