New additions to Canon’s imagePRESS color production cutsheet press series promise advanced levels of print quality, productivity and versatility in both commercial and in-house print colour-critical environments.
The new Canon imagePRESS C800 series aims to boost productivity and deliver outstanding print quality for corporate and service providers in Singapore.
The new Canon imagePRESS C800 series caters to the rapidly-evolving needs of corporate print rooms and print service providers (PSPs) in Singapore.
Key capabilities include:
- Versatility
- Print quality
- Precision and consistency
- Maximised productivity and efficiency
- Customised and adaptable workflows
The above capabilities are elaborated below with more details from the press release.
Empowered with Versatility
The versatile imagePRESS C800 is capable of handling a wide variety of media, including heavyweight coated stock, tabs and envelopes.
This is attributed to the Elastic Intermediate Transfer Belt, which allows it to produce extensive applications on uneven media, such as textured or recycled media.
With technology derived from Canon’s imagePRESS series, this print solution boasts excellent print quality and enhanced productivity in both commercial and in-house print environments.
Additionally, the imagePRESS C800 operates effortlessly – be it short runs or even complex variable data printing for personalised print communications.
An extensive choice of automated in-line finishing capabilities for the imagePRESS C800 series ensures end-to-end productivity and opens up a wide range of business opportunities with minimal manual intervention, generating time and cost efficiencies with every print job.
For maximum flexibility, the imagePRESS C800 series is also compatible with various third party in-line finishing devices.
Impressive Print Quality
In helping PSPs exceed the requirements of print jobs in the industry today, the ImagePRESS C800 series utilises a 32 beam Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) unit with multi-exposure technology to deliver vivid detail and resolution of up to 2,400 x 2,400 dpi.
Beyond excellent print resolution, the new Auto Correct Colour Tone (ACCT) allows for multi-dimensional mixed colour calibration, while an upgraded and user-friendly colour calibration tool, the Auto Gradation Adjustment (AGA) helps PSPs deliver on uncompromised quality with the most vibrant images and text.
Outstanding Performance in Precision and Consistency
The newly developed Consistently Vivid (CV) technology allows for improved transfer efficiency for enhanced colour consistency and accuracy across various media, such as textured paper.
In complementing the CV technology, the Compact Registration Technology (CRT) ensures that every single image is placed at the same spot on every sheet, granting precision alignment even for print jobs that scale up to the thousands.
Maximised Productivity and Efficiency
The imagePRESS C800 series is capable of achieving high production speeds of up to 80 impressions per minute (ipm) across varying types of media, and achieves the fastest possible speed on heavy stock up to 220 grams per square metre (gsm) without compromising print quality.
“The new imagePRESS C800 series is designed to empower print rooms of different types with a winning solution,” said Chia Wee Yaw, Assistant Director,Professional Printing Products, Canon Singapore.
When handling heavy weight media of up to 300 gsm, the imagePRESS C800 series can produce duplex print jobs with highly accurate front to back registration without any manual intervention or impact on print room productivity.
The device also features a new multi-drawer paper deck with three new technologies, which prevents misfeeds, even with coated stock.
New materials within the system, a new separation control system and a system that blows air at varying speeds depending on the weight of the paper eliminates paper jams to maximise device up-time, hence enhancing print room efficiency and productivity.
Finally, the in-built innovative induction heating and cooling technology enables the device to intelligently moderate its internal temperature to optimize quality and productivity even with mixed media jobs.
Customised Workflows to Suit any Print Environment
The imagePRESS C800 series features three innovative workflows to accommodate the different needs of in-house print and Graphic Arts environments.
The Canon imagePRESS PRISMAsync controller A1 for iPR C800 series provides a similar graphic user interface for the monochrome systems, which makes entire production workflow easier to operate and efficient task splitting.
The imagePRESS Server F200 and imagePRESS Server G100 offer two new digital front ends (DFEs) for faster processing, unsurpassed image quality and easy-to-use, automated workflows.
