The Canon Colorado M5W is the white ink-enabled configuration of the high-speed M5 model, a modular 1.6-metre roll-to-roll printer. This machine is built on Canon’s signature UVgel technology, which uses a gel-based ink that is instantly cured by low-heat UV LEDs. This process produces durable, scratch-resistant prints that are immediately dry and ready for use. The M5W configuration is specifically designed for businesses requiring high productivity on an expanded range of media, including coloured, black, and transparent substrates, made possible by the high-opacity white UVgel ink.
Like other printers in the M-series, the M5W is fully modular. It features FLXfinish+ technology, which enables the production of both gloss and matte finishes in a single print without a separate varnish. With a maximum print speed of 159 sqm/h, the M5W is engineered for high-volume environments that also require the versatility of white ink for premium applications. The UVgel white ink technology is designed for reliability, resisting the sedimentation issues sometimes associated with white ink. Combined with automated maintenance and efficient ink usage, the Colorado M5W provides a comprehensive solution for producing a wide array of applications, including window graphics, backlit signage, custom wallpapers, and high-value retail displays.
