Epson CW-C8000 Label Printer 4", Matte, Auto Cutter, USB 3.0, Ethernet

The Epson ColorWorks C8000e is an industrial 4-inch color label printer engineered for mid‑to‑high‑volume, on‑demand label production. Combining Epson PrecisionCore TFP/PrecisionCore MicroTFP permanent printhead technology with UltraChrome DL pigment inks, the C8000e delivers high‑resolution, full‑bleed color labels with durable, smudge‑resistant finishes suitable for packaging, manufacturing, food & beverage, logistics and healthcare labeling. Designed for production environments, it supports roll‑fed and fan‑fold media, a powered auto cutter, standard USB and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with optional Wi‑Fi, and industry certifications such as BS5609 (when used with certified blank label material). The printer optimizes throughput, integration and color consistency to reduce preprinted inventory and improve operational efficiency.

Key Features

• PrecisionCore printing: Permanent PrecisionCore printhead with nozzle verification ensures consistent, high‑quality output and reduced downtime for continuous production runs.
• High throughput: Fast print performance—up to 11.8 in/s (300 mm/s)—supports mid‑ to‑high‑volume workflows and quick turnaround on variable data jobs.
• Durable pigment inks: UltraChrome DL pigment ink system provides smudge‑resistant, water‑tolerant labels with full‑bleed capability and BS5609 support with certified media.
• Flexible media handling & finishing: Roll‑fed and fan‑fold support, 3" core compatibility, and a powered auto cutter (scissor type) enable variable‑length labels and efficient finishing.
• Production connectivity: USB 3.0/2.0, Gigabit Ethernet and RS‑232 interfaces, plus optional Wi‑Fi, and language emulations (ZPL II, ESC/Label) simplify integration into existing systems.
• Operational convenience: Built‑in 2.7" LCD for status and setup, large ink capacities (480 mL per CMYK cartridge) and media roll support up to 8" OD reduce intervention and maximize uptime.
