PIC Expands Production with Canon Colorado M-Series UVgel Printer

Garfield, NJ – Product Identification Company (PIC), a leader in industrial printing, labels, nameplates, and custom graphics manufacturing, is proud to announce the installation of a new Canon Colorado M-Series UVgel large-format printer at its Garfield, New Jersey facility.

This advanced printing system represents a major expansion of PIC’s digital printing capabilities, allowing the company to deliver faster turnaround times, enhanced durability, and exceptional print quality for customers across a wide range of industries including manufacturing, aerospace, construction, utilities, and retail.

PIC’s newly installed Canon Colorado M-Series UVgel printer expands large-format production capabilities.

Next-Generation Large Format Printing Technology

The Canon Colorado M-Series is an industrial roll-to-roll printer designed for high-volume production environments. Using Canon’s revolutionary UVgel printing technology, the system produces vibrant, high-resolution graphics while delivering outstanding durability and efficiency.

With print resolutions up to 1800 dpi and media widths up to 64 inches, the Colorado system enables PIC to produce detailed graphics, signage, and industrial labels with incredible precision and consistency.

Unlike traditional solvent or latex printing systems, UVgel technology delivers instantly cured prints that are highly resistant to scratching, abrasion, and environmental exposure.

Revolutionary UVgel Printing Technology

At the core of the Colorado M-Series is Canon’s proprietary UVgel ink system, which combines the benefits of UV printing with a unique gel-based formulation that produces extremely sharp images and durable graphics.

UVgel technology works by jetting a gel-based ink that instantly “pins” to the media surface before being cured by UV LED light. This process creates an extremely smooth ink layer that results in vibrant colors, exceptional image detail, and long-lasting durability.

The benefits of UVgel printing include:

• Instantly dry prints ready for finishing or installation
• Superior scratch and abrasion resistance
• Exceptional color accuracy and image sharpness
• Reduced ink consumption and lower operating costs
• Low-temperature curing suitable for sensitive materials
• Odorless printing suitable for indoor environments

These advantages make the Colorado M-Series ideal for producing durable graphics used in demanding environments.

Advanced Print Effects with FLXfinish Technology

One of the most exciting capabilities of the Canon Colorado platform is its ability to produce multiple finishes in a single print pass.

Using Canon’s FLXfinish technology, PIC can now create prints with:

• Matte finishes
• Gloss finishes
• Mixed matte and gloss effects in a single image

This allows designers and manufacturers to add unique visual effects to graphics, labels, and branding elements without requiring additional finishing processes.

The result is a premium appearance that enhances brand presentation while reducing production time.

Expanding Capabilities for Industrial Customers

The addition of the Colorado M-Series strengthens PIC’s ability to produce high-performance graphics and labels for demanding industrial applications.

Common applications include:

• Industrial equipment decals
• Safety labels and warning graphics
• Vinyl labels and identification graphics
• Retail and point-of-purchase displays
• Indoor and outdoor signage
• Construction site graphics
• Wall and window graphics
• Product branding graphics

Because UVgel prints are highly durable and resistant to scratching and fading, they are ideal for environments where graphics must withstand heavy use or outdoor exposure.

Faster Turnaround and Increased Production Capacity

In addition to exceptional print quality, the Colorado M-Series is designed for high-speed production.

The printer is capable of extremely fast output speeds while maintaining excellent image quality, enabling PIC to complete large production runs quickly and efficiently.

This increased capacity allows PIC to provide:

• Faster project turnaround
• High-volume production capabilities
• Consistent print quality across large orders
• Reduced production costs

For customers, this means faster delivery times without sacrificing quality.
