If you're in the market for a reliable and high-speed color inkjet label printer, the Epson ColorWorks CW-C8000 is likely on your radar. Here's everything you need to know about its availability, pricing, and how it stacks up against other popular Epson models like the C7500G and C6500A.
Pricing & Availability
The Epson CW-C8000 will be available in Summer 2024, positioned at the premium end of Epson's label printer lineup. At $8,499, it matches the price of the Epson ColorWorks C7500G, indicating its advanced features and capabilities. Given Epson's reputation for high-quality, industrial-grade label printers, anticipation is high for this model's release.
A Leap Forward from the Epson C7500G
For those familiar with the Epson C7500G, the CW-C8000 represents a significant upgrade in several key areas:
- Ink Capacity: The CW-C8000 boasts a total ink capacity of 1.9 liters, a 60% increase compared to the C7500G’s 1.1781 liters. This means fewer interruptions and more continuous printing, ideal for large print jobs.
- Print Speed: Both the C7500G and the CW-C8000 deliver impressive print speeds of 12 inches per second, translating to approximately 59 feet per minute. However, the CW-C8000’s increased ink capacity and enhanced features make it a more efficient option for high-volume tasks.
- User Interface: One of the most noticeable upgrades is the CW-C8000’s color screen, which replaces the monochrome LCD interface of the C7500G. This makes navigating the printer’s settings and controls more intuitive and user-friendly.
- Connectivity: The CW-C8000 comes with improved connectivity options, including Epson Cloud Solution PORT for cloud printing and optional Wi-Fi support. This is a step up from the more basic connectivity options of the C7500G.
Outpacing the Epson C6500A
When comparing the CW-C8000 to the Epson C6500A, the differences are even more pronounced:
- Speed: The CW-C8000 prints at a remarkable 59 feet per minute, more than double the speed of the C6500A, which prints at 29 feet per minute. This makes the CW-C8000 an ideal choice for businesses with high-volume printing needs.
- Ink Cartridge Size: The CW-C8000 features ink cartridges that are over twice the size of those in the C6500A, reducing the frequency of cartridge changes and increasing efficiency.
- Compatibility: Both the CW-C8000 and the C6500A are compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, making them versatile options for various operating systems.
The Epson ColorWorks CW-C8000 is poised to become a powerful addition to Epson’s lineup, especially for businesses needing high-speed, high-quality color label printing. With its release set for Summer 2024 and a price tag of $8,499, it’s clear that this printer is aimed at those who need the best in label printing technology, surpassing the capabilities of both the C7500G and the C6500A in specific use cases.
