DYMO LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo — Two Label Rolls in One Printer
Two Roll Bays300 dpi Direct Thermal71 Labels per MinuteUSB, No Ink or Toner
The DYMO LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo is a desktop label printer with two side-by-side label mechanisms in a single unit, so you can keep two different label types loaded and switch between them in software, or load two identical rolls and let the printer change over automatically when the first runs out. It is supplied under part number S0838870, prints 300 dpi direct thermal at up to 71 labels per minute and connects over USB to Windows and macOS.
For a despatch desk or a mailroom this removes the most annoying interruption in label printing: swapping rolls. Address labels in one bay, shipping or barcode labels in the other, and no ink, toner or ribbon to buy on either side. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This printer takes DYMO LabelWriter label rolls up to 62 mm media width, with a 56 mm maximum print width, in both bays. Connection is USB only — there is no Ethernet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so it must be attached to a computer or shared from one. Unlike DYMO's current 550 series, the 450 Twin Turbo does not require chipped Authentic DYMO rolls, so older and third-party rolls still work. It is no longer part of DYMO's current line-up, and the current 550 range has no twin-bay model.

Key Features
Two Roll Bays, No Reloading
Two side-by-side label mechanisms let you keep two label types loaded at once and pick one in software, or load two identical rolls so the printer carries on automatically when the first is finished.
71 Labels a Minute, Direct Thermal
No ink, no toner, no ribbon: the print head marks the label stock directly. A four-line address label prints in well under a second, at 300 dpi with a 300 x 600 dpi graphics mode for barcodes.
56 mm Print Width for Shipping Labels
Media up to 62 mm wide with a 56 mm print area covers address, large address, shipping, file folder, name badge and barcode label formats from DYMO's LabelWriter roll range.
Windows and macOS Over USB
A single USB 2.0 connection and DYMO Connect for Desktop, with Word, Excel and Outlook integration for mail-merge runs straight from a spreadsheet or address book.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Twin Turbo" mean on the LabelWriter 450?
It means two side-by-side label mechanisms inside one printer. You can keep two different label types loaded and choose between them in software, or load two identical rolls so printing continues automatically when the first roll runs out.
Does the LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo use ink or toner?
No. It is a direct-thermal printer: the print head marks heat-sensitive label stock directly, so the only consumable is the label roll itself.
Does it need Authentic DYMO chipped rolls?
No. The chip requirement applies to DYMO's newer 550-series printers. The 450 Twin Turbo accepts non-chipped LabelWriter rolls.
What should I know before buying the LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo?
It is USB-only and needs a host computer, and it is no longer in DYMO's current range — there is no twin-bay model in the LabelWriter 550 line. If two loaded rolls is the feature you want, this is the printer that does it.
Singular Expert Insight
The Twin Turbo solves a small problem that costs real time in a despatch operation: every roll change is an interruption, and a mailroom changes rolls often. Two bays means either two label types always ready or twice the run length before anyone touches the printer. If you print occasionally, a single-bay LabelWriter is cheaper and does the same 300 dpi work — see our
label printers range. For pallet labels, wide shipping labels or volume barcode output, step up to a dedicated
barcode printer instead.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You print labels all day, you want two label types loaded at once or double the run length before a roll change, and a USB connection to one host computer is fine.
Skip it if
You print occasionally, or you need network or wireless printing. A single-bay LabelWriter costs less for the same 300 dpi output, and this model is USB-only.
Also consider
A single-bay DYMO LabelWriter for lighter use, or the LabelWriter 450 Duo if you also want DYMO D1 tape from the same desktop printer.
