Which ink cartridges work with the C8000?

The C8000 uses genuine Epson ink packs in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and either Matte Black or Gloss Black, depending on your printer’s version. Ink for other ColorWorks printers won’t work in the C8000.

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 C8000 uses Matte Black, and the gloss C8000 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 C8000. Only the black ink pack is different.

Can I replace one color at a time?

Yes. The C8000 uses a separate ink pack for each color, so you only replace the color that runs out.

How much ink is in each cartridge?

Each C8000 ink pack holds 480 mL of ink, so it’s built for high-volume printing. 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 C8000 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 C8000 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 an ink pack is low.

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

The C8000 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 SJMB7500 maintenance box.

How should I store ink cartridges?

Keep unopened ink packs 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 C8000?

We recommend genuine Epson ink. Damage caused by third-party or refilled ink 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.

Learn All About Epson ColorWorks CW-C8000 Ink Cartridges

Epson ColorWorks CW-C8000 Ink Cartridges

Genuine Epson ink cartridges are made for the ColorWorks CW-C8000 and give you sharp, durable, professional color labels for high-speed, high-volume production. The C8000 uses pigment-based ink that dries fast and resists smudging, smearing, and fading, which makes it a great fit for GHS and industrial labels, product branding, compliance labeling, and more.

The C8000 uses four individual high-capacity ink packs: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Each pack holds 480 mL of ink, so you can print more labels between changes, and since every color is separate, you only replace the color that runs out.

The C8000 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 ink pack you choose matches your printer’s version.

At Smith Corona, we offer competitive pricing and expert support to keep your C8000 printing at its best. Keep spare ink on hand so your production line stays up and running.
