Epson ColorWorks C6500 Color Label Printer (C31CH77202)

The Epson ColorWorks C6500 C31CH77202 is a 8-inch on-demand colour label printer for businesses that want to print full-colour product, GHS and logistics labels in-house instead of stocking pre-printed labels. It prints at up to 1200 × 1200 dpi with durable UltraChrome DL pigment inks, reaches 85 mm/s and handles media 50–215.9 mm wide on rolls up to 152.4 mm / 6". This version has a built-in peeler that presents labels one at a time and uses gloss black ink (BK) – the best match for glossy paper and film labels. USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet come as standard.

Key Features

• 1200 × 1200 dpi colour – PrecisionCore µTFP4 print head with variable droplet sizes for sharp barcodes, fine text and smooth gradients; ICC profiles and spot-colour matching for brand colours
• Print width up to 211.9 mm (8.34") – media 50–215.9 mm wide on rolls up to 152.4 mm / 6" (3" / 76 mm core) or fanfold fed from the rear
• Up to 85 mm/s at 300 × 600 dpi across the full print width
• Durable pigment ink – 80 ml UltraChrome DL cartridges: smudge-, water- and fade-resistant, BS 5609 certified on PE matte media
• Built-in peeler – removes the liner and presents one label at a time; the label-taken sensor waits until the label is removed – ideal for print-and-apply
• Movable media sensor – print on die-cut labels of any shape and on black-mark media
• Easy integration – ZPL II emulation and ESC/Label, drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux, SAP support, native BarTender, CODESOFT and NiceLabel drivers; web interface for fleet management
• Easy to operate – 2.7-inch colour LCD, media loading from two sides, paper jams cleared via front and rear covers
• Gloss black ink (BK) – deep, rich blacks on glossy paper and gloss film labels; the black ink type cannot be switched later, so choose the version that suits your media
