Grimco and Canon Partner to Bring Colorado M-Series Printers to Market

Grimco partners with Canon to offer Colorado M-Series Printers — Delivering expertise, support, and innovation to the sign and graphics industry.

[Saint Louis, MO] - Grimco, a leading wholesale distributor and manufacturer to the sign and graphics industry, is excited to announce a new partnership with Canon U.S.A., Inc., bringing the innovative Canon Colorado M-Series wide-format printers to Grimco’s national lineup of equipment solutions. 

This collaboration gives Grimco customers access to Canon’s cutting-edge UVgel digital roll-to-roll printer — known for its speed, reliability, and incredible print quality — while also receiving the consultative service and hands-on tech support that Grimco offers. 

“Our approach has always been more than just selling equipment — it’s about helping our customers find the right solution for their business and their goals,” said Julie McClain, Director of Hardware and Software at Grimco. “The Canon Colorado M-Series is an exciting addition to our lineup, and we’re looking forward to working closely with customers to see how Canon’s technology can expand their capabilities and help them grow.” 

With print speeds of over 1,700 square feet per hour, automated-maintenance operation, and breakthrough UVgel ink technology, the Colorado M-Series is built for high-volume environments that demand exceptional quality and efficiency. From stunning wall graphics and vehicle wraps to durable outdoor signage, this versatile printer helps shops say ‘yes’ to more jobs — creating robust, fade, and scratch-resistant prints with excellent print quality.

When it comes to equipment purchases, I tend to be a ‘slow’ buyer,” said Malcolm Gieske from ID Wraps, a Grimco customer. “After a great deal of investigating and talking to existing Colorado owners, I heard plenty of statements like ‘no brainer.’ We’ve had the machine for two months now and love the speed. Loading media is ridiculously easy. Most importantly, with other manufacturers, we’ve struggled with consistent colors for almost 20 years. The color consistency on the Colorado is so good, it almost feels foreign. Saving money on ink is absolutely the icing on the cake. Five stars on this machine — all day.

What sets this partnership apart is Grimco’s full-service approach. Whether customers are exploring their first grand format printer or upgrading their existing equipment, Grimco’s experienced team works side-by-side with them — helping select the right printer configuration, coordinating installation, and providing hands-on training to ensure a smooth transition and long-term success. 

With 150 years of experience supporting the sign and graphics industry, Grimco is proud to combine its expertise with Canon’s innovative technology to bring a powerful, flexible printing solution to customers across North America.
