There’s no longer the daily battle to keep the colour in line,” says Matt. We’ve not had to do any colour calibrations either with the first or second printers since we’ve had them. This is a complete non-issue with the Colorado, you create a profile and that's it. We felt we had to, otherwise they drifted into green or magenta, cold or warm territory - especially noticeable as we produce a lot of neutral greys.
We used a spectrophotometer and calibrated the HP Latex printers twice a week. “Prior to installing the Colorado, colour consistency had been a nightmare. This has become hugely popular with creators and agencies looking for a less limited alternative to popular Colorama paper backdrops, one which is durable, reusable, and has a limitless palette.Ĭolour stability is key. Recent investment in its customisable product range now means that photographers can order backdrops that match their clients’ brands exactly. The photographic backdrops are typically used for food or product shots, and popular sizes are 60cm x 90cm or 90cm x 120 cm for a slightly more expansive scene. “We see our stuff popping up in magazines all the time, which is really nice,” says Matt.

It attracts two distinct customer types – entrepreneurs who are promoting their own products, and professional photographers that require backdrops for client product shoots which has included the likes of John Lewis, Buzzfeed and Deliveroo. The company’s core specialism is producing photographic backdrops for product and food photography, made available under their own ‘Club Backdrops’ sub-brand. It has also allowed Pineapple Express to confidently double its marketing efforts now that it has the capability to support twice the volume of work. The installation of this second printer has enabled the company to promote the gamut of solid colour designs including darker hues and shades. The combination of the 1630 with the 1650, which is a real workhorse puts us in a very good place that allows us to produce just about anything,” says Matt. “Even the slowest monodirectional speed on the 1630 is still almost 3x faster than our old HPs. It introduces a monodirectional mode unavailable on the 1650, which whilst slower, produces clean dark solid colours every time. The Colorado 1630 complements the 1650 perfectly. “The durability and quality of the Colorado prints are superior to the prints coming from our old HP Latex machines to the point where customers were noticing,” says Matt. The new Colorado 1630 replaces the company’s last remaining HP Latex printer. “There are parts that HP Latex technology can’t reach that led to us to look for an alternative,” says Matt Gunn-Cullin, co-founder and joint MD alongside his partner, Thomas Gunn-Cullin. The original Colorado 1650 replaced two HP Latex printers. This comes a year on from the installation of the Colorado 1650.
