Dymo LabelWriter 550 Turbo and other 500 series label printers have introduced a controversial feature: DRM (Digital Rights Management) via RFID tags in their consumables. This move has sparked frustration among users and prompted the hacking community to develop workarounds. Affected printers come with "Automatic Label Recognition™," a marketing term that translates to DRM implementation in thermal stickers. This system restricts users to purchasing only Dymo-branded labels, potentially increasing costs and limiting consumer choice.

In response to this an open source solution to remove the restrictions has been developed.
