Canon Colorado M3

A modular roll-to-roll UVgel printer for high-quality, versatile applications.

The Canon Colorado M3 is a modular 1.6m roll-to-roll printer engineered for high productivity and a wide application range. It utilises Canon’s UVgel piezoelectric inkjet technology, which offers instant-dry prints with notable scratch resistance. The M-series, including the M3, is designed to be scalable, allowing businesses to upgrade in-field as their production needs evolve. Options include increasing print speed, adding a second media roll, and incorporating white ink capabilities.

A key feature of the Colorado M3 is the FLXfinish+ technology, which allows for the production of both matte and gloss finishes in a single print without requiring a varnish or additional channel. This capability is particularly beneficial for creating premium applications such as interior décor and high-value retail graphics. The printer’s low-heat UV LED curing system makes it suitable for a wide variety of media, including thin and heat-sensitive substrates. The M3 is also designed for lower total cost of ownership, with reduced ink consumption compared to other technologies and automated maintenance features that minimise operator intervention. For businesses looking to produce vibrant, durable graphics for applications from soft signage and custom wallpaper to vehicle decals and backlit displays, the Colorado M3 provides a versatile and efficient solution.
