Renowned for its exacting standards, quick turnaround, and exceptional print quality, Mezographic has taken its production capabilities to the next level with two Canon Colorado M-series printers. The Australian large format specialist, known for delivering high-performance print solutions, made the investment to strengthen efficiency, versatility, and output consistency.
“I first saw the Canon Colorado at a trade show maybe three or four years ago,” recalls Frank Mezo, Owner of Mezographic. “Even then, I was impressed by the speed and quality of the device. We had some older equipment that was coming to the end of its life, and the timing felt right to invest in the latest wide-format printers that would meet our needs.”
Installed, the two new printers have quickly become essential to daily production, handling everything from self-adhesive signage and posters to high-volume point-of-sale materials. The performance and reliability have exceeded expectations.
“The speed and quality of the Canon devices have been absolutely superb,” Frank says. “When you’re running high volumes every day, you need machines that can keep up. These printers have definitely lived up to expectations.”
The Canon Colorado M-series is a 1.6m roll-to-roll printer designed for productivity without compromise. It delivers the proven benefits of UVgel technology — instantly dry prints, low ink usage, and consistent color — along with new possibilities like white ink printing up to three times faster than comparable models.
Its fully modular design also allows companies like Mezographic to expand functionality as their business grows.
“You can upgrade it in the field as your business evolves,” explains Paul Whitehead, Business Unit Manager – Sign & Display at Currie Group. “Whether that’s adding white ink, enabling double-sided printing, or boosting speed during peak production, the M-series can scale with you. Plus, the print quality is phenomenal — sharp dots, deep saturation, and a wide color gamut.”
Beyond speed and precision, the Colorado M-series also enables creative finishes, from mixed matte and gloss effects to textured prints on transparent, colored, or reflective substrates. Canon’s PRISMAguide XL software streamlines multilayer jobs, such as underflood or complex three- and five-layer designs, giving print professionals more control and flexibility.
Certified for top-tier quality, the Colorado M-series supports the 3M™ MCS™ Warranty and Avery Dennison ICS Warranty, and holds GREENGUARD Gold certification, making it ideal for even the most sensitive indoor environments.
With this dual investment, Mezographic is well positioned to continue leading the market with speed, precision, and confidence — proving once again that bold decisions drive bold results.
