Before you order label rolls, three numbers decide whether they will run: the core size (the cardboard tube in the middle), the maximum roll diameter your printer or unwinder can hold, and the media width range it can feed. Get one wrong and the roll will not fit, will not feed, or will run out of space halfway through.
We pulled those numbers from manufacturer spec sheets and manuals for 59 colour inkjet roll printers. Use the table below to check your model, then shop rolls made to match.
- Only a handful of printers take a 2" core: the Epson CW-C4000 and TM-C3500, and the Primera LX400 and LX500. Almost everything else is 3" core.
- Many 3" core printers stop at a 6" roll, including every Primera from the LX600 to the LX4000, the Epson CW-C6500 and the Afinia L301 and L701. An 8" roll needs an external unwinder on those.
- Most 8.5" Memjet printers (Afinia L701, L801, L901 and the VIPColor range) need labels at least 2" wide.

"Max roll diameter" is the largest roll the printer or its standard unwinder holds. "Not published" means we could not find the number on a manufacturer page; ask us and we will confirm before you order.
How to measure a roll you already have
- Core: measure the inside of the cardboard tube. It will be close to 1", 2" or 3".
- Roll diameter (OD): measure straight across the full roll, edge to edge.
- Width: measure the backing paper (liner), not just the label. Die-cut labels usually sit on a liner about 1/8" wider than the label.
