ToggleWhat Makes the Colorado M5W Special?
The Canon Colorado M5W is part of Canon’s advanced M-series lineup, powered by UVgel technology and optimized for high-impact wide-format graphics. The “W” in M5W indicates white ink capability, which dramatically increases design versatility.
Key Features We’re Excited About
- Ultra-wide 64″ printing for stunning wall graphics, posters, retail displays, and signage
- UVgel instant-dry technology for faster finishing and zero smudging
- Vibrant white ink for printing on clear, dark, metallic, and specialty media
- High resolution (up to 1800 dpi) for crisp detail and premium visual output
- Mixed gloss + matte effects (FLXfinish+) in a single pass
- Certified environmentally friendly output – safe for indoor décor applications
This combination makes the Colorado M5W one of the most advanced options available in the Seattle large-format printing market.
How This Benefits Our Seattle Clients
1. Faster Turnaround Times
Printed graphics come off the machine completely dry, meaning we can laminate, cut, or install immediately. For clients who need quick delivery – retail, events, trade shows – this is a major advantage.
2. Higher-Quality, Longer-Lasting Prints
UVgel ink produces bold, consistent color while resisting scratching, fading, and peeling – perfect for installations around the Seattle area, indoors or outdoors.
3. Specialty Applications That Stand Out
Our new capabilities allow us to produce:
- Custom wallcoverings
- Window graphics with white ink
- Textured and premium décor substrates
- Backlit displays
- High-end retail graphics
- Waterproof outdoor signage
This positions us as one of the most versatile printing services in Seattle, capable of handling projects normally outsourced to specialty shops.
4. Better Value for Local Businesses
The machine delivers high production speeds without sacrificing quality, allowing us to offer competitive pricing while still producing premium-grade work.
Real-World Improvements We’ve Already Seen
Since installing the Colorado M5W, our workflow has become more efficient and flexible. Roll changes are easier, color consistency is exceptional, and white-ink layering gives us creative freedom we didn’t have before.
We’ve already used the printer for:
- Large interior décor installations
- Restaurant window graphics
- Event backdrops
- Branded office wall murals
- High-volume retail campaigns
Clients notice the vibrancy and durability immediately – and we’re thrilled to bring this enhanced capability to Seattle.
