Hi Group,
I have noticed that a lot of what is supposedly dymo tape is pretty
lousy these days. But if you get the real Dymo Tape as in the original
stuff, it still works well. Some of the generic stuff is very thin and
doesn't stay put very long. Office Depot still has the 'real thing.'
If you have one of these stores near you, check it out.
