Epson launches C6000 series thermal printers

The new ColorWorks models are engineered for mission-critical applications delivering high volume color labels for production use, with printing speeds of up to five inches per second.

Four and eight-inch models cover the full spectrum of label sizes, with two models being the first ever color inkjet printers to support peel-and-present capabilities for fast hand or automated label application, and two models including an auto cutter to create variable length labels and enable easy job separation.

‘We have already received a tremendous response around the launch of these printers. Businesses are excited to make the switch from black-only thermal transfer printing to on-demand color label printing,’ said Andy Scherz, senior product manager, Commercial Label Printers at Epson America. 

‘Time after time, business owners have expressed their frustrations with unused, pre-printed labels and the money wasted when label designs or requirements change. These new printers will allow companies to eliminate the need for pre-printed labels, preventing material and monetary waste. In addition, adding color to a label can improve brand recognition and process efficiency and reduce errors,’ concluded Scherz.

The 8-inch C6500A and C6500P models are already available for order while customers interested in the 4-inch versions can pre-order printers for shipping in April 2020.
