Canon’s entire UVgel roll-to-roll Colorado printer range is now compatible with SAi Flexi Complete design, print and cut software, capable of driving up to five printers simultaneously and any number of cutters.
The Flexi Complete package includes drivers for the whole Colorado range (1630, 1640, 1650, M3 [W] and M5 [W]) and supports both white and multilayer printing. The new software drivers also support Canon’s FLXfinish+ technology, which enables customers to print matte, gloss or mixed matte and gloss on the same print, without the need for additional varnish.
Mathew Faulkner, director, marketing and innovation, wide format printing group, Canon EMEA, said: “Canon believes in open systems, which enable partners and customers to integrate Canon printers in their workflow by offering an Application Programming Interface (API) and a Software Development Kit (SDK). It allowed SAi to create a driver for the Colorado printers supporting the full functionality within the shortest timeframe. And means that our sales partners offering SAi as their preferred Rip software can now provide their customers with an integrated solution – SAi Flexi driving our Canon Colorado printers. In addition, PSPs already utilising SAi Flexi software can now capture the benefits of UVgel by adding Canon Colorado printers to their production floor without changing their workflow.”
Radisa Peric, Flexi Product Manager at SA International, added: “We are proud to offer our wide customer base the full support of the Colorado UVgel roll-to-roll printer range. SAi Flexi software is omnipresent in sign and print shops worldwide so the ability for our customers to use their preferred software with their Colorado printers is a win-win partnership.”
