Canon Australia has unveiled its latest ImagePress series, introducing of three new presses aimed at small-to-medium printers eyeing digital sheet fed machines.

According to Canon, the three ImagePress printers which include the C850, C750 and C650 models are engineered the meet the requirements of small-to-medium commercial, franchise, in-plant, transactional and quick printers.

The devices operate at print speeds of up to 65, 75 and 85 pages per minute, and are equipped with a 32-beam red laser to produce what Canon says are crisp images at 2400 x 2400 dpi. ImagePress models also use CV Toner and an advanced image transfer belt which is designed to deliver consistent output on a range on media, including textured stocks.

The ImagePress C850 model also supports a number of in-line finishing options including stacking, folding, saddle-stitching, stapling, perfect binding and ring-binding.

Canon’s senior manager for product marketing Peter Brittliff says print professionals can use the new ImagePress series to meet high expectations of rich, consistent image quality.

“The ImagePress series is built off the proven technology that helped its predecessor stand heads and shoulders above the offerings of competitors since its release. We expect this new series will exceed the high expectations that have been set,” says Brittliff.

All three presses also support auto-duplex printing of up to 762mm long sheets, proving valuable in the short-run production of 6-panel brochures, posters and dust jackets.

Canon Australia will host demonstrations of the ImagePress series at its Macquarie Park head offices next week, with installations across the country expected to roll out soon after.
