Matte vs Gloss Inks
The Epson ColorWorks C6500A color label printer comes with matte inks and is intended for use with matte labels. These inks produce a much more durable and resistant label than gloss inks. Thus, the C6500A produces highly durable labels that resist water, abrasions, oil, UV light, and even chemicals (when used with BS5609 GHS chemical labels certified for use with the CW-C6500A).
Common applications for the Epson ColorWorks C6500A matte color label printer include:
- GHS chemical labels (on BS5609-certified media)
- Industrial labels
- Barcode labels
- Shipping and logistics labels
- Baggage claim labels and tags
- Outdoor labels
- Horticulture labels
- Medical device labels
Epson CW-C6500 Media Spindles
The Epson CW-C6500 uses removable media spindles. A spindle is a removable, tubular device that holds the label roll, making loading and swapping label rolls a fast and easy process. Having extra Epson C6500 media spindles allows you to have several different size label rolls ready to go. When you need to switch label sizes, simply remove the existing spindle and drop in a new spindle containing the desired media.
Epson CW-C6500A Warranty Options
When you order the Epson ColorWorks C6500A color label printer, you have a choice of warranty options. The standard factory warranty is a one-year depot warranty, which means the printer must be shipped to Epson at your expense.
However, you can also extend the warranty's term or upgrade to the following (sold separately):
- Onsite Warranty — When a warranty repair is needed, a technician travels to your location the next day to fix the printer onsite.
- Spare in the Air (SITA) Warranty — When the printer needs warranty service, simply call Epson and a replacement printer will be shipped overnight. You'll then pack and ship the broken printer back to Epson using pre-paid shipping.
