Where the manual labelers press the characters into the tape with a punch and die, their project uses a dot-matrix approach. The product of collaborators and and undertaken as a project for their digital media program, the only thing the labeler has in common with the Dymos of old is the tape. This Dymo dot-matrix label maker bears no resemblance to our long-lost label blaster, but it’s pretty cool in its own right. Plus the things look like space guns, so there would have been a lot of pew-pewing too. With its spinny daisy-wheel to choose a character and its squeezy handle to emboss the letter into the plastic tape, there would follow a period of going nuts kerchunking out misspelled labels and slapping them on everything. For a five-year-old future Hackaday scribe, there could be no greater day than that on which a Dymo label maker appeared in the house.
