No, their sizes vary based on the type of label. For example, DYMO offers pre-sized labels, pre-sized heat-shrink tube, and other label types in various different widths and lengths. Refer to the individual XTL label pages for more information on each of the label types and their recommended applications.

The XTL label maker will let you know when the XTL cartridge is running low on labels. An electronic chip is embedded in the side of each XTL label cartridge. The chip contains information that is read by the label maker and DYMO® ID™ software. Once a cartridge is inserted, the XTL label maker will automatically recognize the label size, color and type, and will inform the user immediately what applications are compatible with the cartridge at hand.

The following information ONLY applies to DYMO label printers that use direct thermal printing technology. Currently, this includes all LabelWriter™ printers, LabelManager™, LetraTag and Rhino series label makers. When stored properly, DYMO labels will have a shelf life of several years. When used in an office environment, printed labels will remain legible for over a year. The following conditions may cause labels to darken or the text to fade: exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent light for an extended period of time, exposure to high temperatures for an extended period of time, contact with PVC film or vinyl containing plasticizers.

No, the XTL label cartridges use a thermal transfer printing process. Inside the cartridge is a ribbon that contains thermal ink that transfers to the tape when you print.
