BUSINESS INKJET
GP-C830/GP-M830
Whether it’s the chemical or logistics industries, Epson’s latest
inkjet printer with a tractor feeder is built to meet the toughest label
printing specifications. With a long life suited for high print volume
operations, high-capacity ink cartridges and sharp printouts on
ultra-durable ink, business will run as reliably as your next printout.
Assured Reliability
Epson’s GP-C830/M830 inkjet printers are tough enough to handle the needs
of industries and medical institutions that cannot afford downtime. With an
impressive lifecycle of 600,000 pages* – 6x longer than conventional inkjet
printers – downtime is dramatically reduced while the bottom line is improved
with a lower total cost of ownership.
Easy Paper Handling
Even the best printers jam. With Epson technology, clearing paper
jams is quick and fuss free. The GP-C830/M830 automatically releases
paper guide when a jam is detected, allowing for the rapid removal
and re-setting of media. Manual release can also be performed with
a simple one-touch operation. Additionally, the top cover slides open
easily for quick removal and print restart.
Revolutionary Print-head Protection
Printers that use fanfold paper tend to collect paper dust on the print head,
which results in frequent nozzle clogging and missing ink dots. Epson’s new
head protection system drastically reduces the accumulation of dust and dirt,
providing longer continuous operation between periodic maintenance.
* When printing on 241.3 mm x 279.4 mm (9.5” x 11”) paper. Varies depending on usage
environment, print pattern and type of paper used.
The top cover slides open – a convenient safety feature that stops operation.

High-capacity Ink Cartridges
High-capacity ink cartridges enable affordable, large-volume printing while
dramatically decreasing downtime spent changing cartridges, creating more
uptime and less periodic maintenance. The GP-M830 is equipped with two
black ink cartridges that are used simultaneously, doubling ink capacity and
further decreasing downtime.
Sharper Printouts
Epson DURABrite™ Ultra produces high-quality
prints that have excellent resistance to water,
chemicals, fading and smudges. Durability like
this makes GP-C830/M830 ideal for hospitals,
laboratories, supermarkets and wherever liquids or
other moisture is present.
Reduced Noise and Power Usage
Unlike conventional dot impact printers, GP-C830/M830 inkjet printers
operate quietly and do not contribute to workplace noise. In addition, they
also consume less energy, which is a huge advantage for energy-conscious
offices and in areas with inconsistent power supply.
High Output that Reduces Costs
The GP-C830/M830 shines in workplaces where fast printing is vital – with
a fast 19.7* ppm for GP-C830/M830. Overall running costs are lower
compared to laser printers.
PARTNERS IN PERFECTION
Enjoy greater savings with Epson’s cost-effective ink
cartridges. You can now maximise the usage of your
ink cartridges by only replacing the empty cartridge,
allowing for continuous printing.

Epson pigment ink
Epson pigment ink is not water soluble
and firmly binds to media fibers,
resisting water and other moisture.
Conventional dye-based ink is water
soluble so printouts can be negatively
affected by water and other moisture.
Barcodes are Clear and Sharp
Installing the included printer driver automatically loads fonts for barcode
printing, assuring razor-sharp barcodes even on plain paper.

Crisp, high-density barcodes are printed
consistently until the ink runs out.
Faint, low-density barcodes when
the ribbon is nearly used up exhibit
