Jun 24th 2024
As a small business owner, you're well-versed in the art of multitasking. So, when it comes to finding a label printing solution, you need a printer that's just as dynamic and versatile as you are.
Get Started with On-Demand Color Label Printing
On-demand label printing allows companies of all sizes to print their own high-quality color labels for a wide range of applications. Since you’re able to print the exact number of color labels you need as you need them, on-demand label printing offers a smart way to reduce costs, eliminate waste and streamline operations.
Best of all, with today’s inkjet color label printer technology, it’s convenient and more affordable than ever to print labels in-house for packaging, product identification, warehouse location and GHS labels.
If you’ve ever experienced the frustration of dealing with a faulty office printer, you know that not all printers are created equal. Speed and reliability matter, especially in high duty cycle industrial applications.
Here at General Data, we’ve curated a selection of high-quality and cost-effective color label printers intended for companies like yours.

Print Wide Format Color Labels In-House: Epson ColorWorks C6500
Need to print in a wide format for GHS (Globally Harmonized System) labels or chemical drum labeling applications? Count on the durable Epson CW-C6500 wide-format color label printer!
Printing large format GHS labels in-house presents a unique set of challenges. You need a wide-format color label printer that’s rugged and reliable in harsh environments such as the bustling production floor, warehouse or shipping dock.
To adhere to rigorous compliance standards, GHS labels and chemical container labels also need to remain legible and intact even when exposed to moisture, abrasion, chemicals and UV rays. Not just any color label printer will do!
The C6500 color label printer uses next-generation PrecisionCore® print technology combined with Epson's UltraChrome inks to deliver outstanding durability, precision and color clarity — often exceeding the durability printed thermal transfer labels can offer.
When used with approved label stock, the labels printed with the Epson C6500 and UltraChrome inks are BS5609-certified, making them the ideal solution for printing GHS labels and other chemical drum labels in-house, on demand.
