The 4 inch wide entry-level TM-C3500 has been replaced with the CW-C4010 printer, and is rated at around 500 labels per day, with relatively low print resolution compared to the other printers. The CW-C4010's typical print cycle would be less than 5 print jobs at a time.

The 8 inch wide CW-C6500 (C6510A / C6510P) and CW-C6000 (C6010A & C6010P) series printers are basically the same print engine, these are very high-resolution printers with daily print cycles in the order of around 2,000 labels per day. And a typical print run would be approximatly 100 labels.

The TM-C7500 is also a high-resolution printer but is the substantially higher speed at 300mm/sec, and can manage 5,000 labels per day. Typical print runs would range anywhere from a few hundred (on the low side) to several thousand at a time.

Please note that the above labels per day figure is an indication of capability and not a limitation. Many people are printing more than 500 labels per day on the CW-C4010, but it takes more time and effort to get them printed out.

It is not easy to calculate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for each of the models, as it all depends on the design, colours and material used, but in general, the more expensive the printer, the lower the TCO will be. LabelMate is able to do a print cost simulator that can provide precise ink costs and label yields per colour cartridge - Please email us your artwork in TIF or PDF format ( at least 300dpi resolution) and we can put it through the simulator.
