Peel-and-present
Epson offers the first color inkjet printer with peel-and-present capability, which can help speed up the manual application of on-demand labels. An integrated label-taking sensor holds off subsequent printing until the previous label is removed. This feature is ideally suited for fully automated label application systems. This unique capability eliminates the need for a loose loop and allows individual labels to be used as soon as they are printed.

High-quality Printing

Epson-engineered PrecisionCore^® TFP^® printhead technology delivers ultra-sharp text and precise barcodes. It also produces varying droplet sizes that, coupled with a 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, can create a vast gamut of vibrant, accurate colors, smooth gradations, and fine image details. So, whether the challenge is to produce complex informational labels or high-quality product labels, the CW-C6000 series family is up to the challenge.

ESC/Label and ZPL II Interface Languages

ZPL II capabilities allow you to experience the advantages of Epson inkjet technology without reprogramming existing systems. ESC/Label command extensions programmed into the printer or added to the print stream to unlock the power of color. Leverage color for color-coded fields, product pictures, logos, and marketing messages to improve overall business processes and brand image.

Remote Management Tools

Epson made the CW-C6000 series family for large-scale enterprise environments. To support these high-volume scenarios, a wide range of remote management tools are available. These tools allow IT and support teams to monitor large fleets of printers remotely, generate email alerts on items needing attention, remotely deploy firmware updates, set up complex network environments, and view or modify settings from any computer browser or Android™ or Apple® powered smartphone.

General-purpose I/O Port

All CW-C6000 series family printers, designed for mission-critical production environments, come equipped with a general-purpose IO port. The IO port gives automation developers all the control they need to integrate the printer seamlessly into their automated workflow. The port provides all the necessary information on supply levels, status, faults, and readiness. Inputs enable users to pause, clean, and print.
