Precision Hardware Meets Intelligent Software

The Canon x GelatoConnect ecosystem represents a paradigm shift in the Print Service Provider (PSP) landscape. Canon provides the muscle - through world-class inkjet and UVgel technologies across the ProStream, ColorStream, Colorado, and Arizona series.
 
GelatoConnect provides the brain - seamless end-to-end automation that reduces manual touchpoints and maximises the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) across your entire Canon fleet.
This synergy addresses the core challenges of modern print: increasing demand for personalisation, short-run efficiency, and global distribution without the overhead of manual workflow management.

ProStream & ColorStream Optimisation

For PSPs utilising the Canon ProStream and ColorStream series, GelatoConnect optimises high-volume commercial printing and direct mail at scale.

  • Dynamic Batching
    The software intelligently groups jobs based on media type and weight, ensuring the ProStream maintains its peak rated speed while minimising paper waste.
  • Predictive Maintenance & G7 Colour Consistency
    Automated colour management profiles maintain brand-standard accuracy across the ProStream 1000 and 3000 series - ensuring every output meets Canon's quality benchmarks.

Colorado & Arizona: Large Format Versatility

The Canon Colorado (powered by UVgel technology) and the Canon Arizona (flatbed) are the gold standards for signage and décor. GelatoConnect unlocks their full potential.:

  • Automated Pre-flighting
    Specifically tuned for the Colorado's 1.6m roll-to-roll capabilities, the software automates tiling and nesting for complex wallcoverings and floor graphics.
  • White Ink Workflow
    GelatoConnect simplifies high-margin white ink applications on the Arizona series — making print-to-cut workflows for rigid media entirely hands-off.

The GelatoConnect Advantage for Canon Owners

End-to-End Workflow Automation

GelatoConnect replaces fragmented legacy systems with a single unified interface. From file upload to final dispatch, the software manages the complete Print-on-Demand lifecycle - vital for PSPs operating across North America, Western Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Real-Time Production Analytics

Monitor your Canon fleet across multiple locations. Whether you're running an Arizona 1300 in London or a ColorStream 8000 in New York, track substrate utilisation, ink consumption, machine uptime, Time to Ship (TTS), and finishing bottlenecks — live.

Global Scale, Local Production

Optimised order routing sends every job to the Canon device closest to the end customer. Shorter shipping distances, lower carbon emissions, and faster delivery - without adding headcount or operational complexity.

API-First Architecture: Software Powering Hardware

The power of the Canon x GelatoConnect ecosystem lies in its API-first architecture - bridging the gap between the PRISMAsync print controller and your customer's storefront.
 

Smart Nesting & Imposition - Drastically reduce media waste on the Canon Colorado 1650 and M-Series through automated nesting and imposition.

Automated Logistics - Automatically generate shipping labels and customs documentation for international orders - critical for PSPs scaling their e-commerce presence globally.

Quality Assurance Integration - Integrated scan-to-verify steps ensure the high-fidelity output of your ProStream is matched by perfect fulfilment every time. 

Future-Proofing Your Print Business

The partnership between Canon and GelatoConnect is more than a technical integration - it is a strategic advantage. In an era where just-in-time delivery is the standard, combining Canon's inkjet excellence with GelatoConnect's logistics and workflow intelligence lets PSPs scale without increasing headcount.

"The combination of Canon's hardware reliability and Gelato's software agility is the ultimate competitive edge for the modern print industry."
