Epson C4000: Gloss Ink vs. Matte Ink – Which is Right for You?
Understanding the nuances between the Epson ColorWorks C4000 Gloss and Matte ink versions is crucial for selecting the optimal printer for your specific labeling applications. Both models in the Epson ColorWorks C4000 Label Printer series utilize durable pigment-based inks and are BS5609 certified. However, their black ink formulations cater to different media types and aesthetic preferences.
The Gloss Ink Edition (C31CK03A9991) is equipped with Gloss Black Ink, offering versatility across a broader spectrum of label substrates. This version excels on glossy, matte, plain, and various other media finishes, making it a flexible choice for diverse labeling needs.
Conversely, the Matte Ink Edition (C31CK03A9981) employs Matte Black Ink, specifically formulated to deliver richer, sharper black text and images on matte, textured, and plain media. If your primary application involves printing on matte surfaces and requires maximum black density and crispness, the Matte Ink Edition is the ideal selection. Both the gloss and matte versions share the same color ink cartridges, ensuring consistent color quality regardless of the black ink type chosen.

Unmatched Print Quality for Professional Labels
At the heart of the Epson ColorWorks C4000 lies Epson’s renowned PrecisionCore® TFP® printhead technology. This advanced printhead is engineered to produce ultra-sharp text and highly accurate barcodes, critical for both informational and compliance labels. Combined with a 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, the printer achieves exceptional image clarity and detail. The technology enables variable droplet sizes, resulting in smooth color gradations, intricate image details, and a wide color gamut for vibrant and precise color reproduction. Whether you need to create complex product labels with detailed graphics or clear, concise informational labels, the Epson ColorWorks C4000 consistently delivers professional-grade print quality.
Seamless System Integration with ESC/Label & ZPL II
The Epson ColorWorks C4000 is designed for easy integration into existing workflows. Featuring ZPL II compatibility, businesses can seamlessly transition to Epson inkjet technology without the complexities and costs of reprogramming current systems. This compatibility ensures a smooth upgrade path for users familiar with ZPL II command language.
Furthermore, ESC/Label command extensions provide access to the full spectrum of color printing capabilities. By leveraging color, businesses can enhance brand recognition with product images and logos, improve information clarity with color-coded fields, and incorporate marketing messages directly onto labels. This strategic use of color can significantly enhance brand image and streamline business processes.
