Full Color Edge to Edge Label Printing
Printing high-quality, full-color labels without white edges or borders is one of the most common challenges faced by businesses in industries like food and beverage processing, healthcare, e-commerce, and manufacturing. Fortunately, the Epson ColorWorks C8000 Series printers—paired with Labelmate Rewinders—make it easier to print in full-bleed, edge-to-edge color without the frustrating white lines that plague standard inkjet systems.
Understanding Full-Bleed Color Label Printing
“Full-bleed” printing means your artwork extends all the way to the edge of the label with no white border. Achieving this level of precision requires a combination of advanced printer alignment settings, reliable material handling, and a printer that can deliver consistent ink coverage.

The C8000 Gloss and C8000 Matte printers bring professional, full-color label printing to your production floor—whether you’re printing compliance labels, product packaging, or shipping and logistics labels.

Pairing with Labelmate Rewinders for Professional Full-Bleed Results
When you pair your C8000 printer with a Labelmate UNI-CAT Rewinder or a Labelmate Twin-Matrix Rewinder with Matrix Remover, you can achieve seamless full-bleed labels without damaging your printhead or leaving unprinted edges.
- Matrix Remover Option: Strips away waste matrix material as you rewind, producing professional edge-to-edge labels ready for automatic applicators.

FAQ: Full-Bleed Inkjet Label Printing
How do I print labels edge-to-edge without white borders?
Use high-quality die-cut labels with bleed margin settings and pair your Epson ColorWorks printer with a Labelmate rewinder to maintain consistent tension and media alignment.
Which Epson C8000 version should I choose?
Choose the Gloss version if you print on both gloss and matte labels. Choose the Matte version if you print only on matte media for darker black tones.
