      The name is a dead giveaway: this node renders an embossed plastic label, the kind you'd punch out on a Dymo label maker and stick next to a switch on a control panel. It's a canvas-annotation node - it draws a little plaque under your workflow with whatever text you want, and it does exactly one other thing: it can carry a rich tooltip on the label itself.

      Why would you care? Because once you've assembled a Shima workflow of islands and panels, the graph stops being self-explanatory. A DymoLabel lets you caption a cluster of nodes - "Upscale chain", "LoRA stack", "STOP: do not queue without ref image" - in a visual style that matches the rest of Shima's hardware aesthetic, so a shared workflow reads like a piece of kit instead of a maze. It's documentation you can't lose, since it lives in the workflow file itself.

      What you set:

      • text (STRING, multiline, default LABEL) - what the label says.
      • base_color (STRING, default #000000) - the label's colour, hex format.
      • font_size (INT, 10–40, default 18) - the "punch size."
      • jitter (BOOL, default on) - slightly irregular text so it looks stamped rather than laser-printed. Turn it off if you want clinical text.
      • tooltip (STRING, optional) and tooltip_type (Text, Markdown, or HTML) - the label's hover tooltip. This is the genuinely useful bit: hover the label and you get your own documentation, and if you pick Markdown or HTML you can drop in formatting, links, even a small image.

      It has no outputs and isn't an output node - it's pure decoration, a canvas widget. Don't go looking for a wire to pull from it. All the rendering happens on the frontend (shima_dymo.js), so if the label doesn't draw, that's the same JS-loading story as the rest of this pack: restart ComfyUI, hard-refresh the browser, and check that the Shima frontend scripts actually loaded.

      Installation is the pack-wide story. ComfyUI Manager, search "Shima", or

      cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
      git clone https://github.com/KDB-USJP/shima_wf
      

      then restart. No models, no downloads, no dependencies beyond the pack itself - it's the definition of a low-stakes node to throw onto any workflow.

      If you're looking for big canvas titles instead of small labels, that's Shima Headline (Branding), the sibling node with font and opacity controls. The two pair nicely: headline for the section, DymoLabel for the fine print.
