The Canon Colorado M3W is a modular 1.6-metre roll-to-roll printer built around Canon’s UVgel technology. This model is part of the scalable M-series, which allows users to configure the printer to their specific needs and perform in-field upgrades as business requirements grow. The M3W configuration includes white ink as standard, enabling an expanded range of high-value applications on coloured and transparent media. The UVgel ink technology provides instantly cured, dry prints with high scratch resistance.
Key to the Colorado M3W’s functionality is FLXfinish+, a system that allows operators to produce both gloss and matte finishes within a single print, without needing to change inks or use a separate varnish channel. This feature is particularly useful for producing premium interior décor, retail graphics, and packaging prototypes. The printer’s low-heat UV LED curing process ensures compatibility with a broad spectrum of media, including heat-sensitive substrates. The M3W is designed for high productivity, featuring automated maintenance and efficient ink usage to support a lower total cost of ownership. It is engineered for print service providers requiring consistent quality and the versatility to produce durable applications such as backlit displays, custom wallpapers, vehicle graphics, and general signage with the added benefit of high-opacity white ink.
