Epson’s eagerly anticipated 8-inch ColorWorks C6500 label printers are now shipping to Canadian businesses. With anticipated demand to remain strong, there’s a good reason to order sooner rather than later says DuraFast Label Company’s CEO, Basat Khalifa.“These printers have proven to be popular with manufacturers, retailers, and other businesses. To ensure our customers have everything they need to get started, we’re offering $500 in free label credit to customers who order online and use the discount code EPSON500,” he said. “This is a fantastic value on an already value-priced colour label printer.”
The Epson CW-C6500A (Autocutter) and CW-C6500P (Peeler) colour label printers feature Epson’s PrecisionCore TFP serial printheads, which deliver durable, full colour, 1200dpi labels with crisp text and barcodes. Remote printer management, a general purpose I/O port for label applicators and other peripherals, media handling capabilities, and broad compatibility with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and popular middleware add to the appeal of the Epson CW-C6500 color label printer.
“It’s an 8-inch printer that also comes in two primary versions. The Epson ColorWorks C6500P colour label printer is the first colour inkjet available in Canada with a peeler for peel-and-present applications. The CW-C6500A has an auto cutter, giving enterprises the choices they need for their printer fleets,” Khalifa explained. “In addition, the CW-C6500 is available as either a matte printer or a glossy printer. If you need to print product labels on glossy media, choose the gloss version. If you need to print labels for more demanding applications like industrial and GHS BS5609 chemical labels, the matte version is the better choice. The only difference is the black pigment ink formula, which is more durable and has a deeper black colour than the gloss ink.”
“We are also shipping the 4-inch model, the CW-C6000, in Canada, so that Canadian business have both 4” and 8” versions to better help them meet their business and enterprise needs.”
Khalifa also noted that demand is already high for the Epson ColorWorks C6500 because it’s designed for enterprise organizations that deploy entire fleets of printers.
“The Epson ColorWorks C6500 color label printer is expected to replace aging black thermal transfer printers commonly used in enterprise label production environments,” he said. “The introduction of color combined with the must-have features these organizations need is a game-changer, and all at a comparable price to the older thermal technology.”
