Craig Manson, senior general manager Marketing, Canon Australia, says, “The certification gives Canon customers confidence in their output and, more importantly, in their ability to grow existing customer loyalty and new business opportunities.

“By ensuring consistency of quality in the printing process, print providers will be able to optimise their own efficiencies, reducing waste and, as a result, save precious time and cost. So this is very much about both the top and bottom lines in a fiercely competitive industry. We are proud of being able to offer this to customers,” he says.

The imagePRESS C7000VP and C6000 are Canon’s main digital production print engines, while the imagePRESS C1+ was launched at PacPrint as Canon’s digital lite printer. Canon says its imagePRESS range produces print that emulates offset thanks to its toner technology and abailty to ptiny on both digital and offset stocks.

The new digital lite imagePRESS C1+ press prints five colours (CMYK + clear) in one pass or can add clear toner to pre-printed articles. This allows users to add visual texture to any layout. Canon says this in turn gives new creative capabilities such as metallic like printing and photo-like images, which can be applied to the production of vouchers, tickets or certificates. It also enables security capabilities through, for instance, watermarking.

The press is equipped with colour management tools to work with industry standards which Canon says results in vivid, vibrant, true-to-production prints, making the printer suited to various commercial environments.
