My first Dymo 1978 I got paid. That was quality! If I had not broken down at a young inquiring minds often, it would still shape perfectly today. So I have, after all, a painful comparison possibility, as some things are being developed for the worse.
The Omega is simply unmanageable: The device works harder than the old one, also coining requires much more force. The roll of tape is no longer simply pinned, she rattles loose behind a flap that is aufzukriegen only with your fingernails. So one does not see how much tape is still on it.
And Dymo has tried unmistakably to make faster the empty reels ... Compared to before the character spacing has become considerably larger. This not only looks bad. As fits Your name on no Klingelschild more.
And the form: I would not have believed it if I had not even tried it! Therefore, I have two photos of test imprints uploaded, say it all.
Here, therefore, only in brief:
The characters dance merrily on the tape, sometimes over the line, sometimes far away from the previous letters.
And the new font also looks ugly. It is reminiscent of the machine-readable characters of the first generation (... OCR-A, do you remember?). For technical reasons, is for each letter the band is equally moved, whether I or W. In the ancient writing was not particularly on. When new it more so.
In my old Dymo device I bent a few embossing plates as a child and the verschlampt pressure spring. That's why I ever wanted to buy a new me. Still, I can therefore still create labels neater than with the new Omega!
So there is no doubt that it did not go better with these devices. Or that I did not know how to operate such a thing. But are ignorant of the non-Dymo more how to build such a thing!
Since I had tried, nor raise embossing tapes (which are no longer to get so far in any stationery store). Had not purchased any additional a nameless Billigteil, but the more expensive by the original manufacturer. And then as a fiasco. After half an hour I was really just frustrated.
Why does Dymo so a proven marking system, which is for a particular purpose is still better and cheaper than anything else, so wantonly broken ???
