Canon adds innovations to Colorado M-series UVgel printer

Building on the global success of the Colorado M-Series, the modular 64 inch roll-to-roll printer with optional UVgel white ink that launched last year, Canon USA has announced the expansion of the appeal of the M-series with multiple innovations, available via a free firmware update, offering both new and existing customers the potential to expand their application ranges which may open opportunities to enter new market segments. The FLXfinish+ option, if used with the Colorado M-series, offers design creativity, enabling the addition of matte, gloss or mixed matte and gloss on the same print, without additional varnish.

This advanced option allows for the creation of striking visual effects and textures, enhancing the tactile experience of the final product. Moreover, it streamlines the printing process by limiting the need for post-print varnishing, helping to save time and reduce production costs. A new feature now available for the Colorado M-series printer is FLXture, a five-ink-layer printing technology that allows users to add micro-texture to larg-format prints for subtle surface detail, copying the luxurious and sensory feel of materials such as wood and leather. Creative print applications can be designed with an easy-to-use recipe in the PRISMAguide XL V3.4 software release, which intelligently prepares the layers of UVgel ink for printing.
