  1. Canon Colorado M Series.

    What?? UVgel has a way higher resolution than latex. the PL/drop size is heaps smaller. The new heads are the same resolution.
  2. Canon Colorado M Series.

    They said it's been in development for 5 years. The white UVgel is the same as the CMYK, so they dont break up / separate like traditional UV inks. Honestly, the white ink of the colorado is in a different league. It's super bright. and it's real dense. I can't see HP being any competition...
  3. Print calculator for wide format & Flatbed.

    mines only designed to calculate flat sheets. the only thickness option is in the material. for example if it's 10mm MDF or 16mm MDF. you can choose the thickness like that. But if you're calculating boxes, etc that's a whole different formula.

  6. Cat's out of the bag

    We got invited to see it in action tomorrow. It's a high volume printer. these printers need to be running regularly. Also - Ink has a shelf life and as they're bottles, they fill the internal tanks 1L at a time. If the ink expires in the tanks, you risk damaging the heads etc, void...

  16. Print calculator for wide format & Flatbed.

    having everything in 1 software, although it sounds nice, sometimes it's better not to. It's better to have software being excellent at 1 job, than being average at a lot of jobs.
