Océ VarioPrint i300, formerly known as Project
Niagara, brings sheetfed workflow to high-speed inkjet
Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today
introduced a breakthrough in high-speed inkjet with the
introduction of the Océ VarioPrint® i300, formerly known as Project
Niagara, the first high-speed, sheetfed inkjet press in the
Company’s portfolio of production print solutions.
Based on proven inkjet technology, the Océ VarioPrint i300 fills
the speed and capacity gap that exists between conventional
high-end toner-based, sheetfed and entry-level continuous-feed
inkjet presses. By doing so, Canon helps print service providers
find the right print solution for their needs and helps to address
new market opportunities, applications while transforming business
models.
“As a worldwide leader in inkjet, Canon is leading the change
and filling a need where no current products exist today,” said
Junichi Yoshitake, senior vice president and general manager,
Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Our customers
are looking for increased automation, end-to-end productivity,
lower total cost of ownership, and equipment that will help them
take on new profitable business opportunities.”
Renowned Canon technology
Featuring a patented four-color ink system, the Océ VarioPrint
i300 prints on a wide range of media, including uncoated, coated
and inkjet treated paper. It leverages proven technologies from
Canon, a worldwide leader in production inkjet solutions, including
Océ ColorStream® inkjet printhead technology and proven Océ
VarioPrint media handling. It offers integrated end-to-end digital
workflows with its Océ PRISMAsync™ digital front end and Océ
PRISMA® software platform. Print service providers will also have
access to finishing capabilities that are compatible with the Océ
VarioPrint 6000 series.
Printing up to 300 A4 images-per-minute, the Océ VarioPrint i300
can produce monthly volumes of up to 10 million letter or A4
images. Sheetfed flexibility and price point make the press
accessible to a much broader audience in the transaction, direct
mail, book and manual markets. By utilizing a B3 sheet size, the
press is better optimized to leverage existing finishing solutions
for true end-to-end, automated workflows.
The first units have been shipped and are being installed at
four customer sites in the U.S. Canon will continue to seek
feedback from these print pioneers to enhance the offering going
forward. General availability of the Océ VarioPrint i300 in the
U.S. is slated for summer 2015.
