Colour label printers allow you to print exactly as many markings as you need at any given moment. You can print single labels, each with different graphics, a different barcode and different product data. Colour label printers eliminate the problem of excess stock and costly design changes made by external printing houses. The ability to personalise labels makes it easier to launch new products and adapt markings to customer requirements. On-site printing increases a company’s independence from external suppliers.
The choice of the right colour label printer depends on:
Colour label printers are available in many variants – with a 4” or 8” printhead width, with label peeling, with a cutter, with glossy or matte ink. Choosing the right printer will help optimise product marking costs. Etisoft specialists will help you choose a solution tailored to your needs.
Colour label printers are used in many sectors of the economy. In the food and textile industries they are used to print product and promotional labels – especially in small businesses such as coffee roasteries, which need colour labels to mark small product batches. Cosmetics manufacturers use them to create visually attractive packaging markings. In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries they enable the printing of labels containing the required safety information.
The production of premium cosmetics in small series requires printing labels practically in single copies. In such conditions, Epson ColorWorks and QuickLabel colour printers work best, allowing labels to be printed on an ongoing basis. They make it possible to create professional markings without ordering large print runs from a printing house. This is the ideal solution for manufacturers of natural cosmetics and premium brands.

Check the prices of EPSON color printers
Yes, it is. The printing method depends on how many colors you want on the label. Full-color labels are printed on color inkjet printers, such as EPSON ColorWorks. If you need to print your company logo or a pictogram in a different color on a thermal transfer label, you can do this in two steps. First, print the standard black text and barcodes on the labels using a black ribbon. Then rewind the printed label roll and load it back into the printer. Replace the black thermal transfer label with the colored one (e.g., red, blue, yellow) and print the colored element on the labels in the second pass.
Both inkjet and laser printers provide colour printing. For product labels, professional printers such as Epson ColorWorks, QuickLabel or TrojanLabel are most commonly used.
Colour label printers start from around PLN 5,000 net for a desktop-class device. Colour label printers for high volumes cost from several thousand to several tens of thousands of zlotys, depending on the print width and resolution as well as additional equipment.
In addition to the price of a colour label printer, the cost of consumables is important – the prices of labels, inks and waste ink containers. For industrial applications, the total cost of ownership of the device should be analysed.
