Epson has launched the ColorWorks C7500 compact colour label printer which has been developed to help manufacturers meet a wide variety of in-house, on-demand, customised labelling requirements.
The new ColorWorks C7500 incorporates Epson’s new permanent PrecisionCore Micro TFP line printhead which has been specifically developed for use in the commercial-grade, industrial labelling market and which lasts for the lifetime of the printer.
This printhead ensures excellent reliability alongside the ability to print 600 x 1200 dpi quality labels on a wide variety of materials, including matte, gloss and synthetic media, in a wide range of formats and sizes up to four inches wide at a fast 300 mm/sec. Sharp, high-quality results are achieved through the use of Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) which produces ink droplets in a range of precisely controlled sizes. In addition, Nozzle Verification Technology and dot substitution helps prevent misprints and dead pixels to ensure consistent printouts.
The C7500 uses Epson DURABrite Ultra pigment ink in high-capacity 300 ml cartridges to give fast-drying labels that are smudge, water and fade resistant. The printer is easy to use, integrates into most operating systems and features an auto-cutter as standard and an optional rewinder for roll-to-roll printing.
‘With the C7500 manufacturers can now produce outstanding quality, individually-customised colour labels in-house, on-demand, at a low cost per label and without the costs associated with producing and stocking pre-printed labels for secondary overprinting,’ said David Spratt, head of business systems, Epson UK. ‘It is the ultimate in short-run colour printing for those for who want the flexibility in-house to reliably meet their label printing needs. It eliminates the costs associated with pre-printing, by producing short run, customised labels on demand for a variety of applications such as product packaging, food, beverages, EU Energy Labels and GHS labels.’
