Canon Colorado M-Series adds ‘white ink’ option

Canon’s newly launched Colorado M-Series roll-to-roll large-format graphics printer offers special effects and white ink printing capabilities. The first roll-to-roll large-format graphics printer platform is modular in speed configuration and media handling. It’s a fast and productive solution for this market segment, offering special effects and ‘white ink’ printing capabilities, says a release from the company. This 1.6m roll-to-roll printer retains the Canon Colorado series’ industrial build quality and can be configured to a graphics provider’s needs and grow with their business, with easy in-field upgrades.

The scalable M-Series offers a choice of output speeds as Colorado M3 or M5 cruising speed of 29 sq m/hr and 40 sqm/hr and maximum print speed of 111sq m/hr and 159 sq m/hr respectively, with the option to upgrade from one speed to the other either temporarily for production peaks or permanently. Both printers can be upgraded with the new ‘white ink’ option to M3W and M5W models as well as equipped with FLXfinish+ matte/gloss print technology option for CMYK prints. The FLXfinish+ option allows users to add matte, gloss or mixed matte and gloss on the same CMYK print, without additional varnish.
