Discover ‘The Power to Move’ with Canon at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025

Canon will reveal its latest wide format portfolio developments at the FESPA Global Print Expo, 6th-9th May 2025, in Berlin, Germany. Through real-world applications across the retail, interior décor and Point of Sale (POS), the company says it will showcase an array of materials printed on the Arizona and Colorado printers as part of end-to-end workflow solutions that include both Canon platforms such as PRISMA XL Suite and multiple partner products. Under the theme of ‘The Power to Move’, the company’s stand at FESPA 2025 will feature a concept store demonstrating the creative and commercial possibilities of conceptual and real-world brands' wide format graphics applications.

“At this year’s FESPA Global Print Expo, we will showcase our latest developments and the breadth of Canon’s large format technology portfolio, proving to our customers how we can support them to create impactful applications and open up commercial opportunities. By continuously evolving our technologies to have the latest cutting-edge features and print effects and working with our partners to optimise the end-to-end workflow process, PSPs can expand their product offering to provide unique, high-quality applications, whether for retail, interior décor, POS or promotional packaging,” says Mathew Faulkner, Director, Marketing & Innovation, Wide Format Printing Group, Canon EMEA.
Aligning with FESPA’s theme of ‘Where visionaries meet,’ Canon says it will showcase its collaboration with partners and highlight how it can satisfy customers' large-format graphic needs, helping them push the boundaries to expand their commercial scope.

A diverse selection of customer samples will be displayed, including soft signage, POS displays, posters and interior décor elements. This will include the breadth of application opportunities with interior décor applications, using wallpaper, acoustic boards, prints on wood, glass, tiles, posters and mosaics.
Customer case studies, including those of the Norwegian floristry business Fiori, will be featured, showcasing how an interior décor business can maximise the potential of high-value, impactful print. Elements of Canon’s immersive World Unseen project will also be on display: a unique photography exhibition that 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.

The Arizona 2380 GTF flatbed printer with FLXflow technology and a roll media option for flexible printing from roll to roll will demonstrate its uniquely intelligent way of ‘Hold and Float’ media. It will also perform an ‘Instant Switch’ between the two modes for easy media handling. As true flatbed printers, the Arizona series can work accurately and highly efficiently with various rigid and flexible substrates, including challenging media such as cardboard, wood or glass, offering vast application possibilities ideal for a retail or hospitality environment. Optimising the workflow, PRISMA XL Suite samples will show how PRISMAelevate XL can be used to create printed layers to a height of 4 mm, helping users create stand-out, tactile artwork for elevated print applications that enhance and expand their product offering – including braille signage.

Highlighting its productivity, modularity, and in-field upgradability, the award-winning UVgel roll-to-roll printer, the Colorado M-series, will print a variety of large-format graphics applications live on the stand. The extensive and premium range of applications it can print will be presented with bright and bold wallpapers, window graphics and soft signage made possible with several options, such as the hassle-free white ink, FLXfinish+ technology for printing both matte and gloss at the same time, and FLXture for subtle surface details. Visitors will see the Arizona and Colorado printers live in action during demonstrations on the stand.

Multiple current and new UVgel Factory configurations featuring Colorado will be exhibited with different finishing partners to illustrate its broad application options. These include the UVgel Wallpaper Factory, situated on Fotoba’s stand, which will show how customers can automate the production of mass-customised wallpaper at high volumes, unattended and around the clock. This end-to-end solution demonstrates the capability of the Colorado M-series when used in line with the Fotoba jumbo roll feeder, cutter and rewinder to produce a variety of curated wallcoverings. Nearby, on Canon’s finishing partner NEOLT’s stand, visitors can see the UVgel Packaging Factory, which will display cost-effective and versatile digital printing for packaging, signage, and posters – perfect for short, custom runs.
“At FESPA Global Print Expo, we'll bring our innovation story to life with exciting product developments and demonstrate specialist applications expertise and agile business models that support customers in future-proofing their businesses. In a world where grabbing and keeping attention is every brand owner’s challenge, eye-popping, colourful print has ‘The Power to Move’, stimulating the 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’,” concludes Faulkner.
