Canon Colorado M5W Pro: What Should You Look for in Your Next Wide-Format Printer?

Sign shops today have more printing technologies and capabilities to consider when planning their next equipment investment. As customer expectations, applications, and turnaround times change, the right choice comes down to finding the technology that best supports the work your shop produces today- and where you want to grow next.

For shops exploring new application opportunities, technologies like UVgel offer capabilities worth considering.

Why Adding a Different Print Technology to Your Shop Helps Grow Your Business

For shops evaluating their next equipment investment, UVgel technology offers capabilities that go beyond traditional roll-to-roll production.

The Canon Colorado M5W Pro combines UVgel technology with white ink, giving shops more options for applications, such as window graphics, wallcoverings, retail displays, signage, and décor.

It also offers FLXture, which allows users to add a textured finish to selected areas of a print without adding another finishing step. These capabilities can give shops new ways to differentiate their output while expanding the types of projects they can offer customers.

The bigger consideration is whether your current equipment gives you the productivity, application range, and capabilities your business needs for what's next.
