VIPColor VP610 Replacement Options

Find a color label printer that fits your next step.

Looking for the VP610? Barcode Factory no longer sells VIPColor products. Start with the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6000 for 4-inch-class production labeling. If throughput and longer runs are the priority, also review the CW-C8000.

Compare print width, daily volume, label delivery and supplies before choosing your replacement.

The VP610 Is No Longer Sold Here

Barcode Factory has discontinued sales of VIPColor products. This page helps VP610 shoppers evaluate another color printing option based on their application.

Start with width: the VP610 supported printing up to 8.5 inches wide. The CW-C6000 supports printing up to 4.25 inches wide. It does not replace the VP610’s full-width capability; wider designs require a different printer.

Recommended Starting Point

Epson ColorWorks CW-C6000

A 4-inch-class color label printing option with auto-cutter and peel-and-present configurations. Review it for product variations, variable data and production labeling when its print width fits your designs.

Detailed Color Output

Up to 1200 × 1200 dpi resolution for label artwork, text and barcodes. Evaluate a sample using your actual design and label material.

Label Delivery Options

Choose the CW-C6000A for an auto cutter or the CW-C6000P for peel-and-present operation. Review how labels will be collected or applied in your workflow.

Ink & Media Selection

Review the pigment ink system and available gloss or matte black ink configurations with compatible label stock before ordering.

Replacing the printer also means reviewing the workflow. Check label stock, ink, drivers, templates and any connected label handling equipment. Confirm compatibility before reusing existing supplies or production settings.

Two Options to Review

Choose Around Your Production Needs

The CW-C6000 and CW-C8000 serve different workflow priorities. Compare the complete setup and expected output using your own labels.

Starting Point Review when cutter or peel-and-present operation is central to the workflow. Review when higher-volume output and production throughput are the main priorities.
Maximum Print Width 4.25 inches 4.25 inches
Label Delivery CW-C6000A auto-cutter or CW-C6000P peel-and-present configurations. Auto-cutter configuration. Review any downstream label handling requirements.
Production Review Check output at the required resolution, label size and run length. Check throughput with your artwork, media, print settings and finishing process.
Supplies Choose compatible label stock and the correct ink configuration. Review the model-specific ink pack system and compatible label stock.

Neither model covers the VP610’s full 8.5-inch print width. Share your widest artwork before choosing a replacement.

VP610 replacement planning guide
What to Check CW-C6000 Consideration
Print Width Maximum print width is 4.25 inches. If your artwork needs more width, review a wider model such as the CW-C6500, which prints up to 8.34 inches.
Label Stock Confirm finished label dimensions, media width, roll and core sizes, coating, sensing method and adhesive.
Daily Volume Share typical run lengths, peak demand and artwork coverage. Review expected throughput for your production schedule.
Finish & Durability The VP610 used dye inks; the CW-C6000 uses pigment inks. Test the new ink-and-media combination for your actual moisture, handling and finish requirements.
Software & Data Review drivers, label templates, variable fields and system connections. ZPL II compatibility still requires testing of your commands and label output.
Label Delivery Select the auto-cutter or peel-and-present model. Confirm media suitability and compatibility with any rewinder, dispenser or applicator.
