Building on its innovative UVgel printing technology, Canon Production Printing and renowned finishing company Flexa have strengthened their collaboration as part of the Canon Ambassador Programme, further integrating its cutting and unwinding/rewinding systems with Canon’s Colorado roll-to-roll printer, to deliver automated workflows that enhance productivity, precision, and efficiency across a wide range of printed materials.
Flexa's Miura Katana in-line with Canon Colorado printer for wallpaper automatic cutting
One highlight of this collaboration is the in-line system, combining the Canon Colorado with the Flexa Miura Katana automatic XY cutter. This setup enables the automatic cutting of digitally printed wallpaper directly from the printer output, ensuring perfectly aligned panels, no visible white edges and eliminating manual touch-ups. The result is a seamless, ready-to-install wallpaper production workflow with consistent precision and reduced operator intervention.
Flexa also offers the UD170 and RD170 unwinding and rewinding systems for jumbo rolls, ideal for long, uninterrupted production runs and increased workflow autonomy. These units feature automatic vertical alignment – which Flexa claims is the only ones on the market – to ensure consistent accuracy and a superior finish, without the need for continuous operator supervision.
Massimo Vettorazzo, President of Flexa, says: “Collaborating with Canon as part of the Finishing Ambassador Programme is a great opportunity to demonstrate how print and finishing technologies can work together to create a complete, automated workflow.”
