MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A., Inc. a leader in digital
imaging solutions, today announced the next iteration of the Océ
VarioPrint i-series technology—the Océ VarioPrint i-series+— which
is poised to redefine sheetfed inkjet expectations by empowering
customers to print high-quality graphic arts applications with a
large color gamut on a wide range of standard offset coated
media.
"Within our industry, advancements in inkjet technology continue
to evolve quickly and more dramatically than any other platform,"
said Shinichi Yoshida, executive
vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A. Inc. "By listening to our customers and
understanding the industry trends, we recognize a growing need for
inkjet printing on offset coated stocks, designed to fit heavy
production commercial printers. We are excited to launch the
enhanced VarioPrint i-series+ at thINK, a conference dedicated to
the voice of the customer, as it makes the perfect introduction of
this product lineup."
The VarioPrint i-series+ is a true testament to Canon's
continued R&D investment into customer driven inkjet
innovation. The i-series+ innovation is a combination of engine
technologies, firmware, and performance inks all tied together to
provide commercial print quality on a broader range of coated media
with enhanced workflows driving productivity and possible increased
revenue opportunity.
Features Include:
- Expanded range of coated media for increased application
possibilities, including matte, silk, and gloss coated papers with
up to 110 pound cover weight.
- Enhanced image quality utilizing new performance inks that, in
combination with enhanced color management capabilities, results in
an expanded color gamut. Improved output quality is achieved by an
increase in the optical density, minimum Grey Component Replacement
(GCR), and an increased CMYK Total Area Coverage. Image quality is
further improved through the use of refresh lines, more advanced
nozzle failure compensation, and the ability to import/export CMYK
curves.
- Expanded JDF/JMF workflow integration for broader printer
finishing capabilities and MIS systems.
- Increased throughput with simplex speed of up to 170 ipm (LTR)
and increased maximum sheet length of 20 inches, as well as the
PRISMAsync media management, can accurately steer front-to-back
registration.
- With preventative maintenance improvements driven by Océ Remote
Service, service parts lifetime extensions, and remote tooling
connections, customers have the peace of mind of more efficient,
easily planned, and shorter service activities further increasing
the ability to drive more volume and get additional jobs out the
door even faster.
- End-2-end automation & security with new finishing support
such as an in-line Plockmatic HD LED coater for an environmentally
conscious, user friendly and productive solution for coating.
Plus, the VarioPrint i-series+ PRISMAsync controller is already a
closed system, however, the ability to automatically install
Windows security updates, as well as to other new security
features, provides customers with more peace of mind.
The VarioPrint i-series+ will be available for ordering
October 1, 2019. In addition,
existing i-series customers can benefit from an optional field
retrofit enabling them to take advantage of the enhanced
performance and inks. Retrofits will be available starting in Q1
2020.
