Print speed and production capacity
5 in/sec applies at 3.5 in print width, 300 × 600 dpi. Normal mode at this width is 2.1 in/sec.
| Print setting | Resolution | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Max Speed | 300 × 600 dpi | 5 in/sec |
| Speed | 600 × 600 dpi | 3.2 in/sec |
| Normal | 600 × 600 dpi | 2.1 in/sec |
| Quality | 600 × 1200 dpi | 0.7 in/sec |
| Max Quality | 1200 × 1200 dpi | 0.3 in/sec |
Maximum resolution and maximum speed are different settings. File processing, roll and ink changes, cleaning, start/stop jobs and finishing affect total throughput.
Monthly output examples
For 4 in label length, a 0.125 in gap, 20 working days and 50% productive time. Normal, 600 × 600 dpi; 3.5 in print width. Continuous batch output; cutting every label can reduce the result.
| Scheduled printing | Calculated labels/month |
|---|---|
| 2 hours/day | About 37,000 |
| 8 hours/day | About 147,000 |
These examples are calculations using published engine speeds and assumed working time. They are not tested production guarantees or an Epson recommended monthly duty cycle. For sustained production, ask ForeFront to test your artwork and media.
Estimate your monthly output
Adjust the assumptions to match your work. Speed choices use the print width shown above.
50% productive time is an editable planning assumption, not a measured printer efficiency. Continuous batch output; cutting every label can reduce the result. Your actual workflow can produce fewer labels.
