3M approves Canon Colorado 1650 & UVgel 460 ink for warranty programme

3M has approved Canon’s Colorado 1650 and its UVgel 460 ink for the 3M MCS Warranty programme, which covers applications including sign & display and vehicle wraps. UVgel is a breakthrough technology that is transforming the way wide format graphics and other applications are being produced, said the press release from Canon. This approval provides assurance that applications printed on the Colorado 1650 in combination with the UVgel 460 and 3M’s approved media will achieve the highest quality standards.

Applications covered by the 3M MCS Warranty include vehicle graphics, signs and displays, floor graphics and many others. The Colorado 1650 and its UVgel 460 inks, in combination with a variety of 3M media, passed a series of rigorous tests carried out under 3M’s stringent assessment conditions. Underpinned by the thorough testing of ink, printer and media combinations, including 3M’s elaborate weathering technology, the 3M MCS Warranty gives both print service providers and their customers peace of mind and confidence that their images will perform as expected for the intended lifetime of the printed graphic.
