UK digital print technology and materials supplier, CMYUK, has been named Canon's top global sales partner for its UVgel Colorado printer series in 2024.

The accolade, announced and presented on the opening day of this year’s FESPA Global Print Expo, follows CMYUK’s recent announcement that it was also Canon’s top partner in Europe for Colorado sales in the same period. 

CMYUK edged out competition from international markets, with a reported increase in global competition for the award in the last year.

The Colorado series has seen increasing sales year over year through Canon’s sales partner channel, which CMYUK is a member of.

The printer aims to carve out a unique position in the mid-volume sector for 1.6m wide-format printing, creating what has been described as a ‘market within a market’.

The Colorado is designed to replace multiple printers with a single fully modular unit, with the ability to configure and update the system as you go.

When presenting the award, Canon highlighted several factors that it felt were behind CMYUK's success with the Colorado series, including its focus on customer service and a strong understanding of the Colorado series’ modularity.

Jennifer Kolloczek, senior director of marketing and innovation, Production Printing, for Canon EMEA says: “Many congratulations to CMYUK, whose rapid rise to become our top global partner in just five years is a testament to their deep understanding of customer requirements and their ability to match these with a best-in-class portfolio.

“They truly recognise how the Colorado series’ modularity, productivity, and standout capabilities deliver value to their customers in diverse application areas. With strong consulting and application expertise as well as compelling marketing, they’ve set a new benchmark for our global partner network. We look forward to continuing our collaborative success with CMYUK.”

Sue Hayward, commercial director at CMYUK, adds: "This latest award from Canon, recognising CMYUK’s global pre-eminence, is a testament to our team's hard work and our customers' trust in the Colorado series.

“The Colorado has been a highly successful addition to our world-class production portfolio, and we look forward to continuing our very successful collaboration with Canon this year.”
