For Canon’s customers and prospects, Hunkeler Innovationdays was a chance for them to experience ‘The Power to Move’. There were several opportunities to get hands on with the latest Canon technologies in commercial printing, and discover how companies have used its innovations to redefine the possibilities of print.

Canon reaffirmed its commitment to commercial print by displaying the latest digital print technologies and shared how its automated, end-to-end solutions deliver the efficiency, flexibility, and quality required for sustainable growth.

From live examples of how Canon supports print service providers in identifying new business opportunities, to defining matching strategies and business models, and how to select tailored workflow and press technologies to accelerate digital transformation, Canon offered a roadmap to success.

Products on display included:

• The ProStream 2000 production printer – an industrial-scale inkjet printer that allows for greater flexibility, fast-setup times and high-quality output. It prints at up to 133m/min and has a print quality of up to 1200dpi by 1200 dpi. It also protects the environment through reduced energy consumption, optimal paper usage, and maximises productivity via an improved product platform.

The machine also prints on a variety of applications including books, medical leaflets, travel books, business statements, and newsletters. It prints on a wide range of media including uncoated, matt, silk, and gloss coated offset media and on inkjet papers up to 300gsm.

• The Canon varioPRINT iX3200 – a high speed, high uptime, high value digital colour press. Canon’s sheetfed inkjet technology offers a streamlined production workflow and stable performance, with little to no setup time.
  
  At its core, the varioPRINT iX3200 delivers ultra-fast production speeds of 9120 SRA3 duplex images per hour, high uptime (more than 90 per cent) with automated efficiencies, and minimal labour involvement. That all adds up to an attractive total cost of ownership and streamlined production.
