Epson TM-C3400: Promoting Attention and Safety Using Colour

Colour Protects People and Investments

Human attention is a valuable asset. Ensuring correct medication, proper installation of spare parts, or authorized access to areas are critical. The legibility of printed labels, especially under time pressure, can have serious consequences.

Colour is an effective signal: Colour is a reliable way of warning about danger. Colourfully accentuated warning and danger messages are clearly and unmistakably understood, even under time pressure.

Colour is understood instantly: Colour helps communicate complex content at a glance. It highlights facts, sets priorities, and differentiates among groups and categories.

Colour highlights your brand and your image: Colour ensures that logos are recognized, triggering positive emotions like trust and good memories of past experiences.

The Epson TM-C3400 colour label printer offers new applications for reliable visual identification using colour in healthcare, logistics, trade, industry, and marketing. It can print a wide range of formats, materials, and surfaces on demand, allowing you to produce your own colour labels as needed, saving costs associated with expensive pre-printed stock.

A Printer for a Wide Range of Applications

• Medical

  Colour labels improve process quality in healthcare by helping identify patients and medications, highlighting important auxiliary information in medical charts, and improving the visibility of chargeable services for accurate accounting.

• Events & Ticketing

  Personalized, colourful wristbands are valuable for access control at events. Customised tickets prevent counterfeits, and colour enhances unique and attractive designs.

• Logistics

  Coloured dispatch labels help rapidly select different groups and categories. Warnings about sensitive or hazardous packages are instantly noticeable due to colour.

• Industry

  Colour facilitates industrial manufacturing processes efficiently. In the automotive industry, colour labels help employees reliably identify and assign components, reducing errors even under stressful conditions.

• Retail

  Colour-highlighted information on price labels boosts sales promotion potential. Whether for advertising material or additional information, colour increases turnover and sales margins.

• Air travel

  Colour-coded priorities and personal ID photos on boarding cards and baggage labels enhance security in the identification of baggage and passengers, complementing automatic and visual inspections.

Print Thousands of Tickets Every Day

The Epson TM-C3400 desktop inkjet label printer offers an "in-house print shop" solution for event promoters and ticket distributors. It is reliable, easy to operate, economical, and can print up to 1,000 colour labels per hour.

Ticketing: Protect Yourself Against Ticket Counterfeiters

Tickets represent monetary value and brand imagery. Personalizing admission tickets with colour helps prevent the black market and creates a more appealing visual impression. Colour draws attention to personalized elements, making staff verification faster and more reliable. It also allows for attractive design options and advertising space for sponsors. Epson pigment inks ensure enhanced permanency, ideal for tickets exposed to sunlight or moisture.

Wristbands: Highest Security for Your Major Event

Personalized wristbands provide reliable, fast, and cost-effective identification at concerts, sporting events, festivals, and more. The TM-C3400 enhances the security of conventional ID wristbands through personalization and colour, helping staff quickly verify authorization. Customizable designs for each event deter counterfeiters.

Applications for colourfully printed wristbands and tickets include:

• Trade shows and conferences (exhibition tags)
• Concerts and festivals (wristbands)
• Resorts and amusement parks (IDs)
• Car parks parking spaces (car park tickets)
• Sporting events (admission tickets)
• TV productions (admission tickets for the audience)

Greater Security for Doctors and Patients

Hospitals and clinics are investing in solutions for error-free patient identification and improved process quality. Colourfully printed labels represent a small investment with a large impact, protecting lives and health when critical decisions are made under time pressure.

• Patient wristband: Ensure correct allocation by means of a photo

  Printed wristbands with barcodes and text reliably identify patients. They are used for specific groups and all in-patients, lowering the risk of mix-ups and medication errors. Colour ID photos can identify unresponsive or anaesthetised patients and children, ensuring correct medications and therapies.

• Injections and infusions: Label your preparations

  In operating rooms and intensive care stations, preparing injections and infusions in advance is sometimes necessary. If a syringe's original label is lost, colour labels printed on demand help staff declare contents quickly and conveniently using a "click and paste" principle, saving time and raising process quality.

• Medical controlling: Charge costly medications correctly

  Hospitals can lose money on uncharged elective services or expensive medications. Colour labels provide staff with a clear visual indication from the moment drugs are dispensed that certain high-priced medications require careful documentation, preventing revenue loss.
