When imaging on metallic stock, Canon Colorado M-series printers with white ink, together with Color-Logic software, deliver outstanding images and, provide incredible door-openers for Canon printer owners. Particularly outstanding print opportunities with this combination range from personalized short-run labels to end caps, countertop displays, and signage."
Mathieu Peeters, Senior Director Strategic Marketing Large Format Graphics at Canon Production Printing said: “We see an enormous demand for the Colorado M-series, especially by the new application opportunities provided with white ink, featuring all benefits known from UVgel technology.

Any designer can produce decorative effects and embellishment with Color-Logic design tools at a fraction of the time and without the tedious trial and error methods often used.
