Canon U.S.A., DigiTech Launch High-Volume Flatbed Printers

A partnership between Canon U.S.A. and DigiTech has resulted in the launch of the Texas LT3 Series UV LED true flatbed printers, designed to deliver speed, automation, and image quality for high-volume production environments.

The Texas LT3 series—available in LT3/X2 and LT3/X3 models—offers print speeds up to 7,489 sq. ft. per hour, advanced LED UV curing, and expanded color capabilities including orange, gray, white, and varnish. These features enable print service providers to meet demanding turnaround times while maintaining exceptional image quality.

The Texas LT3 series

Automation-Ready for Streamlined Workflows

The Texas LT3 series is engineered for automation from the ground up. Each model includes a standard auto-unloader and is designed to integrate seamlessly with feeders, conveyors, digital cutters, and stackers. This automation capability reduces manual handling, accelerates job completion, and allows a single operator to manage what traditionally required multiple personnel, helping businesses maximize efficiency and profitability.

Expanding Canon’s Flatbed Portfolio

The Texas LT3 series complements Canon’s acclaimed Arizona portfolio, providing a growth path for customers seeking higher throughput and automation. While Arizona printers remain the benchmark for versatility and image quality in low- to mid-volume environments, the Texas LT3 series is purpose-built for medium- to high-volume workflows, offering unmatched productivity and automation readiness.
