Epson ColorWorks CW-C4000 Color Label Printer

Product labels decide what shoppers pick up, and the ColorWorks CW-C4000 puts full-color, photo-quality label printing on the production line instead of in an outside print shop's queue. Printing up to four inches wide at 1200 x 1200 dpi, this on-demand inkjet label printer produces vibrant shelf tags, product labels and compliance markings at up to 4 inches per second, with no ribbons to stock, load or order. The built-in LCD, integrated peeler and network-ready connectivity make it a production-friendly unit, and the ability to print exactly the labels needed, exactly when needed, quietly kills both label inventory and obsolescence.

Use Cases

It is equally at home in chemical and industrial labeling programs where durable, information-dense labels are produced to order.

Compatibility

The printer joins production networks over Ethernet or connects directly over USB, drives with standard label design software, and runs roll-fed label media suited to product, packaging and retail applications, with the peeler streamlining manual labeling stations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a thermal transfer printer?

It prints full-color labels in a single pass without ribbons, delivering photographic graphics and variable color content that mono thermal transfer cannot.

What label sizes does it support?

Roll-fed labels up to 4 inches wide, covering most retail product, shelf tag and industrial label formats.

Can it keep up with production?

At up to 4 inches per second with continuous roll stock, it supports on-demand printing alongside real production and packing schedules.

What is the peeler for?

The integrated peeler separates labels from the liner as they exit, speeding up manual application at packing and labeling stations.

On-demand color labeling changes more than print quality, it changes how a business manages inventory, launches products and reacts to regulation changes overnight. With 1200 dpi output, four-inch-wide color labels and network-ready reliability, the CW-C4000 turns label printing from a procurement problem into a five-minute task.
