Epson ColorWorks Colour Label Printer
Epson ColorWorks CW-C4000e Desktop Colour Label Printer
The Epson CW-C4000e is a desktop colour label printer for businesses that want to print colour labels in-house and on demand. It uses a PrecisionCore print head at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, prints up to 108 mm wide, and speaks ESC/Label and ZPL II (emulation), so it can take over from an existing label printer. It comes in two versions: Gloss Black (BK) ink or Matte Black (MK) ink, chosen to suit your label media.
Quick Glance
Key Features
Colour print quality with colour matching
A PrecisionCore print head prints at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. Epson lists colour matching functionality and a wide colour gamut, so brand colours, logos and product images on your labels come out as intended.
Fits into existing label systems
The CW-C4000e supports the ESC/Label and ZPL II (emulation) print languages, so it can slot into systems already set up to print labels. Epson describes the setup as simple and highly intuitive.
Gloss or matte black, tailored to your media
Choose the Gloss Black (BK) or Matte Black (MK) ink version to suit your label stock. It handles continuous labels and media, die-cut labels and black mark paper or labels, from a roll (4" external diameter) or fanfold, with an autocutter included.
