Epson Expands ColorWorks Range with CW-D3800e Desktop Color Label Printer

Epson launched the ColorWorks CW-D3800e, a new desktop color label printer designed to make high-quality, on-demand color labeling more accessible to a broader range of businesses. 

The CW-D3800 is designed for small businesses, home e-commerce operations, retailers, pharmacies, and health retailers, offering a simplified entry point into Epson’s ColorWorks range.

ColorWorks on-demand labelling enables businesses to move away from pre-printed labels, reducing waste while improving flexibility and responsiveness. Designed for simplicity, flexibility, and integration, the CW-D3800e focuses on ease of use, enabling businesses to produce high-quality, attractive labels without specialist knowledge. 

Available in June 2026, the CW-D3800e offers a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution for customers who require professional color labels without the need for higher-specification, higher-volume systems. 

Using dye-based ink technology, the printer produces vibrant colors with rich black tones, particularly on glossy media, making it ideal for short-run, on-demand labelling for product and promotional items; pharmacy and healthcare labelling, shelf-edge and price labelling; and personalized packaging and gift labelling.  

“Retailers and small businesses are increasingly looking for ways to add flexibility and visual impact to their operations without adding complexity,” said Jacob Kallergis, Epson Europe. “With the CW-D3800e, we’re lowering the barrier to entry for on-demand color labeling. By combining vibrant dye-based output with a simple, accessible design, we’re enabling businesses to produce professional-quality labels in-store or on demand, whether for packaging, promotions or customer-facing applications, while keeping costs and operational effort low.”
