Best Full-Bleed Label Printing with Epson & Matrix Removal
For high-quality, full-bleed, edge-to-edge label printing, Epson ColorWorks label printers stand out as the best solution. These printers are ideal when you want to leave the matrix on or use black timing marks, eye marks, or black marks on the backing paper. Epson's precision technology allows you to print beyond the edge, enabling cleaner finishes and vibrant edge-to-edge coverage.
When printing die-cut labels, many businesses want to remove the matrix (the waste border around each label) to streamline application. That's where Labelmate inline matrix removers come in. These rewinders strip the matrix from full-bleed labels, prepping them for immediate use in automated label applicators or manual dispensers. They're available in widths like 6", 8", and 10", making them compatible with a variety of label sizes.
This setup is especially powerful for operations printing custom labels in-house for food and beverage, cannabis processing, manufacturing, or co-packing. Combining Epson ColorWorks printers with matrix-removal rewinders gives your team ready-to-use rolls that reduce waste, save time, and increase labeling efficiency.
Compatible options are also available for Afinia and Canon color label printers, which are also well-suited for full-color, in-house production.
