MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, announced today, along with its parent company,
Canon Inc., that it is commemorating the tenth anniversary of the
introduction of the Company's imagePRESS line of digital production
presses. Since the introduction of the imagePRESS Series in 2006,
the award-winning imagePRESS brand has stood for reliability and
productivity, helping Canon customers realize outstanding image
quality and improved workflow efficiency. Since the birth of the
imagePRESS lineup, Canon has sold approximately 50,000 imagePRESS
digital production presses worldwide, with approximately 20,000
sales accounting for the United
States alone.
When the imagePRESS brand made its debut, Canon focused on
reproducible color. For years, speed and pages-per-minute consumed
the focus of the production devices, but with the introduction of
the imagePRESS, a revolution began. Reproducing images with
lifelike color and razor sharp text, and providing versatile media
handling, imagePRESS highlighted a need for accurate image
reproduction and showcased the ways print technology can evolve to
meet also the growing digital color demands of commercial print and
graphic arts markets.
While Canon celebrates the 10th anniversary of
imagePRESS, its continuous, market-driven innovation challenges the
status quo of what the industry expects in a production printer.
Now in 2016, the imagePRESS lineup continues to win the hearts of
both customers and industry experts. In addition to providing Canon
with one of its best-selling production printer series, the
imagePRESS C800/700, the brand received further applause in the
spring of 2016, when the fifth generation of imagePRESS, imagePRESS
C10000VP and C8000VP, was recognized with the European Digital
Press Association's (EDP) 2016 "Best cut sheet color A3+ printer
over 200,000 A4/month" award. Given to the best products of the
year introduced in the European market, the EDP's prestigious
awards aim to assist technology-appliers in their search for the
right solution. This award is based heavily on innovation,
highlighting the new technical abilities that the imagePRESS
C10000VP/C8000VP bring to the end user, such as improved speed,
quality, usability and flexibility.
Earlier this month, the imagePRESS C10000VP also received the
Printing News Readers' Choice Top Products Award in the category
"Digital Devices" (non-inkjet). The Readers' Choice Award is based
on the opinions of print service providers on what they consider to
be the most significant products introduced to the commercial
printing industry over the last 15 months, and voting was open to
print service providers worldwide.
"From in-plant to commercial print, businesses require a strong
suite of digital production offerings that can provide both the
flexibility and productivity needed for a wide range of needs,"
said Marco Boer, vice president of
IT Strategies. "Canon provides one of the broadest portfolios in
the industry, and for ten years, the imagePRESS brand, Canon's
flagship in sheet-fed toner-based color production, has
contributed to Canon's success in answering the demands of the
production industry, helping to strengthen Canon's position in the
market."
"With the tenth anniversary of the imagePRESS Series, Canon is
thrilled to celebrate a decade of delivering outstanding digital
production technology to our customers," said Toyotsugu Kuwamura,
executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging
Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. "This anniversary is a testament to Canon's commitment in
continued investment in the research and development of our
products, thus securing our customers' investment in Canon
solutions, as well as a demonstration of the reliability and
enduring quality of one of Canon's most beloved brand portfolios.
We look forward to continuing its legacy of customer-focused
innovation."
