# Printer Recommendations

Review recommended DYMO label printers for printing Monolith Evidence, Storage, and other supported labels.

Monolith supports DYMO label printers for printing labels from supported records throughout the platform.

Use the printer models below as recommended options when setting up a new Monolith labeling workflow.

### Recommended DYMO Printers

#### DYMO LabelWriter 550 Turbo

The **DYMO LabelWriter 550 Turbo** is a good general-purpose option for organizations printing standard Monolith labels.

It is well suited for common Evidence, Storage, and other labeling workflows where a compact desktop label printer is appropriate.

#### DYMO LabelWriter 5XL

The **DYMO LabelWriter 5XL** supports larger label formats and may be useful for organizations that need additional space for item information, barcodes, QR codes, or other label content.

### Before Purchasing a Printer

Consider the label sizes and amount of information your organization plans to print.

Monolith label templates can include information such as:

* Evidence or Storage identifiers
* Item details
* QR codes
* Barcodes
* Organization-specific label content

The best printer for your organization depends on the physical label format you plan to use.

### Printer Setup

After selecting a printer, install DYMO Connect and confirm that the printer can successfully print from the computer before configuring it for Monolith.

See [**DYMO Label Printers**](/monolith/using-monolith/hardware-integrations/dymo-label-printers.md) for installation, connection, and troubleshooting guidance.

See [**Item Labels**](/monolith/using-monolith/settings/item-labels.md) for information about building Monolith label templates and using QR codes or barcodes.
