Beacon Print of West Bromwich has installed the first Canon Colorado 1630 in the UK, in order to deliver higher quality output to its customers and increase productivity.

The company, founded in 2014, primarily operates in the education, healthcare, large corporate and SME sectors. It aims to provide a one-stop shop for all printing requirements, specialising in small and large format digital print, exhibition graphics, signage and installation, litho print and bespoke label printing.

Since the installation of the Colorado 1630, Beacon Print has been able to produce higher quality print  for its customers more quickly. The printer’s application flexibility has also allowed the company to enter the digital wallpaper printing market. Thanks to the its low ink and energy requirements, the Colorado 1630 is also said to have delivered significant savings for the company.

Sean Gamston, sales director at Beacon Print, said, ‘Since we began working with Canon and installed a Colorado 1630 device, we’ve become a much more competitive and cost-efficient business. Our new printer is extremely reliable, offering flexibility and consistently excellent quality work. Thanks to the installation, we are now in a stronger position to explore new customer opportunities and markets.’

Duncan Smith, production direct sales director at Canon UK & Ireland, said, ‘This is the first installation of the Colorado 1630 in the UK and we are very proud of the results that the device has brought to this important customer. With its excellent print quality, versatility and productivity, it delivers the ideal technology to help Beacon Print deliver outstanding results for its customers.’
