Epson and Teklynx partner for GHS compliance

The partnership leverages decades of experience from Teklynx and Epson to offer color chemical labeling for manufacturing environments of all sizes. Embedded native printer drivers from Teklynx allow the interaction of its Codesoft barcode label design software and Epson’s ColorWorks C7500 inkjet on-demand color label printer.

By creating native printer drivers for Epson color label printers such as the ColorWorks C7500, Teklynx is allowing chemical manufacturers to comply with industry standards and government regulations, such as the globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals (GHS), which requires the inclusion of specific pictograms, rendered in color, to help classify hazardous materials.

Epson and Teklynx explained that with the increase in industry standards and government regulations that specifically require the use of color, color label printing continues to grow in importance for manufacturers of all sizes from localized to global manufacturing environments. Color provides additional levels of visual communication by enabling the inclusion of bold safety warnings that catch attention and draw the eye to critical information.

Andrew Moore, product manager at Epson America, said: ‘As GHS-compliant chemical labeling continues to be adopted, the demand for a one-step label printing solution that delivers fast, efficient and durable color label printing has become increasingly important for companies looking to enhance their workflow and meet labeling concerns for on-demand packaging labels.

‘Our strategic partnership with Teklynx and its ongoing investment in the development of native printer drivers creates the opportunity for us to offer the most seamless, turnkey solution for on-demand color labeling.’

Teklynx general manager Doug Niemeyer continued: ‘The partnership between Teklynx and Epson offers our shared chemical manufacturing customers the industry’s best overall color labeling solution for GHS compliance, giving our customers peace of mind.’
