Which ink cartridges work with the C6000?

The C6000 uses genuine Epson ink cartridges in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and either Matte Black or Gloss Black, depending on your printer’s version. Cartridges for other ColorWorks printers won’t work in the C6000.

Do the C6000 and C6500 use the same ink?

Yes. The C6000 and C6500 use the same ink cartridges. Just make sure the black matches your printer’s version: Matte Black for matte printers and Gloss Black for gloss printers.

Are these genuine Epson cartridges?

Yes. All ink cartridges we sell are genuine Epson ColorWorks cartridges, made for consistent color, reliable print quality, and the best performance from your printer.

Do I need Matte Black or Gloss Black?

It depends on your printer’s version. The matte C6000 uses Matte Black, and the gloss C6000 uses Gloss Black. The two blacks aren’t interchangeable, so check your printer’s version before ordering.

Do the matte and gloss versions use different color cartridges?

No. Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow work in both versions of the C6000. Only the black cartridge is different.

Can I replace one color at a time?

Yes. The C6000 uses a separate cartridge for each color, so you only replace the color that runs out.

How much ink is in each cartridge?

Each C6000 cartridge holds 80 mL of ink. How many labels you get depends on your label size and how much ink each design uses. Labels with large areas of solid color use more ink than labels with mostly text or small graphics.

What are the benefits of pigment ink?

Pigment ink produces long-lasting, smudge-resistant labels designed for durability. It’s a great fit for labels that need to hold up over time, like compliance labels, chemical labels, and product labels.

Is the C6000 ink BS5609 certified?

Yes, when it’s paired with the right labels. BS5609 is a durability standard for chemical and hazardous material labels, like GHS drum labels, that need to stay readable through long exposure to salt water, sunlight, and harsh conditions. BS5609 certifies the ink and label together, so to print compliant labels, use C6000 ink with a certified label material.

How do I know when my ink is running low?

Your printer’s control panel shows ink levels and alerts you when a cartridge is low.

Why does my printer use ink when I’m not printing?

The C6000 uses a small amount of ink for routine maintenance, such as print head cleaning, to keep print quality consistent. This waste ink collects in the SJMB6000 maintenance box.

How should I store ink cartridges?

Keep unopened cartridges in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use them before the date printed on the package.

Can I use non-Epson ink in my C6000?

We recommend genuine Epson ink. Damage caused by third-party or refilled cartridges may not be covered by your printer’s warranty.

Can I return ink cartridges?

Yes. Unopened ink cartridges can be returned within 30 days of purchase. An RMA number is required for all returns. See the Returns tab for details.

Overview & FAQs

Learn All About Epson ColorWorks CW-C6000 Ink Cartridges

Epson ColorWorks CW-C6000 Ink Cartridges

Genuine Epson ink cartridges are made for the ColorWorks CW-C6000 and give you sharp, durable, professional color labels on demand. The C6000 uses pigment-based ink for long-lasting, smudge-resistant labels, which makes it a great fit for product branding, compliance labeling, inventory management, and more.

The C6000 uses four individual cartridges: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Each cartridge holds 80 mL of ink, and since every color is separate, you only replace the color that runs out. These are the same cartridges used in the C6500, so if you run both printers, you can stock one set of ink for both.

The C6000 can be ordered as a matte or gloss printer, and each version uses its own black ink. The matte version uses Matte Black, and the gloss version uses Gloss Black. Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow are the same for both versions. Make sure the black cartridge you choose matches your printer’s version.

At Smith Corona, we offer competitive pricing and expert support to keep your C6000 printing at its best. Keep spare cartridges on hand so you’re ready to print whenever you need labels.
