The Epson ColorWorks C6500 is an inkjet label printer that prints full colour on demand, with Ethernet and USB as standard.
Why print colour in-house
Colour labels are normally bought pre-printed: you order a run, store it, and reprint the black text onto it. That means minimum order quantities, stock sitting in a cupboard, and a reprint whenever a design or a regulation changes. The C6500 removes that step — the artwork, the colour and the variable data are printed in one pass, one label at a time.
It pays off fastest where you run many label designs in small quantities, or where the design changes often.
Where it is used
Chemical and GHS labelling — the red diamonds print with the text, so no pre-printed stock is needed
Food and beverage — product labels, allergen information, private label and seasonal runs
Cosmetics and small-batch manufacturing — short runs where pre-printed stock would be wasted
Logistics and retail — colour-coded labels for routing, priority or department
All C6500 printers below are CE certified and covered by manufacturer warranty. Part numbers differ in ink configuration and setup — check the product page before ordering, and confirm the label material suits inkjet printing.
