EPSON RELEASES ON DEMAND LABEL PRINTER

Epson has released its newest on-demand colour inkjet label printer – the ColorWorks C8010 – built for mid to high-volume batch runs in on-demand environments.

The ColorWorks C8010 is engineered for print quality, reliable performance and high-speed printing, with connectivity and cloud printing – which Epson says allows businesses to print almost any type of label, on a 10cm web width.

Colour labelling is now being used across various applications to improve efficiency, quality and customisation. The new ColorWorks C8010 helps companies eliminate multi-step printing processes and the stockpiling of pre-printed colour label rolls, to print “high-quality” labels in real time.

The ColorWorks C8010 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 printer features PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology, combining image quality and precision, printing multiple labels with variable data at speeds up to 30cm per second.

Epson says the PrecisionCore permanent printhead allows for fewer interventions and low maintenance costs, making it ideal for busy, on-demand environments.

According to Epson durable, high-performance UltraChrome DL pigment inks provide “high-quality, long-lasting” labels that it says resist smudging, smearing and fading. There is a choice of Gloss and Matte Black ink to fit labelling needs.

Epson says new high-capacity ink packs are suited for high-volume batch runs, allowing for fewer interventions and offering low cost per millilitre and low consumable waste.

Connectivity, such as cloud printing and optional Wi-Fi, helps to maximise workflow. Epson says its Cloud Solution Port offers remote management for fleet productivity to better manage efficiency and optimise printer workflow, including viewing printer status, ink consumption and operation history.

Epson says ColorWorks on-demand label printers are designed to help businesses print as many types of labels as possible with full-colour capabilities, in single-step colour printing simplicity. It says PrecisionCore technology produces high-quality labels in real time, eliminating the need for excess inventory and potentially reducing pre-printed label waste.

The ColorWorks C8010 colour inkjet label printer is now available in Australia and New Zealand through Epson’s authorised partners. 

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