The Epson C6500A comes equipped with a built-in auto cutter feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The auto cutter aids in creating variable length labels. That\u2019s right, this means the ability to customize the length of your labels for a wide range of options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The auto cutter can also be programmed to cut at any point: after each label, at the end of a print job, or not at all. That last option means users can print large batches of labels in one go with easy separation between print jobs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what labels specifically are we talking about? This printer utilizes inkjet labels on 3\u201d core rolls with options to print on paper or polypropylene. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-2{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:5px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:0px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:20px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Matte or Gloss<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did I mention you\u2019ll also need to decide between a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/inkjet-labels\/epson-ink-cartridges\/epson-colorworks-c6500a-gloss-ink-cartridges.html\">gloss<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/inkjet-labels\/epson-ink-cartridges\/epson-colorworks-c6500a-matte-ink-cartridges.html\">matte<\/a> version<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing this ink set will affect the inkjet labels you\u2019ll be printing.

But not Epson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They developed new technology to not only circumvent this, but increase the abilities of their ColorWorks printer. It\u2019s called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/epson.com\/precisioncore-advanced-printing-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PrecisionCore<\/span><\/a>\u24c7<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, PrecisionCore\u24c7 is designed to last the entire life of your Epson printer. This means no replacements, no additional costs, no wasted downtime waiting for a new part.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epson relies on Nozzle Verification Technology to automatically detect and fix clogged nozzles, preventing print defects and issues that would require a new printhead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, this \u201cnext-generation printhead technology\u201d is engineered to achieve 2 core points: professional quality and dramatic speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This printhead has 2-3 times the resolution as their previous piezo printheads. At <\/span><b>40 million dots per second <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(that\u2019s right, 40 million!), it delivers professional output with impeccable quality for barcodes, texts, and images.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you would think such dramatic image quality would hinder the print speed. But that\u2019s not the case with PrecisionCore\u24c7.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The printhead nozzles are designed to fire droplets quickly with multiple drops of ink on-demand.

that this issue only arises for first time use of the C6500A. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the initial setup, the printer goes through an \u201cink charging\u201d process. This is simply a way of getting ink into the printer for the first time. Once completed, it then allows ink to move quickly through the printer when operating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the process quickly consumes ink in the full cartridge samples sent with the printer. Meaning your left with less ink to begin printing your labels once setup is finished. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also means the maintenance box fills up quickly. Think of the maintenance box like a garbage can: excess ink waste gets dumped in during tasks like ink charging. Once it\u2019s full, a new one is installed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s recommended that new buyers add both additional ink cartridges and an additional maintenance box to their purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But remember, this is the <\/span><b>only <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time the printer will consume ink this quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the samples are replaced, users can determine any further replacement orders based on their own specific use and labeling needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-13{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-13 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-13{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-13 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-13{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-13 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-14{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-15 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-14 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-13{margin-top:5px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-13{margin-top:0px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:20px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-13 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Slower Print Speeds (But Great Quality!)<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-16\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slow and steady has its pros and cons when it comes to printing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all of the other positives the C6500A has, having such a slow print speed is definitely a bummer: only up to 5 inches per second.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the C6500A is specifically made for printing high-quality color designs. And with a maximum print resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi (the highest of any Epson Colorworks printer), a slower print speed is manageable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This speed does make it one of Epson\u2019s slowest printers, especially when compared to other models like the C7500G.

Just note that it will lower the print quality setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-14{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-14 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-14{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-14 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-14{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-14 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-15{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-16 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-15 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-14{margin-top:5px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-14{margin-top:0px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:20px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-14 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><b>Printer Specifications<\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-1\">\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th align=\"left\"><\/th>\n<th align=\"left\">Epson CW-C6500A<\/th>\n<th align=\"left\">Epson CW-C7500G<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><strong>Print Resolution\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"left\">1200 x 1200 dpi<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"left\">1200 x 600 dpi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><strong>Max.

So Is the C6500A worth your money?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for an on-demand color printer that allows you to cut labels at varying lengths and print width up to 8-inches for larger applications, <strong>this is the printer for you<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a sturdy printer that offers high resolution and vibrant color printing, especially for a wide range of label length sizes. And it\u2019s one of Epson\u2019s more modestly priced inkjet printers. So you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re spending too much on one piece of equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, not coming with its own label design software is kind of a letdown. And printing slower can add some bumps in the road for larger print jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the quality of color label you\u2019re getting with practically no maintenance or upkeep required outweighs these negatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been searching for a new color printer, the C6500A is definitely a contender.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to purchase your very own Epson C6500A printer?
