Showing the Arizona, Colorado and imagePROGRAF printers at FESPA Global (6th-9th May, Berlin Messe), Canon plans to reveal its latest wide format portfolio capability, showing ‘real-world’ retail, interior décor, Point of Sale (POS) and promotional packaging applications.
FESPA Global has always been an important show in the annual calendar for Canon
Against an overarching theme of ‘The Power to Move’, the plan is to bring current customer stories to life, showing how bold, high-impact print can create emotional connection and transform spaces into unforgettable brand experiences.
Canon’s stand (Hall 25, Stand B10) will feature a diverse selection of customer samples, including soft signage, corrugated and luxury packaging, POS displays, posters and interior décor elements, displaying wallpaper, acoustic boards and prints on wood, glass, tiles, posters and mosaics.
Mathew Faulkner, Director, Marketing & Innovation, Wide Format Printing Group, Canon EMEA says: “In a world where grabbing and keeping attention 
Grabbing and keeping people's attention is every brand owner's challenge, says Faulkner is every brand owner’s challenge, eye-popping, colourful print really has ‘The Power to Move’, stimulating the kind of emotional responses from consumers that are critical to commercial success. This could be the joy of engaging with beautiful artwork, the motivation to respond to an out-of-home (OOH) graphic, or the anticipation of unboxing a new product - we’re celebrating print’s unique ‘attention power’.”
One example of this will be elements of Canon’s immersive World Unseen project: a unique photography exhibition which enables everyone – blind, partially sighted and sighted visitors – to experience imagery in an entirely new way, reflecting print’s potential to enrich lives and businesses. In another live display, the interior décor for Norwegian floristry business Fiori, will show how strong collaboration in the value chain can maximise the potential of high-value, impactful print
Raising Arizona
On the stand, the Arizona 2380 GTF flatbed printer with FLXflow technology with roll media option for flexible printing from roll-to-roll, will demonstrate its capacity to ‘Hold’ and ‘Float’ media, and to perform an ‘Instant Switch’ between the two modes for easy media handling. The Arizona series can be used for a range of rigid and flexible substrates, including more challenging media such as cardboard, wood or glass, offering vast application possibilities ideal for a retail or hospitality environment. Optimising the workflow, PRISMAelevate XL can be used to create printed layers to a height of 4mm, helping users create stand-out, tactile artwork for elevated print applications, including braille signage.
The Canon Colorado M-series has been a global successCanon’s award-winning UVgel roll-to-roll printer, the Colorado M-series, will also be displayed on their FESPA Global stand, printing a variety of large format graphics applications live, including bold wallpapers, window graphics and soft signage showcasing both its white ink capability and FLXfinish+ technology for printing both matte and gloss at the same time.
In other areas of FESPA, Canon Colorado technology will also be on display, including a UVgel Wallpaper Factory on Fotoba’s stand, which will show how customers can automate production of mass-customised wallpaper at high volumes, unattended and around the clock, using the Fotoba jumbo roll feeder, cutter and rewinder to produce a variety of curated wallcoverings. And on Canon’s finishing partner NEOLT’s stand, the UVgel Packaging Factory will display cost-effective and versatile digital printing for packaging as well as signage, and posters – perfect for short, custom runs.
FESPA opens on 6th May 2025 at the Berlin Messe, Germany.
Canon imagePROGRAF and Photo/Fine Art printers (but not Production printers) will also be show at PacPrint, Sydney from May 20th-23rd, on stand D25.
