PRODUCT LAUNCH EPSON COLORWORKS C8000E
Making colour work With the quality of labels becoming more important to businesses in a range of sectors – and colours now increasingly being demanded – Epson has responded by launching its latest printer in the ColorWorks range.
Labels are becoming more important in a range of sectors as legislation and customers demand more and better information on them. Increasingly, colour printing is also becoming desired by customers as they seek to highlight certain information. To this end, Epson has launched the ColorWorks C8000e, which has been designed for in-house, on-demand colour label printing, and producing exceptional quality labels at high-speed, while reducing the costs and waste associated with traditional analogue label production processes. Building on success The ColorWorks C8000e builds on the success of its predecessor, the ColorWorks C7500, to meet the high-volume label production needs of businesses in sectors ranging from food, beverages, chemicals and healthcare, to horticulture, pharmaceuticals, warehousing and logistics. Designed to help eliminate costs associated with pre-printing, such as label waste and excessive inventory, the C8000e incorporates Epson’s PrecisionCore printhead technology to deliver detailed, consistent high-quality and accurate colour labels. The C8000e achieves an image resolution of 1200x600dpi, enabling accurate reproduction of barcodes and small fonts, while its print speed of 300mm/sec minimises run times for on-demand jobs. To further enhance image accuracy and reliability, the C8000e features Epson’s Nozzle Verification Technology to prevent misprints, as well as spot colour matching and ICC profiling for easy and precise colour management. The C8000e supports a variety of media types, including matt and gloss paper, film and synthetic and is capable of printing label widths from one to four inches, 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 to produce labels for use in harsh and demanding environments such as when exposed to salt water or chemicals.
Low TCO With a low total cost of ownership, the
The printer is backed by an Epson warranty with CoverPlus available for all volume customers.
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 2.6 kilos less metal parts than compared with 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 simple and seamless integration with legacy systems. Integration with the SAP infrastructure is also simple, using the ABAP drivers for ERP direct printing. In addition, the C8000e enables on-demand label printing to be easily moved to the cloud, using Loftware, a comprehensive labelling and artwork management solution, or NiceLabel Cloud, which is customisable to meet the needs of any business. Print management and configuring is further simplified with new applications and cloud services. With a footprint reduced by 35% compared with the C7500, the C8000e requires less room for installation and can fit in tighter spaces. The C8000e features a new one- side access design, which simplifies printer management and maintenance by enabling all operations, such as paper loading, ink replacement and printing operations.
