Industry researcher Keypoint Intelligence has released its Field Test Report on the Canon Colorado 1650 64-inch roll-to-roll printer, confirming the machine has set the bar high in this highly competitive and growing market. Keypoint Intelligence tested the Colorado 1650 in three categories – image quality, usability and speed. Based on tests conducted, the report proved the Colorado 1650 to be a true workhorse, demonstrating high speeds in all test scenarios and was found to be three times faster than the competitive average across each quality mode tested,” said a Canon press release.
In addition to its speed, Colorado 1650’s automatic maintenance, user replaceable components and on-the-fly ink replacement features were all recognised as contributing factors for its increased uptime and faster turnarounds. The technicians at Keypoint Intelligence highlighted how easy it is, with Canon’s FLXfinish curing technology, to produce both gloss and matte finishes without the need to change inks or media. Most importantly, in switching output finish, there was no impact on image quality, even at the most productive speeds.
