Printer maker Epson has introduced its new Epson label media designed for the ColorWorks C3500 on-demand colour label printer using DURABrite Ultra pigment ink.

“Sourcing and testing label media can take a lot of time and effort, as there is a vast amount of media options with varying degrees of performance,” said Bonny Chou, product manager, Commercial Labels, Epson America, Inc. “With the new Epson media, our customers can start printing right away, with confidence they are using a known media guaranteed to work with the ColorWorks C3500 and that will deliver exceptional results.”
