Mathew Faulkner Marketing & Innovation Director Canon EMEA Walkthrough 路聽 FESPA Barcelona 2026
At FESPA in Barcelona, Editor-in-Chief Morten Reitoft takes a detailed walkthrough of the Canon booth together with Matthew Faulkner, exploring the company鈥檚 latest developments in wide-format print, UVgel technology, and production applications.
The conversation begins with Canon鈥檚 highly successful Colorado M-series platform, which has now surpassed 6,000 installations worldwide, before moving into the company鈥檚 newest addition, the Colorado XL, Canon鈥檚 entry into the 3.4-meter roll-to-roll and hybrid printing market.
Matthew Faulkner explains how Canon continues to evolve the UVgel platform with modular upgrades, higher productivity, matte and gloss printing, microtextures, and new automation technologies designed to simplify handling of large-format media while maintaining high image quality at industrial production speeds.
The discussion also explores how wide-format print is increasingly connected to packaging, d茅cor, retail graphics, and point-of-sale production, while Canon continues expanding across commercial print, labels, packaging, and industrial inkjet applications.
A deep and insightful conversation about technology platforms, digital transformation, productivity, and why Canon believes the future of print lies in helping customers develop entirely new business opportunities, not simply replacing analog production with digital.

Karol Karu is the Head of Sales for Estonian printing company K-Print. In this interview, she talks about how the Nordia/Baltic consolidation is a huge advantage for them. She also surprises your humble editor by saying that they experience larger print runs on average and therefore, of course, keep an eye on digital, but they are not really afraid of the competition here. Super interesting!
