At drupa, Canon demonstrated how it will help print service providers to unleash the potential of their business, exhibiting innovations from across its portfolio.
Just ten years after entering the production print arena, Canon is now a principal provider of advanced digital solutions to production print businesses, with a market-leading range of high specification sheetfed toner and inkjet presses, continuous feed inkjet presses, and roll-to-roll and flatbed wide format printers, supported by its own and third-party workflow and finishing solutions.
Canon Europe executive vice president, Jeppe Frandsen commented, ‘Since Canon first entered the production print market, we have set out to challenge the sector’s perceptions of what digital technology can do, to inspire printers to push their boundaries and to support them with the technology innovation and expertise to transform their business.
‘We have a long-term commitment to the industry and we’ll continue to deliver innovative digital technology to build better business for our customers. Since drupa 2012 we have substantially expanded our portfolio including inkjet and wide format, so that today we offer the widest portfolio of solutions in the industry. Here at drupa 2016, we can demonstrate that digital print is a viable option for almost every application, right across the quality spectrum and for a wide range of media.’
The key product innovation highlights from Canon are the global launches of the Océ ColorStream 6000 Chroma continuous inkjet press, the Canon imagePRESS C8000VP, the new ColorGrip option and inks for the Océ VarioPrint i300 cutsheet inkjet press, enabling high quality colour reproduction on standard offset coated media, the launch of the Océ Arizona 2200 Series of flatbed wide format printers, together with the recently launched Océ Arizona 1200 series, and the Océ ColorWave 910.
The Solutions and Consulting Hub at the centre of the stand provides insights into the depth of Canon’s technical expertise and solutions offering, including workflow, colour management and business development tools.
