Epson has announced its newest on-demand color inkjet label printer – the ColorWorks CW-C8000 – is now available through Epson’s authorized partners. Purpose-built for mid- to high-volume batch runs in on-demand environments, the 4″ ColorWorks CW-C8000 is engineered for excellent print quality, reliable performance and high-speed printing with advanced connectivity and cloud printing – allowing businesses to “Do Labels Differently.”

“Color labeling is being used across various applications to improve efficiency, quality and customization,” says Stevi Sterns, product manager, Epson America. “The new ColorWorks CW-C8000 helps companies eliminate multi-step printing processes and the stockpiling of pre-printed color label rolls to print state-of-the-art, high-quality labels in real time.”

The ColorWorks CW-C8000 is designed to meet the high-volume label production needs of businesses in several markets, including prime and boutique, product ID, and warehousing and logistics. The powerful printer features advanced PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology, combining enhanced image quality and sharp precision at incredible speeds, printing multiple labels with variable data at speeds up to 12″ per second. The PrecisionCore permanent printhead allows for fewer interventions and low maintenance costs, making it ideal for busy, on-demand environments.

Durable, high-performance UltraChrome DL pigment inks provide high-quality, long-lasting labels that resist smudging, smearing and fading. Customers can choose between gloss and matte black ink to fit labeling needs. New high-capacity ink packs are ideal for high-volume batch runs, allowing for fewer interventions and offering low cost per milliliter and low consumable waste. Advanced connectivity, such as cloud printing and optional Wi-Fi, helps to maximize workflow. Epson Cloud Solution PORT 2 offers remote management for powerful fleet productivity to better manage efficiency and optimize printer workflow, including viewing printer status, ink consumption and operation history.

The printer includes a one-year limited warranty with extended service plans available for up to a total of five years of continuous coverage.
