The Canon flexible UVgel 460 ink – launched with the Colorado 1650 roll-to-roll printer in May – has achieved Greenguard Gold certification from UL Environment.
The accreditation proves that prints from the Colorado 1650 meet stringent standards for low volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions without restrictions. This makes applications printed with Canon UVgel 460 ink safe for use in indoor spaces.
The Canon UVgel 356 ink for the Colorado 1640 model achieved Greenguard Gold accreditation in 2017, so both products in the Colorado family now have the same independent endorsements for environmental performance. UVgel technology also carries other certifications from AgBB, ASTM Type II, Certificat A+ and Centexbel.
The flexible ink can be stretched by 85%, useful for self-adhesive vinyl and polyester textile applications where the print needs to be folded, wrapped or bent.
