Question what printer can do this?

[netsol]

a good longtime client got a lead on someone printing color shelf labels for store "resets"
changing shelf product labels. (product name, barcode, and cute little color picture from the planagram)
they do 10's of thousands of these a day (roughly 2,000 per location, variable data of course) we use little zebra printers now in the field * have a option on the ordering app to request shelf labels to accompany the order when it is delivered the next day

everyone is drooling at the prospect of being the first with color pictures on the shelf labels in our area. i certainly have not seen full color on this sort of thing.
brother (Yuk!) makes 2 color printers for ID badge systems.

currently printing 1" x 2" direct thermal or thermal transfer

Afinia? Epson makes some machines as well. Probably bunch of others.

i have never seen an epson in that format. i will check it out. thank you

for a high volume client, ( i will bet we have printed 20,000,000 labels in the last 20 years on our zebras )

Epson TM-C7500 series is what I use for that kind of stuff. Prints at about 1km/hr up to 4" wide.

i just looked at a c4000

didn't even get far enough yet

do they require special label stock?

i see they have matte and gloss?

do you get to change this after the initial choice or do i need to fly in an engineering team and pay for a nice hotel suite?

i think of the epson stylus pro 7600 where you had a choice of photo dye or pigment (original ultrachrome)
you chose by which (i forget which color) starter cartridge you put it, it flashed the formatter board.
