Print Color Labels Like a Pro with the Epson C8000
Want to produce professional color labels in-house while reducing label waste, streamlining production, and preparing for automation? The Epson ColorWorks CW-C8000 is a high-speed, on-demand color label printer designed for demanding, high-volume label production.
At Jet City Label, we help businesses build complete labeling workflows—from printing full-color labels and producing finished rolls to applying labels directly to containers. Whether you're labeling bottles, jars, vials, or packaged products, the right equipment can help improve efficiency and reduce manual handling.
1. Print Color Labels on Demand and Reduce Waste
Traditional label ordering can require purchasing more labels than you immediately need. Product changes, artwork revisions, and changing demand can leave businesses with unused inventory.
With in-house color printing, you can print labels as needed, adjust artwork between runs, and produce batches that better match your production requirements.
The Epson ColorWorks C8000 Matte and C8000 Gloss offer print resolutions up to 600 × 1200 dpi and speeds up to 11.8 inches per second.
Printing in-house can help reduce dependence on preprinted label inventory, especially when you manage multiple products or frequently update label designs. Actual savings depend on your current workflow, materials, and production volume.
2. Design Labels for Your Products
A reliable labeling process starts with artwork that prints correctly and fits your application. The Epson Label Boost Designer can be part of your label design workflow.
The C8000 supports a range of media constructions, including plain and textured paper, matte paper, synthetic materials, glossy paper, and glossy film. Always confirm label stock compatibility with your printer configuration and intended application.

3. Produce Full Rolls for Label Dispensers and Applicators
Printing labels is only one part of production. If your operation uses a label dispenser or automatic applicator, finished rolls can make labels easier to handle and prepare for downstream use.
For a straightforward setup, the Epson ColorWorks C8000 Series Label Rewinder rewinds printed labels into rolls for easier handling.
For a more complete roll-to-roll workflow, the Epson ColorWorks C8000 DPR Roll-to-Roll Label System provides an unwinding and rewinding solution for compatible label production workflows.
The right setup depends on your label dimensions, roll requirements, print volume, and downstream equipment. Jet City Label can help you determine which configuration best fits your operation.
4. Slit Narrow Labels for Jars, Bottles, and Vials
Small containers often require narrow labels. An inline slitter/rewinder can slit compatible printed label stock into multiple narrower rolls, helping prepare labels for suitable dispensing and application equipment.
The Labelmate USA SR-100 Inline Slitter/Rewinder offers a finishing option for businesses producing narrower rolls for applications such as jars, bottles, and vials.
Watch the slitter in action:
Before selecting a slitting configuration, confirm the required finished widths, label material, roll dimensions, and printer alignment.
5. Move from Manual Labeling to Automation
Printing labels in-house is one opportunity to improve production. Applying them more efficiently is another.
If employees currently peel and place labels by hand or operate a manual label dispenser, an automatic label applicator may help reduce repetitive handling and improve application consistency. A printed-roll workflow can feed labels into compatible application equipment, depending on the container and production requirements.
Jet City Label can help you evaluate your complete process—from printing and roll finishing to applying labels to your containers.
