Hi everyone,

I’m trying to figure out the best color label printer setup for a small product business and I’m honestly getting overwhelmed by all the options.

What I need:

Full-color labels/stickers, High print quality for branding/packaging, Flexible label sizes, Labels up to around 160 mm max dimension especially in height, Around 100 labels/day for now, possibly waterproof/moisture-resistant labels later, I’ve been looking at things like:

• Epson ColorWorks series
• Afinia printers
• VIPColor
• Primera
• iColor
• other industrial/desktop roll label printers

A few models I came across:

• Epson C6500A / C6500P
• Afinia L502
• Epson C8000
• Afinia L901
• iColor 250

I’d really appreciate feedback from people actually using these machines in production: what you use, what problems you’ve had, what you’d avoid, what you’d buy again

Especially interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with any of these.

Thanks!
