RS Components has introduced a new range of DYMO labelling products to help engineers, maintenance/ workshop personnel, equipment builders and users create professional-looking labels for a whole raft of different applications.
The new DYMO MobileLabeler can be used to easily create custom labels from a smartphone, tablet, Mac or Windows computer using the free DYMO Connect app. Its Bluetooth connectivity offers fast setup and interaction with remote devices, while features such as spell check and voice-to-text help reduce errors and save time. A wide variety of borders and fonts – including those from popular font libraries – gives users the ability to create accurate, easy-to-read labels of various styles up to 24 mm wide.
The DYMO MobileLabeler is supplied with an AC adaptor to charge the onboard rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a USB cable, and a quick start guide. It also comes with a D1 starter label cassette (24 mm x 3 m black on white), but users can also purchase from a comprehensive range of D1 labels, including the new D1 Durable labels from RS.
D1 Durable labels exploit an industrial-strength adhesive to help ensure that labels stay stuck to a variety of surfaces. Suitable for indoor or outdoor application, they are water resistant and can withstand UV light, heat, humidity, freezing conditions and a wide range of general solvents. They are also made from scratch- and tear-resistant material, so maintain their legibility for longer, even in the most demanding engineering environment. Suitable for the MobileLabeler printers, they are available in black text on white background, black on orange, white on red and white on black.
