With interior décor experts predicting a huge growth in wallpaper demand in 2021, there was no better time for Keypoint Intelligence to consider the Colorado 1650 and see how well this UVgel roll-to-roll printer performed in its wide format test program.
It Turns Out The Colorado 1650 Is An Exceptional Choice.
It proves to be a workhorse demonstrating impressive speeds in all test scenarios when compared with eco solvent and latex ink devices tested to date.
In fact, it is up to three times faster than the competitive average across each quality mode tested.
In addition to its speed, the printer’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 FLXfinish also enhances the printer’s handling of porous materials such as soft signage and uncoated media because its UVgel technology ensures that each ink droplet is immediately fixed on the media, allowing for highly controlled dot gain and more precise image quality.
Further recognising its ease-of-use, the report talked of the Colorado 1650’s user-friendly interface and how it enables print service providers to reduce downtime thanks to its transparent ‘at a glance’ status monitoring, a simple to navigate 10.5-inch smart control panel and a remote control app.
