Quick Glance
Key Features
High speed and high print quality
Epson rates the CW-C8000e at print speeds of up to 300 mm/s at an image resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi, across a 108 mm printing width. A line inkjet print engine with 600 nozzles per colour handles high-volume colour label runs.
Rugged, low-maintenance design
Epson describes a rugged industrial design built for reliability and endurance, with a PrecisionCore printhead for consistent results and long printer lifetime. A permanent printhead and NVT for self-maintenance are there to reduce downtime.
Easy integration, gloss or matte black
ESC/Label and ZPL II (emulation) support lets it work with existing label systems; Epson says ESC/Label integrates with virtually any OS. Choose the Gloss Black (BK) or Matte Black (MK) ink version to suit your label stock.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications are Epson's own, from the Epson UAE product pages for C31CL02102BK and C31CL02102MK, which list the same specification for both versions. Rows Epson's page states as internal codes, incompletely or in a self-contradictory way (power consumption, MTBF, supply voltage, temperature and humidity) are left out.
