As the leading desktop color label printer vendor in ASEAN for four consecutive years (2018-2021), according to IDC Quarterly Industrial Printer Tracker – Final Historical Application Detail 2022 Q1, Epson expands its product line with the advanced ColorWorks C4050. With the label market projected to grow at a CAGR of 16% over the next three years, the ColorWorks C4050 is specifically designed to deliver superior print quality and seamless system integration, addressing the on-demand color label requirements of businesses operating with high mix, low volume production for multiple label variations. This versatile printer is ideal for various sectors such as GHS chemicals, MICE events, medical, manufacturing, food and beverage, and retail industries.
Enhanced Print Quality
The ColorWorks C4050 surpasses its predecessor, the C3510, by incorporating Epson’s upgraded PrecisionCore™ TFP Printhead technology, resulting in superior quality and efficiency for label printing. The new PrecisionCore™ Printhead features the Micro TFP PrecisionCore™ print chip, which ensures precise ink placement at incredibly fast speeds. This advancement enables the printer to produce high-resolution images of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, while the built-in spot color matching function and IPP profile creation guarantee meticulous detail reproduction, even for intricate labels. With the ColorWorks C4050, accurate on-demand color label printing is made possible, reducing labeling costs through paper-saving and ink-saving functionalities.
To prolong the lifespan of the printhead, the C4050 is equipped with an Auto Head Maintenance feature that utilizes Nozzle Verification Technology (NVT). Users can set predefined intervals to check and clean the printhead nozzles in case of clogging. Moreover, the C4050 offers flexible print mode options based on the media used and provides Matte Black or Gloss Black ink cartridges for optimal media compatibility. Combined with the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow DURABrite Ultra Pigment premium water-resistant inks, the printer excels in basic printing production, delivering vividly colored labels with exceptional precision.
Widened Versatility
The C4050 sets a new standard for flexibility by supporting printing on a wide range of inkjet label substrates, including high-gloss, matte, and synthetic materials. It accommodates two types of media feeds, allowing for seamless printing of both roll labels and folded labels.
In today’s dynamic business landscape, portability, connectivity, and regulatory compliance play vital roles in label production, particularly in industries such as Meetings Incentives Conferences Exhibitions (MICE), Retail and Service, and GHS chemicals. The C4050 addresses the specific needs of these sectors, offering optional Wi-Fi connectivity through a separate dongle accessory. This enables effortless connectivity for businesses with a mobile workforce using various devices, streamlining the printing process and making it easily manageable for anyone. Additionally, the C4050 label printer, Epson’s pigment inks, and the wide variety of approved media are BS5609 certified, ensuring GHS compliance for label output and making it the perfect solution for the chemical market.
The C4050 is compatible with Mac and Linux operating systems and supports popular middleware such as BarTender, NiceLabel, and CodeSoft. It also provides ESC/label command support for businesses looking to develop programs to control the printer. Moreover, the C4050 offers significant cost savings and reduced production time with its higher-capacity individual ink cartridges, allowing for larger print volumes without any ink wastage.
Improved Usability
The C4050 is designed with user convenience in mind, eliminating the typical challenges associated with label printer operation. Its user-friendly interface ensures easy and functional usage. With a compact footprint, the printer saves valuable space and is effortless to maintain. Users can easily replace the auto cutter unit when needed, and access built-in features like Epson’s Web Configuration support or Device Admin support to address any maintenance issues. Additionally, the C4050 features a 2.7″ Color LCD for improved visibility while operating the printer.
