The UVgel quality advantage

Our unique ‘print-then-cure’ technology uses instant-dry gel inks, cured with UV LED lights. Using gel means depositing more ink in less passes, without the ink ﬂowing in and over the medium. That’s how the Colorado consistently delivers durable, razor-sharp prints with a wide colour gamut.

Colorado M-series

Mixed glossy/matte ﬁnish in one print

FLXﬁnish⁺ technology maximises the UVgel advantage with either a single – or a two-step curing strategy. It enables you to print high-value applications with a velvety matte ﬁnish for interior décor or a brilliant gloss ﬁnish for display and packaging – and now also mixed matte-gloss applications without additional costs.

Add texture to prints with FLXture

Look no further for the magic touch. With FLXture, you can add subtle surface detail to your prints, creating a luxurious and intriguing feel for your products. You can create these creative print applications with an easy-to-use recipe in our PRISMAguide XL software. It will intelligently prepare layers of UVgel ink to stack on top of each other, unlocking a next-level sensory experience.

Sustainable by nature

UVgel technology is GREENGUARD Gold certiﬁed, so you can trust that applications for indoor use meet strict chemical emission limits.

Compared to latex or eco-solvent inks, UVgel requires around 40% less ink to build up the same image quality and colour intensity.

Colorado-family printers come equipped with internal ﬁlters and require no dedicated extraction. Radiation and noise emission are below already stringent standards.

The low-temperature LED curing process substantially reduces energy consumption. Energy consumption in standby mode is also very low, thanks to the instant-on printing capability.
