The Canon Colorado series, powered by UVgel technology, has redefined wide-format printing speeds and quality. However, a printer this fast creates a new problem: how do you finish the prints quickly enough? To truly unlock its potential, you need seamless Canon Colorado automation. Neolt Factory has developed inline finishing solutions that transform the Colorado from a standalone printer into a fully automated, continuous production line.

The Challenge of High-Speed Roll Printing

When a Canon Colorado is running at full speed, it produces massive rolls of printed media in record time. The traditional workflow involves an operator manually removing the heavy printed roll, transporting it to a separate finishing station, loading it onto a cutter, and then processing it. This approach requires constant labor and introduces significant downtime between print and cut.

The Solution: Inline Roll to Sheet Automation

Neolt Factory has engineered a direct, inline connection between the Canon Colorado and the Neolt XY Matic Trim Plus. This roll to sheet automation means the media flows directly from the printer into the cutter without ever being wound onto a take-up reel.

The Inline Workflow in Four Steps

  1. The Canon Colorado prints continuously.
  2. A specialized buffer loop system manages the tension and speed difference between the printer and the cutter.
  3. The media feeds directly into the Neolt XY Matic Trim Plus, which reads the registration marks and simultaneously cuts the X and Y axes.
  4. Perfectly squared, finished sheets exit the cutter, ready for immediate packing or installation.

Scaling Up: Jumbo Roll Automation

For true industrial production, Neolt Factory's jumbo roll automation integrates a Neolt Unwinder capable of holding massive rolls up to 500 kg at the front of the Canon Colorado. Combined with the inline XY cutter, you achieve a fully autonomous "Jumbo Roll to Finished Sheet" workflow that can run for hours without operator intervention.
