How Many Applications Can One Printer Handle? More Than You Think.

Every print shop reaches a point where customers begin asking for more.

A retail client wants window graphics, wall murals, and point-of-purchase displays for a seasonal promotion. A university needs event banners, wayfinding signs, and donor recognition graphics. A healthcare facility is updating interior branding while adding privacy graphics and directional signage.

The challenge isn't producing one of these applications- it's producing all of them efficiently.

The Canon Colorado XL-series was designed for shops ready to expand what's possible. As Canon's first UVgel printer supporting both roll-to-roll flexible media and rigid boards from a single production platform, it gives print providers the flexibility to produce a broader range of applications while simplifying production.

The result is more than a new printer- it's an opportunity to take on more of the projects your customers already need.

What Applications Can Help Your Print Business Grow?

The Canon Colorado XL-series is designed to support a broad mix of applications across multiple industries, helping shops expand their capabilities while keeping more work in-house.

Vehicle Wraps and Fleet Graphics

Vehicle graphics remain one of the most visible forms of advertising. Businesses of every size rely on wraps and fleet graphics to build brand awareness, whether on service vans, delivery trucks, trailers, or company vehicles.

Supporting compatible wrap films allows shops to produce high-impact graphics that continue to be in demand across many industries.

Wall Graphics and Interior Décor

Interior spaces have become an extension of a company's brand. Corporate offices, hospitals, schools, museums, hotels, and retail stores increasingly use wall graphics, murals, and decorative displays to create engaging environments.

Expanding into interior décor applications allows print providers to serve customers looking for more than traditional signage.

Window Graphics

Window graphics serve many purposes beyond advertising. Retail promotions, privacy films, seasonal campaigns, decorative graphics, and branded storefronts all help businesses communicate with customers before they walk through the door.

Banners and Promotional Graphics

From grand openings and community festivals to sporting events and corporate promotions, banners continue to be one of the most requested wide-format products.

Supporting banner production allows shops to provide durable, eye-catching graphics for customers across nearly every industry.

Retail Displays and Point-of-Purchase Graphics

Today's retail environments rarely rely on a single graphic. A complete campaign may include window graphics, wall displays, promotional banners, shelf graphics, and rigid point-of-purchase displays working together to create a consistent customer experience.

Foam Board, PVC, and ACM Signage

Rigid graphics remain essential for commercial signage, presentations, retail displays, directional signs, and branded environments. With support for rigid boards up to 2 inches thick, the Canon XL-series expands the types of signage shops can produce while complementing their existing roll-to-roll capabilities.

Trade Show and Event Graphics

Trade shows, conferences, sporting events, and community festivals require a wide variety of graphics working together. Display panels, banners, booth graphics, presentation boards, sponsor signage, and directional graphics all contribute to a successful event.

Why Choose the Canon Colorado XL-series for Flexible and Rigid Printing?

The Canon Colorado XL-series brings together two production workflows on one platform.

Supporting roll media up to 11 feet wide and weighing up to 397 pounds, along with rigid boards up to 2 inches thick with virtually no practical length restriction, the printer gives you the flexibility to move between flexible graphics and rigid signage without relying on separate production systems.

Instead of choosing between roll-to-roll production or rigid printing, you can expand the types of work you produce while managing both from a single Canon UVgel platform.

Is the Canon Colorado XL-series Right for Your Shop?

The Canon XL-series is designed for print providers looking to broaden the range of applications they produce.

It may be a strong fit for businesses that:

    • Want to expand beyond traditional roll graphics.
    • Currently outsource rigid signage or display work.
    • Serve retail, healthcare, education, hospitality, museums, events, or commercial signage markets.
    • Want to produce a wider variety of applications from one production platform.
    • Are looking to grow by offering more solutions to existing customers.
