Precision

Printhead


PrecisionCore printheads are self-maintaining. They are designed to outlast the printers.
Ink


Billions of microelectronic decisions control the drops. The volume of the smallest is 5% of the largest.
Print


The aqueous drops dry instantly. Their pigments lock into the labels and resist chemicals.

Print

Laser-like text


PrecisionCore prints high definition text down to 3 points
Vibrant colours


Epson ink pigments create a wide gamut of colour
Colour coding


Colour coding speeds up handling and avoids mistakes

Labels

There are many face materials for ink jet printers.
Codeway label experts will help you make a choice
Paper


Matt, semi-gloss, gloss, textured and laid papers that are ideal for labels, and cards for tags
Film


Matt, satin, gloss, clear and silver labels made from PE, HDPE, PP, BOPP or PET for plastic packaging
Durable


Look to tough BS5609 approved synthetics for chemical, weatherproof and other durable labels
Fabric


Woven polyester labels sew in or iron on to clothing, fabrics and furnishings (e.g. carpets, mattresses)
Composite


Composite labels for tyres and industrial products, as well as wraparound labels for goods in transit
Tags


Heavy duty synthetics and composites for tagging basic materials, metals and building products

Printing Cost

How to minimise cost
Large brand images
When the same brand graphics cover the major part of your labels, print long runs of them on a press as blanks. Then use Colorworks printers to overprint your variable content on demand.

Consider printing everything on plain labels if there is a risk of printed blanks going obsolete.

The extra cost may be small. The cost of printing a label in a run of millions on a four colour press is about the same as the cost of Colorworks inks for 50% coverage.

Logos and small brand images
When brand graphics cover a minor part of the label (less than 50% of its area) print everything on plain labels with a Colorworks printer.

No logos or images
Print everything on plain labels with Colorworks!
Variable content
Brand images


Labels like Purax
When brand graphics cover over half the label, have them printed on a press as blanks. It's worth doing only if the press run is well above the breakeven point (15-50,000 plain labels, varies with ink coverage).

Labels like Brights
Ink jet print plain labels when there is no fixed content or its solid colour covers less than half the label.
