Key Features and Benefits 

• Unrivaled Print Quality with UVgel Technology
  The Canon Colorado M-Series harnesses the power of UVgel ‘print-then-cure’ technology, using instant-dry gel inks cured with UV LED lights. This unique process deposits more ink in fewer passes, ensuring razor-sharp prints with a wide color gamut, strong saturation for dark colors, and accurate skin tones. Prints are odorless, fade-resistant, and scratch-resistant, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor applications, including sensitive environments like schools and hospitals, thanks to GREENGUARD Gold certification. 
  
  

• Hassle-Free White Ink Printing
  The M-Series offers optional white ink (available on M3W and M5W models), delivering high-opacity results up to three times faster than comparable technologies. With no daily manual maintenance or printhead treatment required, the white ink option simplifies workflows and reduces downtime. Add or upgrade white ink capabilities with a simple service visit, ensuring your printer evolves with your needs.
  
  
• FLXfinish+ for Versatile Finishing
  Stand out with the revolutionary FLXfinish+ technology, allowing you to print matte, gloss, or mixed matte-gloss finishes in a single print without varnish or additional printheads. Create high-value applications like luxurious wallcoverings or eye-catching displays with a velvety matte finish for interior décor or a brilliant gloss for packaging and signage. The FLXture feature adds subtle surface textures, elevating your prints with a premium, tactile experience. 
  
  

• Modular Design for Scalability
  The Colorado M-Series is designed to grow with your business. Start with the M3 or M3W configuration and upgrade to the M5 or M5W for increased speed (up to 159 m²/hr) or add features like double-sided printing, dual-roll capabilities, or magnetic media printing. Most upgrades, including speed boosts and FLXfinish+, require only a software license, while white ink can be added via a service visit, ensuring flexibility without major reinvestment. 
  
  

• Low Total Cost of Ownership
  Engineered for efficiency, the M-Series minimizes operating costs with low ink consumption (40% less than latex or eco-solvent inks), reduced energy use via low-temperature LED curing, and minimal media waste. The instant-on printing capability keeps standby energy consumption low, making it an eco-conscious choice for sustainable growth.
   

• High Productivity and Automation
  With print speeds up to 111 m²/hr (M3/M3W) and 159 m²/hr (M5/M5W), the M-Series delivers high-volume output without compromising quality. The automated PRISMAguide XL software streamlines complex workflows, including multi-step and double-sided applications, while PAINT (Piezo Acoustic Integrated Nozzle Technology) ensures consistent performance by monitoring and compensating for nozzle failures. Combine with Fotoba finishing equipment for end-to-end automation, perfect for mass-customized wallpaper production. 
  
  

• Versatile Media Compatibility
  From textured and transparent to reflective and heat-sensitive media, the M-Series handles a wide range of substrates, including magnetic media with an optional upgrade. This versatility empowers you to take on diverse projects, from bold signage to intricate décor, expanding your market opportunities. 
  
  

• Certified Quality and Safety
  The M-Series is backed by industry-leading certifications, including 3M™ MCS™ Warranty, Avery Dennison ICS Warranty, and GREENGUARD Gold for safe indoor use. Additional certifications like Indoor AgBB, CE EN 15102, ASTM F793 Type II, and Émissions dans l’air intérieur A+ ensure compliance with stringent environmental and safety standards.
