Epson’s latest industrial colour inkjet label printer, the ColorWorks C8000e, is designed to help eliminate pre-printing costs, such as label waste and excessive inventory, by using Epson’s unique PrecisionCore printhead technology to deliver detailed, consistent high-quality and accurate colour labels.
The label printer achieves an image resolution of 1200 x 600dpi, enabling accurate reproduction of barcodes and small fonts, while its print speed of 300 mm/sec minimises run times for on-demand jobs.
The C8000e also features Epson’s Nozzle Verification Technology (NVT) to prevent misprints, as well as spot colour matching and ICC (International Colour Consortium) profiling for easy and precise colour management.
Supporting a wider variety of media types, including matt and gloss paper, film and synthetic; the C8000e is capable of printing label widths from 2,5cm to 10cm, while an adjustable platen gap (up to 0.6mm) enables the use of thicker media for applications such as for price tags or floral labels. With no loss of quality on BS 5069-certified media, the printer is also ideal for the production of labels for use in harsh and demanding environments such as when exposed to salt water or chemicals.
With a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), the Epson ColorWorks C8000e is designed for optimum efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The use of high-capacity ink pouches means that it contains 75% less plastic than if using cartridges and provides 1,65-times more volume compared with its predecessor. It has also been manufactured using 2,6kg less metal parts than compared to the C7500.
Providing an improved range of connectivity options, including USB 3.0, high-speed Ethernet, Wi-Fi (optional) and an I/O port, the C8000e is easily integrated into new infrastructures without changing existing software systems, while ZPL and ESC/Label support ensure integration with legacy systems. Integration with the SAP infrastructure is also simple, using the ABAP drivers for ERP direct printing.
