BRAMPTON, ON, OCTOBER 4, 2021 – Aligning with the company’s dedication to innovation, Canon Canada, Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to introduce the new Advanced Automation Modules for the imagePRESS digital colour presses: Sensing Unit and Cooling Unit. Continuing to advance the series that was introduced in fall 2020, this launch further supports customers within print production environments as it helps them to consistently achieve the highest quality printed output, in less time and with minimal operator intervention. These new automation modules are designed to further enhance productivity, versatility and high-image quality for users of the imagePRESS C10010VP Series and imagePRESS C910 Series.

 

Helping to increase efficiency and produce accurate colour, the new optional Sensing Unit Module will monitor adjust front-to-back registration and colour tone before and during production. This module helps eliminate manual involvement by measuring and adjusting prints on the fly, helping to maintain tight registration while producing dependable and vibrant colour. This elevated level of automation helps saves time and effort on routine but necessary adjustments, helping to ensure production environments produce stunning output – all while their operators attend to other key areas of business. The Sensing Unit adds to the existing innovative colour control technologies on the imagePRESS such as the Inline Spectrophotometric Sensors (ILS) and Multi D.A.T technology that helps contribute to producing consistent and accurate colour output.

 

“The new quality control options for the Canon imagePRESS C10010VP series help alleviate some of the most pressing issues in print production,” says German Sacristan, director, production services, Keypoint Intelligence. “Canon is building intelligence into the equipment to assist operators so they can focus on other tasks. Automation of quality control processes and task is critical to maintain productivity and to help consistently meet customer requirements.”

 

A mandatory module when connecting the Sensing Unit to the imagePRESS C10010VP Series, the Cooling Unit removes the residual heat from a sheet, which helps contribute to a stable internal environment, allowing each unit’s sensors to measure patches reliably and consistently. By rapidly cooling the sheet, the media integrity is further preserved, helping to maintain image quality, minimize paper curl, as well as helping to prevent jamming in inline and offline finishing solutions.

 

The Sensing Unit Module and the Cooling Unit Module will be available for existing imagePRESS C10010VP Series engines and can be driven by the PRISMAsync Print Server or Fiery powered imagePRESS Server B7000/B6000 V2. The Sensing Unit Module will be available for the imagePRESS C910 Series engines and can be driven by the PRISMAsync Print Server or the Fiery powered imagePRESS Server H350/G250 V2.

The Cooling Unit and Sensing Units are available in Canada for purchase through Canon Business System Solutions and Canon Authorized Dealers.
