Perfect Colours Empowers Carly Press To Break Production Ceilings With Canon Colorado M5 Installation
Somerset, UK – April 2026 – Perfect Colours, a leading provider of innovative printing solutions, has successfully installed a Canon Colorado M5 at Carly Press, a respected family-run Somerset print institution established in 1982.
This strategic upgrade addresses critical industry-wide bottlenecks, equipping the business to meet surging demand for premium digital print and large-format graphics while maintaining a commitment to efficient, sustainable production practices.
As demand for wide-format and signage expanded rapidly, Carly Press encountered a severe production ceiling.
Legacy hardware became a liability, characterised by labour-intensive setups, inconsistent output, and excessive operator intervention.
Recognising the urgent need to modernise their workflow and reduce production waste, Carly Press sought a solution that aligned with their forward-thinking ethos and dedication to genuine customer service.
The installation of the Canon Colorado M5 marks a pivotal transformation for the Somerset printer.
Utilising advanced UVgel technology, the machine delivers exceptional colour consistency at print speeds of up to 159 square metres per hour.
Its automated features drastically reduce material waste and reprints, aligning with a more sustainable approach to production.
By simplifying day-to-day operations, the technology also adds a humane touch to the workplace, freeing operators from managing print interruptions so they can focus on finishing and quality control.
“As our wide format and signage side continued to grow, we needed a machine that could keep up with demand without compromising quality. Ultimately, we reached a point where the bottleneck wasn't demand — it was production capacity and workflow,” noted the Operations Director at Carly Press.
Mark Gladstone-Smith of Carly Press said, “Would we recommend this printer? Yes, without hesitation. If a business is serious about wide format production and wants to increase output while maintaining quality, it's a fantastic investment. For us, it's been a step change in capability and has strengthened our offering significantly.”
Having previously worked with Perfect Colours, Carly Press relied on their honest advice and comprehensive aftercare to make a long-term investment that future-proofs their wide-format department.
