Threshold & Epson Partner for Visitor Management and Security

Threshold, a leader in visitor management solutions, announced a strategic collaboration with Epson, a global technology innovator, to transform the way organizations handle visitor identification and security through the power of color. 

This partnership centers on leveraging ColorWorks C4000 on-demand color label printers with Threshold’s eVisitor software to produce vibrant, color-coded visitor badges that can enhance security, improve operational efficiency, and create a more professional and welcoming experience.

The ColorWorks C4000 printer brings high-resolution, on-demand color printing to Threshold’s visitor badge solutions. Designed for crisp image quality and reliable performance, the C4000 empowers institutions to easily print full-color badges with logos, color-coded categories, barcodes, and photos.

When paired with Threshold’s eVisitor visitor management software, the C4000 allows for the seamless creation of customized visitor passes in real time — without the need for pre-printed inventory or separate color labels.

Threshold’s expiring badge technology further strengthens visitor management by incorporating a color-changing visual indicator directly into the badge design. These specially engineered labels gradually display a prominent pink “VOID” mark overnight, clearly signaling that the badge has expired. This not only prevents unauthorized reuse but also helps staff instantly recognize if a visitor has overstayed their visit or bypassed check-in procedures.

This creates a clear visual check and status at a glance; it also makes it hard to reuse expired badges. The printer can also include logos, brand colors, or personnel photos for a credible impression and secure visitor identification. 

“Visitor badges are a frontline tool in ensuring building safety,” said Noel Turner, Director of Sales and Marketing at Threshold. “With Epson’s advanced color printing technology and our expiring badge features, organizations can maintain tighter control over who is in the building — and for how long.”

“Whether in education, healthcare or corporate spaces, color can boost security, provide more information to visitors and customers, and elevate branding,” said Michael Weitz, product manager, ColorWorks, Epson America, Inc. “We are excited to work with Threshold to provide a complete software and printing solution to organizations looking to take badges to a new level and enhance visitor experiences.”
