Canon Colorado M-Series: Print Brilliantly on Clear Media with Worry-Free White Ink

Written by Liliana Wright | Aug 20, 2026, 1:00:01 PM

White ink has opened the door to some of today's most eye-catching print applications- from storefront window graphics and transparent decals to backlit displays and layered designs. But for many print providers, white ink has also introduced new challenges, including maintenance, inconsistent opacity, and workflow interruptions.

The Canon Colorado M-Series was designed to simplify white ink production. Powered by Canon UVgel technology, it delivers vibrant color, high-opacity white ink, and reliable performance on clear and specialty media, making it easier to produce premium graphics with confidence.

Why White Ink Matters for Clear Media Applications

Printing on clear substrates isn't as simple as laying down color. Without a white ink layer, colors can appear washed out or disappear entirely when applied to transparent films or windows.

White ink provides the foundation that allows graphics to stand out while maintaining vibrant color and crisp detail. Some applications include storefront window graphics, retail promotions, interior glass graphics, window decals, backlit displays, layered day/night graphics, and clear labels and specialty graphics.

For businesses looking to expand their application portfolio, white ink opens opportunities that standard CMYK printing alone cannot achieve.

Superior White Ink Performance With UVgel Technology

The Canon Colorado M-Series combines UVgel technology with high-opacity white ink to produce bright, durable graphics on clear substrates.

Benefits include:

    • Excellent white opacity for vibrant graphics
    • Sharp detail on transparent media
    • Durable images designed for demanding environments
    • Consistent print quality across a variety of applications
    • Support for both three-color and five-color white ink workflows

 

Whether producing simple window graphics or more advanced layered applications, UVgel technology helps maintain image quality while supporting efficient production.

Expand Your Application Portfolio

White ink isn't just another ink channel- it's an opportunity to offer applications that help customers create more engaging environments. Some potential applications include:

    • Office and architectural glass graphics
    • Restaurant and hospitality windows
    • Privacy graphics
    • Museum and exhibit graphics
    • Branded interior environments

These premium applications can help shops differentiate their services while expanding into new markets.
