Food, beverage, pharmaceutical and electrical/plumbing manufacturers can now achieve high-end graphics on a wider range of label media with an ink technology enhancement being launched by Epson America, Inc.
Using a variation of Epson’s UltraChrome ink, the ColorWorks C7500G label printer allows industrial manufacturers to print on demand color labels on glossy media at the high speed of the C7500 for the first time. The new ink helps produce bright, vibrant colors that are almost photo-like in quality and, when combined with glossy label media, lend a premium look and feel to packages.
Powered by Epson’s PrecisionCore print chip technology, the bench top printer is ideal for high mix, low volume applications that require a large number of label varieties. By transitioning to an on demand color labeling solution like the ColorWorks C7500G, manufacturers can reduce total labeling costs by up to 50% by eliminating inventory of traditional black and white or pre-printed color labels and waste. On demand color labels also improve productivity by minimizing labeling and shipping errors and changeovers.
“The critical benefits of on demand printing are sacrificed if you don’t have ink that adheres quickly to the media it’s being applied to, which is why glossy labels have traditionally been a hurdle at this speed,” explains Andy Scherz, senior product manager at Epson.
