Epson introduces ColorWorks CW-D3800

Epson has introduced the ColorWorks CW-D3800, an affordable and compact color label and badge printer for easy on-demand labeling.

Small businesses with lower-volume labeling need a reliable technology that keeps costs manageable while granting flexibility, simplicity and polished results. Engineered for reliable, low-volume color label printing, the new CW-D3800 is an on-demand color label printer for visitor management and custom, private or seasonal product labels.

'An affordable, low-volume, on-demand color label printer isn’t just a convenience; it solves some real constraints for businesses. The new CW-D3800 allows businesses to stay lean, adaptable and cost-conscious while presenting a professional, high-quality brand,' said Andrew Kim, product manager, Epson America. 'There’s also an increased demand for visitor management solutions, especially across education, healthcare, corporate and government sectors where organizations need a simple way to create and print badges for identification and security. Color badges are often the preferred method for visitor management badges because they provide fast visual recognition and can improve access control and security response.'

Epson also introduced its Label Boost software suite, a portfolio of label design and print software products for Epson label printers. The new software suite is comprised of Label Boost Designer for helping businesses get started with in-house color labeling, Label Boost Concierge for simple visitor management check-in and badge printing, and Label Boost Shipper (formerly Label Boost) for designing and printing shipping labels in color.

For many businesses, third-party enterprise labeling software is needed for sophisticated, complex printing needs. For businesses with basic label printing needs, Label Boost Designer is a simple, no-cost design and print software specially designed for ColorWorks and select Epson thermal label printers, including the new CW-D3800. Label Boost Designer helps businesses get started with on-demand in-house labeling out of the box, allowing businesses to easily design labels, visitor badges, shelf tags, food labels and more in minutes.

The CW-D3800 is equipped with an advanced PrecisionCore permanent printhead that is designed to last the life of the printer and deliver consistent performance and minimal downtime. It uses dye ink to produce vibrant color labels with detail and clarity, at resolutions up to 600DPI x 1200DPI. It also supports a wide range of media in both roll and fanfold formats to produce a variety of labels from 1 to 4.25in.

With optional Wi-Fi connectivity, businesses can print from mobile devices via the Epson ColorWorks Print App, making it easy to manage labeling from anywhere. Designed for smooth integration, the CW-D3800 works effortlessly across workflows with support for major operating systems such as Windows, iOS and Linux, and Epson ESC/Label emulation. It’s built for ease of use with a color LCD screen, automatic Nozzle Verification Technology and straightforward ink and media loading.
