New Epson ColorWorksEpson announces the new ColorWorks CW-C4000

Those familiar with the market had suspected it for some time: a new Epson ColorWorks printer. Still, Epson kept quiet for a long time. But now, on January 18, 2022, the news has finally been confirmed in a press release: a new Epson ColorWorks printer is coming.

This new addition to the Epson ColorWorks range is the Epson CW-C4000. Although it looks very similar to the Epson TM-C3500 on the outside, the printer itself is significantly different and is not a replacement for an existing model.

New color label printers complete Epson’s range of on-demand label solutions

The new ColorWorks C4000e is a series of high-quality, compact label printers that are ideal for desktop installations across many industries.

Amsterdam, January 18, 2022 – Epson announces two new ColorWorks C4000e on-demand color label printers. The new models offer a flexible, fast and cost-effective solution for producing labels in-house, for businesses of all types and sizes, and complete Epson’s range of color label printers.

Thanks to its compact footprint, the ColorWorks C4000e series is highly suitable for desktop installations at smaller businesses with limited space. It is an excellent solution for a wide range of businesses, from the food and beverage industry to chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers and ticketing applications. The printers produce high-quality labels in-house and on demand, in small to medium volumes.

The series offers models that print in matte or glossy black inks, allowing users to produce clear, sharp black text and rich images on whichever medium they use. The matte black ink model produces deeper blacks on matte media and sharper images on plain media. The glossy black ink model produces high-quality prints on a wider range of substrates, with the best results on synthetic to glossy media. Both models use the same cyan, magenta and yellow inks.

The Epson C4000e series, designed around Epson’s award-winning PrecisionCore technology, prints labels in high resolution and high quality. Combined with the colour matching functions, including ICC profile and spot color matching tool, this delivers impressive results. The individual cartridges with pigmented ink ensure fast-drying, highly detailed, water-resistant labels that do not smudge or fade.

The C4000e series includes a range of user-friendly features and improved connectivity, giving you more flexible printing options. The SDKs for iOS and Android, provided by Epson, simplify integration and connectivity. They allow easy and intuitive printing from tablets and provide integration tools that offer a one-stop shop for on-demand variable data. Drivers are available for ESC/Label, Linux and Mac.

An optional Wi-Fi dongle is also available, allowing you to print anywhere and at any time. A simple web interface enables remote configuration, maintenance and monitoring. This allows you to manage your entire printer fleet.

The printer features a large 2.7-inch LCD screen, making it particularly user-friendly, plus an automatic paper cutter that can easily be replaced by the user, so there is no need to call a technician.

For extra peace of mind, Epson covers everything, including the printhead, as long as the printer is under warranty or CoverPlus and meets the criteria in Epson’s fair use policy.

“The addition of the C4000e is an important step forward,” says Jacob Kallergis, Manager of Product Management at Epson Europe. “The new series meets the market’s need for a desktop installation that can easily and reliably print high-quality labels. Epson now offers an on-demand label printing solution for businesses of every size.”

The ColorWorks CW-C4000e (Bk) and CW-C4000e (Mk) will be available from spring 2022.

Premium white glossy plastic (PP) inkjet labels

The DIA715 is a white synthetic (PP) label material with a high-quality inkjet coating and a high-gloss finish A glossy PP in combination with an inkjet color label printer has the potential to produce the most beautiful labels such as product and retail labels. The high-gloss finish of the material ensures a very striking appearance, while the high-quality inkjet coating ensures fast drying and fine print results. The pictures will have bright colors and a barcode is always optimal printed so it can be easily be scanned by a barcode scanner. Remark: With high-speed inkjet printers such as the Epson TM-C7500G the speed of the printer can cause “windmarking”. If in doubt, always contact us for advice. The DIA725 is a PET variant and due to its various properties it is a good alternative for labels on (small) round surfaces such as bottles and test tubes

Premium inkjet coated glossy paper with removable adhesive

Glossy paper with very high quality inkjet coating with removable adhesive. The base paper DIA400 from Diamondlabels is the premium inkjet paper when it comes to fast drying and excellent quality prints in terms of resolution. Despite the good gloss value, the inkjet coating is open enough to absorb ink quickly and thus minimize bleeding (bleeding) of the ink. As a result, prints have a high color yield and brightness without sacrificing sharpness. Prints on DIA400 will therefore be of the highest possible quality. The DIA400R’s removable adhesive ensures trouble-free label removal without leaving any damage or visible traces. Ideal for temporary application of full-color labels, such as logistics application and temporary packaging labels. In addition, the DIA400R is widely used as a product label on the product itself, such as price labels on crockery. The DIA400 series is available with different adhesive types: Standaard permanente lijm: DIA400 Extra permanente High-tack lijm: DIA400H Lijm voor diepvries temperaturen: DIA400F Opake lijm (zwarte lijm): DIA400O

The DIA400 features a permanent adhesive that is allowed to come into direct contact with food and adheres well to many surfaces. The application of the labels is possible at 0 degrees Celsius. The DIA400 is also available with other types of adhesives: Adhesive for freezing temperatures: DIA400F Removable adhesive: DIA400R Extra permanent High-tack adhesive: DIA400H Opaque adhesive (blackout): DIA400O

Extra thin mat inkjet paperlabels with removable adhesive

Matte inkjet paper especially for applications with endless label rolls with easy to remove adhesive. Endless rolls are label rolls that consist of only one long label and are cut to any desired length with the printer’s cutter. For example, for one application multiple label formats can be printed with 1 printer and 1 roll without changes. This material is thinner than the other matte paper label materials we use. All this to extend the life of the printer’s blade and therefore make the solution more reliable in critical processes. This material is similar to the DIA010 only with a removable adhesive. Other types of matte inkjet paper include. Standard mat inkjet paper DIA055 Premium mat inkjet paper DIA050

Extra thin matte inkjet label material for endless rolls

The DIA010 from Diamondlabels is an extra thin matte inkjet paper specially developed for endless label rolls. Since the DIA010 is an extra thin paper, more meters fit on a single roll, but the biggest advantage is the extra low load on the autocutter unit. The thin paper minimizes the load on the cutterblade and thus extends the life of the cutterunit and thus the printer. This makes the DIA010 a widely used and ideal material for endless rolls in practical applications. An endless roll is widely used for printing constantly changed label sizes without having to change rolls while still using 1 printer. The DIA010 is therefore a widely sold material for the Epson ColorWorks C3500 label printer where the DIA010 is used in both packaging applications and more practical applications such as in a logistics environment. In addition to the DIA010, Diamondlabels have other types of matte inkjet label material for other applications, the most important of which are: Premium extra mat inkjet paper DIA050 Standard mat inkjet paper DIA055
