The modern issue of the Canon imageRunner progress C9000 series has caused quite a stir in the world of digital and lithographic printing - an affordable, 'light production' printing press that's truly redefining expectations in its class. Now, we have been left in no doubt as to Canon's ambitions over the entire professional print spectrum, when earlier this week, the company learnt of the surprise embark on of two new series of Canon black and white (mono) professional printer/copiers - the imageRunner progress 6000 and the imageRunner progress 8000 series.
The faultless portfolio
Canon Multifunction Printers
There will be six printers in the iR-Adv 6000 series and three in the iR-Adv 8000 series - the iR-Adv 6055, iR-Adv 6055i, iR-Adv 6065, iR-Adv 6065i and the iR-Adv 6075, iR-Adv 6075i for the iR6000 and for the iR progress 8000 Series - the iR-Adv 8085, iR-Adv 8095 and the iR-Adv 8105. All come with faster processing speeds, more finishing options and are even easier to use than their predecessors. And they faultless what will categorically be seen by many as the most impressive professional digital printing folder in the industry.
The dawn of digital printers
Back in the early 1990s, at the dawn of the digital age, Canon, in its collaboration with Efi, was at the forefront of the digital colour printing revolution, thanks to the mighty Colour Laser Copier (Clc). As time went by, more competitors entered the digital printing market and as consumer demands for higher productivity and more features simultaneously grew, Canon saw the demise of the Clc, as it was sadly eclipsed by rivals.
The embark on if imagePress technology
With its strategic aim of being the whole one builder in the markets it served, Canon was categorically not about to throw in the towel. Beginning in 2006 with the embark on of its ImagePress range of digital printing press, Canon began fighting back in the production colour sector providing a solution for short run colour printing. Machines like the ImagePress C7000 contribute an affordable alternative to offset printing - no outlay on plates, no multiple runs, impressive finishing options, such as 'Perfect' Binding and astonishing print quality to boot. printers who would have spent up to 1,000,000 Gbp on litho printing outfit's previously, have discovered that the ImagePress range can contribute comparable quality and at a time when flexibility in the printing business is key to survival, the quality to print shorter or longer print runs with next to no sunk costs.
Advanced colour digital printing
Then, September last year saw the issue of the new Image Runner progress digital printers. The imageRunner progress C5000 series, C7000 series and the C9060 and C9070 Pro offer industrialized office workgroup, departmental and light production digital printing respectively. They were the first printers to introduce high grade, fire retardant bio-plastic, made from plant derived organic sources. They are quicker than similarly priced rival machines, much easier to use, with large intuitive touch-screen displays, come network ready, and for those concerned about their environmental impact (or their bills), offer outstanding power efficiency too being power Star compliant.
Advanced monochrome digital printing
Now, for medium and heavy duty mono printing come the imageRunner 6000 and imageRunner 8000 series. Using the base from the colour imageRunner progress series of digital printers, Canon produced a monochrome version designed for printers that only need black and white hardcopy output. The list of features included in these imageRunner progress monochrome printers is exhaustive, but to name a few; both series' have colour scanning as default, faster processing speeds than their predecessors, can print on paper up to 256 gsm, come with single pass Duplex scanning, have optional Fiery imagePass U1, have scan speeds of up to 200ipm, come with iSend as standard, have 2 or 4 hole punch as suitable and offer Adobe Postscript printing without a fiery... The list categorically does go on. In addition, the iR-Adv 8000 series printers also have 5 different fold options for brochures, compared to its predecessors only having Z-fold.
Canon's faultless range of commercial printing solutions
This completes Canon's range of commercial printers, both colour and monochrome (black and white). Moreover, due to the increased quality these digital printers now produce they are being determined as a viable transfer for lithographic printers entirely. Allowing commercial printer or central reprographics departments to produce photo books, brochure printing, leaflet printing, poster printing, list printing, magazine printing, company stationary printing such as letterheads, and of policy the first-rate document printing, all in true pantone matched colour or high quality black and white.
