MELVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, joins its colleagues in Canon Europe in the
announcement that Avery Dennison has
awarded its ICS Performance Guarantee to applications printed on
the Colorado 1650 with UVgel 460
inks.
Canon introduced the Colorado
1650 at Fespa in Munich last year
and started installing commercial placements immediately after
that. The company worked closely with Avery
Dennison to obtain the formal certification of the
Colorado 1650's UVgel 460 inks,
which are now in the Avery Dennison ICS warranty program with
Performance Guarantee status. This means that outdoor applications
are warranted for up to five years and indoor up to eight years,
depending on the type and combination of Avery Dennison media and laminates.
"The Colorado 1650 continues to
help customers create revenue opportunities through expanded
applications potential and new features such as double-sided
printing, and the ability to print matte or gloss without changing
inks or media. At the same time, the Colorado 1650 helps to lower costs with
reduced ink usage, automation, unattended printing, and consistency
of output, helping to reduce rework. Additionally, customers can
enjoy the peace of mind of guaranteed compatibility and superior
performance when printing on Avery substrates," said Peter Kowalczuk, President, Canon Solutions
America.
Paul Roba, Avery Dennison's OEM Relationship Manager
commented: "With the Colorado 1650
printer and the UVgel 460 ink, we are excited to add a unique
high-quality print production platform to our extensive Integrated
Component System Warranty Program. We continue to provide
thoroughly tested solutions to our Print Service Providers,
increasing confidence in graphic performance and identifying
throughput improvement processes."
The ICS Performance Guarantee combines films
with other qualified components to form a system which is
guaranteed to be compatible and provide superior performance. This
system reflects many years of joint developmental work
between Avery Dennison and industry leading printer, ink
and clear coat manufacturers. To learn more about the program click
