Epson ColorWorks C7500 industrial in-house label printer

The Epson ColorWorks C7500 colour inkjet desktop label printer has been developed to help manufacturers meet a wide variety of in-house, on-demand, customised labelling requirements.

The label printer incorporates Epson’s PrecisionCore Micro TFP line printhead which has been specifically developed for use in the commercial-grade, industrial labelling market and is claimed will last for the lifetime of the printer. This printhead ensures reliability alongside the ability to print 600 x 1200 dpi quality labels on a wide variety of materials including matte, gloss and synthetic media. In addition, it is capable of a wide range of formats and sizes up to 108 mm wide and print speeds up to 300 mm/s.

Sharp, high-quality results are achieved through the use of Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT), which produces ink droplets in a range of precisely controlled sizes. In addition, nozzle verification technology and dot substitution helps prevent misprints and dead pixels to ensure consistent printouts.

The C7500 uses Epson’s pigment ink in high-capacity cartridges to give fast-drying labels that are smudge, water and fade resistant. The printer is easy to use, integrates into most operating systems and features an auto-cutter as standard and a take-up unit for roll-to-roll printing.

The ColorWorks C7500 comes equipped with ZPL II programming compatibility to allow direct plug-in replacement for manufacturers operating two-step printing with traditional thermal transfer printers. In this application, the printer can produce full colour labels from blank stock by automatically merging ‘colour pre-print’ images in memory with existing monochrome data streams.
