FAQs About the Epson ColorWorks Printer C8000
Q. What’s the difference between the C8000, the C6000 and the C6500?
A: The C8000 is built for high-volume label production, making it ideal for operations that require faster print speeds and longer run times. It features a 1.9-liter ink system, significantly reducing the need for ink changes during large jobs.
In comparison:
- The C6000 is designed for moderate volume output, with a maximum label width of 4.25 inches, suitable for standard product labels and shipping tags.
- The C6500 offers a wider print width of up to 8.34 inches, making it more versatile for applications like GHS compliance, industrial labeling, and larger-format packaging.
While all three models deliver high-resolution, full-color printing, the C8000 stands out for its speed, ink capacity, and scalability, making it better suited for businesses with demanding print environments.
Q: What’s the difference between the Gloss and Matte editions of the Epson ColorWorks CW-C8000?
A: The CW-C8000 is available in Gloss and Matte editions, which differ based on the type of black ink they use. Both versions deliver high-speed, high-volume color label printing — but choosing the right edition ensures your labels match your visual and durability requirements.
- The Gloss Edition includes Gloss Black Ink, optimized for printing on glossy, semi-gloss, and synthetic media. It's ideal if your production line uses a variety of label materials or needs to maintain a polished appearance.
- The Matte Edition uses Matte Black Ink, which delivers stronger blacks and higher contrast on matte or uncoated substrates. This is a great fit for compliance labels, industrial identification, and large-format signage where readability matters most.
Choosing the right ink edition helps optimize both print quality and media compatibility. Not sure which to select? Our team is here to guide you.
