Dual Fixing System

Canon’s imagePRESS digital production printing system handles thick and coated paper through a two-path system employing two fixing units. The paper initially passes through the first fixing unit, which utilizes a fixing roller and a pressure belt, and then through the second fixing unit, which uses fixing and pressure rollers, to realize high-luster printout. Paper that does not require dual fixing, such as thin or recycled paper, passes through the first fixing unit only.

By automatically adjusting the paper path according to the type of paper, the imagePRESS produces uniform surface luster and maintains a consistent print speed of 70 sheets per minute (A4, landscape) for media types of varying thicknesses.
