The gel advantage
The introduction of Canon UVgel technology, and its manifestation in the Colorado
1640 printer from Canon, set new standards in large format roll-to-roll automation and productivity. In developing Canon UVgel, the objective was to harness the strengths of traditional roll-to-roll printing technologies while eliminating their respective limitations and, ultimately, to enable print service providers to be more productive and cost-effective with their large format roll printing applications.
Print service providers around the globe have come to rely on this groundbreaking
technology platform, and we seek to help them serve their customers in even more ways. Opening doors for new experiences with eye-catching smooth gloss or rich velvety matte output—all at the push of a button. Our focus on helping print service providers resulted in a printer that allows you to expand your opportunities by giving you greater creative control over look and feel. With your own Colorado series printer, you can give your customers what they need while improving your bottom line. Rely on instant-dry prints on a wide range of materials thanks to market-proven Canon UVgel technology, unattended production, and breakthrough productivity.
Always meet challenging customer requests with “yes, of course.”
Canon has developed a new UVgel technology that made its debut in the Océ Colorado 1640 printer. UVgel technology is not a copy of evolution of existing technologies. It is an entirely NEW breakthrough, game-changing technology.
When developing UVgel technology, we analyzed current market technologies: solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV. Each technology has its specific strengths as well as limitations. We developed this UVgel product with one thought in mind – to combine all of the strengths of each of these technologies and eliminate their limitations in one single solution. Because these features are at the core of UVgel, we are able to break the laws of printing physics and print at speeds never before possible.
The 1650 includes a reformulated UVgel ink that is more durable, prints smoothly and doesn’t crack on flexible substrates.
INSPIRATION BY DESIGN
The Colorado Series 64″ roll-to-roll printers are powered by the patented Canon UVgel technology. Produce scratch resistant, odorless prints that require no drying time and enjoy the rich, colorful, razor-sharp images and impressive application range that are the hallmarks of the gel advantage.
The Colorado series of printers is designed with your business needs in mind, with print speeds that help you smoothly manage peak periods, improve profitability—thanks to reduced ink usage—and provide premium print quality on even the most basic media. Unprecedented levels of automation reduce the overhead from routine tasks such as media loading and daily maintenance, and free up your operators to focus on what really matters.
Breakthrough productivity to meet today’s short
turnaround times with ease.
