BRAMPTON, ON., APRIL 27, 2022 – To help address the increasing demands of production environments, Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to announce the upcoming release of the imagePRESS V1000 digital press. With its strong emphasis on automation, tasks such as colour repeatability and registration alignment are simplified for print establishments looking to produce a wide range of applications, from direct mail and business cards to booklets, posters and other creative marketing collateral.

 

The imagePRESS V1000 digital press, currently scheduled to be available in Canada in July 2022, is the first of the new “V” series lineup, designed to provide vivid output, be vigilant during production and allow customers to provide additional value to their clients, as well as be a versatile digital press that production environments can depend on. Capable of printing up to 101 letter IPM, the imagePRESS V1000 digital press features innovative POD-SURF (Surface Rapid Fusing), which allows the press to maintain its speed on coated and heavy stocks up to 400 GSM as well as sustain high productivity when printing complex and mixed media jobs.

 

A digital press’s ability to produce brilliant and repeatable colour is crucial as ever. With the Inline Spectrophotometers (ILS), press operators can easily perform advanced colour adjustments such as engine linearization, colour profile creation, G7® calibration and colour validation with minimal operator involvement in a short amount of time. The imagePRESS V1000 also has the ability to auto duplex stocks up to 400 GSM in weight and 51.2” in length.* With the new Precision Registration Technology, duplexed sheets are mechanically adjusted four times to help alignment remain accurate and consistent during long production runs.

 

“With the introduction of the imagePRESS V1000 colour digital press, Canon continues its dedication to developing innovative solutions to exceed customer and industry demands,” says Naoki “Mike” Sannomiya, Senior Vice-President and General Manager, Business Information Communications Group, Canon Canada. “This versatile solution will enable production environments to diversify their application portfolio and unlock new revenue opportunities. Its emphasis on automation simplifies workflows, and its advanced colour-adjustment capabilities ensure vivid and repeatable colours across all creative marketing materials.”

 

The imagePRESS V1000 will have two front-end controller options: PRISMAsync print server or imagePRESS Server D3000. Canon’s PRISMAsync Print Server is designed to help boost production capacity and provides a common workflow across Canon’s production printing offering. The PRISMAsync Automated Color Task feature combines multiple colour setup functionalities (including G7® calibration) into a single action providing hands-off automation. When utilized the device with the PRISMAcolor Manager (currently scheduled to be available in June 2022), users can monitor print quality versus internal or certain industry standards over time.

 

Powered by the Fiery FS500 Pro system software, the imagePRESS Server D3000 adds new and upgraded technologies to include familiar workflow and prepress features. The Express Media Color Manager and Auto Recall combined with the imagePRESS V1000 digital press’s ILS perform colour management functions quickly and with a clean and intuitive interface.

 

The imagePRESS V1000 digital press offers features that can provide opportunities that can help you transform your business, with features designed to help save time and allow production environments to focus on other tasks. Canon has synergized form and function so that even inexperienced operators can impress with superb colour and exquisite output. With the proven quality, productivity and versatility features of imagePRESS devices combined with the outstanding vital technologies, the imagePRESS V1000 digital press is designed for our customers to realize their vision more easily and efficiently.
