Canon’s new UVgel Wallpaper Factory is a fully modular workflow solution consisting of a motorised Fotoba Jumbo Roll media loader (JRL) which is connected to the front of a Colorado large format roll-to-roll printer. The company has developed the UVgel Wallpaper Factory in partnership with Fotoba as a response to their customers repeatedly asking to make UVgel technology enable for them to explore new growth opportunities in the interior ecoration market. The highly automated workflow solution enables Canon customers to print exceptional quality wallpaper in quicker turnaround times, helping them to expand their offering in this market. From customer feedback to date, Canon says they are confident that the workflow solution is a game-changer for high-volume digital wallpaper manufacturing.
The UVgel Wallpaper Factory is available as a complete end-to-end solution for new customers and as an upgrade for existing Colorado roll-to-roll large format printers. The set-up consists of a Colorado printer in combination with Fotoba’s Jumbo Roll and inline finishing equipment. The printer is connected to the Fotoba Cutter XLD 170WP and Rewinder REW 162 to automatically cut flexible media into custom sizes and lengths. And with the embedded taping unit, it’s as simple as ‘print, cut, rewind and tape’. The job is finished and wallpaper rolls are ready for immediate delivery. For regular print jobs, the two media drawers of the Colorado remain accessible.
