With run.events and Dymo LabelWriter Printers, event organizers now have an economical badging solution compared to outsourcing badge printing. This approach could save significant amounts of money to the event organizers year after year, event after event.

 

Event organizers appreciate the Dymo LabelWriter printers for their impressive cost-effectiveness, affordable labels, and no requirement for ink or other consumables. These printers are built to last, promising long-term reliability. Organizers can use pre-printed badge templates that accommodate event identity, design and general information, which is then filled using labels with attendee information printed by the Dymo LabelWriter.

run.events supports all Dymo LabelWriter series printers, irrespective of the label size being used. Although run.events is compatible with every Dymo LabelWriter model, ensure you check if your LabelWriter model supports the label sizes that you want to use.

Integrating Dymo LabelWriter Printers with run.events eliminates the need for extra badge printing software, streamlining the badge production process. There's no requirement to export attendee data from run.events to any external platforms or systems; the system directly communicates with the printer for immediate badge production.

All these features position run.events as a preferred choice for organizers aiming for an affordable, attractive, and straightforward badge printing solution.

After purchasing a Dymo LabelWriter printer, a driver installation guide will walk you through the setup. Though the drivers typically come with the printer, you can always access the newest driver version at: https://runevents.club/dymodrivers
