FAQs for the Epson ColorWorks® CW-C4000
Q: How does the CW-C4000 differ from the CW-C6000 and CW-C6500 models?
A: The CW-C4000 is an entry-level printer designed for smaller-volume labeling needs, offering high-quality output in a space-saving footprint. It fits well on a desktop, making it well suited for offices, clinics and small businesses with low to moderate print volumes.
In contrast, the CW-C6000 and CW-C6500 are built for higher-volume production environments. They support wider media (up to 4.25" on the C6000 and 8.34" on the C6500), and include features like Peel-and-Present or Auto-Cutter options for streamlined workflows. These models are ideal for manufacturing, logistics, warehouse operations, and other applications where speed and/or label widths are essential.
Q: What’s the difference between the gloss and matte editions of the CW-C4000?
A: The Epson ColorWorks CW-C4000 uses durable pigment-based inks and is available in two versions: Gloss Ink Edition and Matte Ink Edition.
- The Gloss Ink Edition uses Gloss Black Ink, which is optimized for printing on a broader range of label materials, including gloss and semi-gloss substrates.
- The Matte Ink Edition uses Matte Black Ink, which produces richer, deeper blacks on matte-finish media, resulting in sharper text and image definition on uncoated surfaces.
Choosing the right edition depends on the types of materials you plan to print on. If you use multiple media types, the gloss version offers more versatility. If you consistently use matte materials, the matte version delivers superior image contrast.
