According to the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Convention Data Services (CDS), Dave Wuethrich, printing a badge is one of the first steps onsite for attendees, but it is also one of the most crucial aspects of any event as it’s what is used to attract, engage, and understand attendees from lead generation through retrospective data.

After being introduced to the Epson Colorworks C4000 label printer the CDS team decided to evaluate the Epson printer to consider streamlining and standardizing badge printer offerings, increasing efficiencies with logistics and onsite support which included flexibility.

Wuethrich mentioned that CDS had two specific goals for updating its badge offerings. One was standardization- to have a single badge printing solution that was capable of printing full-color badges on-demand, while simultaneously simplifying its inventory management, planning, and logistics for badge printing materials and equipment.

“We don’t have an option for a printer not to work. We won’t be in business if our printers do not work on-site, when they are needed, without issue. Reliability is critical”
“The Colorworks checked all the boxes. In the validation process and in the field, they have proven to be reliable, can quickly produce high-quality color badges, and withstand tough handling conditions.”
