MELVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Offering a
comprehensive portfolio of production printing devices, Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, is proud to announce that Canon has been named a
leader in the high-speed inkjet press market, according to the IDC
MarketScape: Worldwide High-Speed Inkjet Press 2016 Vendor
Assessment (doc #US40331116, September
2016). The IDC MarketScape report notes that a variety of
factors have helped contribute to Canon's success, including its
robust lineup of production inkjet devices and a strong commitment
to research and development. The report details Canon's ability to
provide new solutions to the market based on different
considerations for end-users. In 2015, Canon customers printed 69
billion pages in the United States
and over 150 billion pages worldwide using Canon inkjet technology
alone, cementing the Company's reputation as a valuable player in
this market segment.
"The findings of the IDC MarketScape report supports Canon's
position as a leader in the high-speed inkjet press market and
validates the Company's approach to developing devices and
technology to better allow the end-user to accomplish their tasks
efficiently," said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and
general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "Moving forward
into 2017 and beyond, Canon will continue to build off of the
widest ranging portfolio in the printing industry and offer
innovative products and solutions to help meet the demands of our
customers across all segments, including direct mail, commercial,
book and transactional printing operations."
Among the items specifically highlighted in the IDC MarketScape
report is Canon's Océ VarioPrint i300 press, which the
report recognizes for its versatility and low-operating cost.
Offering sheet-fed flexibility, the VarioPrint i300 press,
featuring iQuarius technology, lends itself to a broad audience in
the transaction, direct mail, publishing and commercial print
markets. Newly added to the VarioPrint i300 press is the
ColorGrip feature, allowing high-quality inkjet printing on a
variety of cost effective media. The addition of Canon's ColorGrip
technology illustrates the Company's commitment to continually
innovate, helping to add value to an already successful
product.
In addition to the VarioPrint i300, Canon's high-speed inkjet
offerings include the popular Océ ColorStream 3000 series,
which boasts over 1,000 installations worldwide. Featuring high
speed, high quality full color inkjet printers, the Océ ColorStream
3000 inkjet press offers the efficiency and versatility needed for
color and monochrome production operations with the device's
DigiDot piezoelectric drop-on-demand technology to help replicate
vivid color at top speeds.
"As a testament to the quality of their high-speed production
inkjet devices, our printing operation relies solely on Canon
devices, including the Océ VarioPrint i300 and ColorStream 3000
presses. Both these machines allow us to provide our clients with
high quality prints at expedited turnaround times to better meet
their needs and keep customers satisfied," said Steve Hegna of Arna Marketing, a New Jersey-based direct marketing company.

the success of the PRISMA digital front end, a strong focus on
solutions, support for a variety of ink and media types, strong
patent filings and strong customer service practices.
