Canon Extends imagePRESS V Series with Launch of
New imagePRESS V900 Series to Break into B2B Market
The new production press flaunts technological enhancements that make fast, high-quality printing easy.
Canon Marketing (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Canon) announced new addition to the imagePRESS V series, the V900 series. Setting new standards in cut-sheet toner productivity, the V series is the latest evolution of the hugely successful imagePRESS family. Featuring technological enhancements that take its performance to a new level while making it easier to use, the V series enables both commercial and in-house print service providers (PSPs) to overcome their production challenges and meet customer demands for high-quality, dynamic print content produced to the tightest deadlines.
Now with an option for commercial and in-house printing environments of every size and printing need, the imagePRESS V series is a powerful family of toner production presses that offers increased automation – making them very operator friendly – a wealth of feeding and finishing options, and seamless integration with workflow solutions via PRISMAsync or EFI Fiery controllers. The imagePRESS V900 Series, offers the most extensive range of applications printable on one compact device. Robustly built and with sustainability a consideration, the series has been engineered for continuous, reliable productivity, consistent and stable colour, as well as unbeatable front and back registration accuracy.
The imagePRESS V900 series – light volume production press that offers greater application flexibility
The entry-level model of the V series family, the imagePRESS V900 series is ideal for printers producing monthly volumes of up to 500,000 A4-pages. It comes in three different models – V900, V800 and V700, reflecting the maximum speed of each – 90ppm, 80ppm and 70ppm – and is made for fast-paced production environments where consistent, high quality, productivity and media choice are required day in, day out.
Not only is it the most compact device in the family, but the V900 also offers a class-leading variety of applications that are printable on a small device, thanks to the media it supports – from 52gsm plain and 70gsm coated to 350gsm thick media, narrow envelopes, as well as auto-duplex 762mm and simplex 1.3m banners and embossed and synthetic paper.
This versatility is supported by the latest vacuum technology that adjusts the suction force according to paper weight, stabilising the transport of thick paper, as well as the inclusion of feed rollers and strengthened transport rollers that improve transport stability for thin, thick and short paper, expanding the range of media that can be used and preventing paper jams.
Removing the need for a highly skilled operator, the V900 incorporates new time- and labour-saving automation features that make it easy to use. The inclusion of the optional Duplex Colour Image Reader Unit allows the device to make rapid pre-print adjustments to front and back registration (delivering impressive 0.8mm accuracy), colour gradation, colour density and secondary transfer voltage to ensure high quality even on textured media. Users simply run printed adjustment charts through the Automatic Document Feeder, part of the Duplex Colour Image Reader Unit, and the V900 then automatically makes the required adjustments. Other time-saving features on the V900 include remote alerts to tell operators when consumables are running low.
In May, Canon organised an event at its Head Office Showroom to unveil the Canon imagePRESS V900 Series to its target customers, which include printing entrepreneurs, printing service centres, printing houses, and private organisations. The purpose of this event was to demonstrate the impressive features of the new production press. Among the showcased features was the on-demand printing capability, boasting a maximum speed of 90 pages per minute. This allows for high-quality printing, even on paper with specific textures and lengths of up to 1.3 metres. Additionally, the inclusion of the In-line Spectrophotometer ensures faster, easier, and more accurate calibration, while maintaining consistent color quality for repeated printing and proofing. During the showcase, Canon's experts provided advice, assuring entrepreneurs that Canon's products and services help simplify the printing business and meeting their specific needs, align with Canon’s Business Can Be Simple concept.
The Canon imagePRESS V900 series is now available for purchase.
