UVgel inks are extremely resistant and durable, making them ideal for long-lasting applications such as wallpaper.
Canon Colorado M5W is a fully modular UVgel roll-to-roll printer designed for wide format graphics offering exceptional productivity and substantially expanding the range of premium graphics and décor applications that customers can create. One of the most exciting features of the Canon Colorado M5W is its hassle-free white ink printing capabilities. Thanks to the unique UVgel technology which offers high-opacity white ink with speeds up to three times faster than comparable technologies, even for multilayer modes.
