My company bought one copy of Mail Factory for evaluation.
The verdict? A waste of money! I find it hard to believe that this developer has created a labeling program that cannot handle industry standard tape labels!
As a number of people have commented here, compatability is a real issue for users of labeling devices. The fact that Mail Factory completely ignores this issue is simply incredible.
Needless to say, Mail Factory has now been officially vetoed by my organisation.

Can't even handle tape labels - levinedr
I found this comment over-the-top harsh and the 1-star rating ridicuous. I mean cars suck because they can't fly, right? OTH, I also thought BeLight's answser fell a bit short of the mark. DYMO labelers are common & standard and their software is not great (that's where your frustration & 1-star should have gone) and I think BeLight should address the labeling issue and quickly or their great software may be left behind (I made this request to BeLight months ago). I think the incentive should be a reasonable upgrade price and a overall increase in the purchase price of the product. If this writer's company is big enough that his boycott threat has teeth, then I'm sure they can afford to pay for someone meeting their business needs in a product.Thursday, October 19 2006 @ 07:00 AM PDT
Can't even handle tape labels - belight
Mail Factory is the program aimed at mailing purposes and in no way it is a general labeling software. Having said that, the program does support DYMO printers to the extent required for mailing/postal purposes. Label tapes are not designed to print addresses on them, they are too thin for this. I don't think it is reasonable expect a software do something that it is not designed for.Nevertheless, we are planning to support this kind of labels in the future.
