Product and Workflow Overview
Create the label in your compatible printer or supported software, select the installed supply and check the layout before printing. After printing, fit and recover the tube following Epson’s instructions.
Choose by cable diameter as well as AWG
The nominal tube size is not the cable diameter. Measure the insulated cable and compare it with Epson’s recommended wire-diameter range for this SKU. AWG is a guide because insulation thickness varies between wires.
