Canon U.S.A. has announced the upcoming Colorado XL-series, a new platform of 3.4m printers that extends the proven benefits of Canon’s UVgel technology to the 3.2m (or 10ft) graphics market. Set to be available in hybrid and roll-to-roll configurations, the modular, field upgradable platform is designed to deliver great versatility and outstanding productivity for both flexible and rigid media applications. The Colorado XL-Series comprises two easy-to-operate models: the Colorado XL7R roll-to-roll printer and Colorado XL7H hybrid printer. Like the Colorado M-series, the Colorado XL-series modular platform design is intended to provide a future-proof investment.
Colorado XL-Series brings the benefits of UVgel to a new market segment with amazing application versatility across an extensive range of media – from banner, paper, vinyl and films to textiles, heat-sensitive materials, foam board, fluted polypropylene, acrylic and ACM aluminum composite panels – providing the flexibility to tackle diverse customer requirements. With print speeds of up to 753sqft/hr in Quality Mode, up to 1,140sqft/hr in Production Mode and up to 2,271sqft/hr in Express Mode, the system is designed to deliver the productivity needed for demanding production environments while accommodating substrates up to 2 inches thick for rigid applications and rolls up to 12 inch in diameter for flexible applications.
