MELVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on a
decade of experience in inkjet technology, Canon U.S.A, Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today announced its new Océ ProStream series inkjet
press, a solution designed to open up new business opportunities
for commercial printers. Leveraging two years of development
and a greenfield approach regarding design, this series is built on
new innovative technology that takes high-speed inkjet to the next
level of color output quality and media versatility, particularly
in high-growth segments such as publishing, premium direct mail,
graphic arts, and marketing collateral.
"The ProStream combines and optimizes proven, but previously
separate inkjet technologies such as full-page pre-coating, polymer
inks, and extended drying in an elegant design to achieve offset
substrate flexibility and output quality," said Marco Boer, vice-president, IT Strategies,
Inc. "It is the closest to offset in productivity, color
vibrancy, and solid area ink coverage that I have seen from an
inkjet press to date."
With a resolution of 1200 dpi and a print rate of 262 feet per
minute, this heavy-duty production engine, delivers outstanding
quality on a broad range of media. The new series is already
winning accolades even before launch: the ProStream has earned a
coveted iF design award for 2017.
"We are excited about the ability to deliver premium quality on
a wide range of media, which in the past was incredibly hard to
achieve with inkjet technologies," said Christine Soward, president, DMS Inc.
The latest piezo drop-on-demand inkjet print head generation is
leveraged with Océ Multilevel technology for sharper details,
smoother half tones and economized ink usage. An Océ-developed set
of ColorGrip and polymer pigment inks creates exciting, vibrant
colors that leave a lasting impression
The sensitive floatation air dryer ensures that the printed
paper is not touched until the print images are fully robust –
there are no scratches or changes to gloss levels and minimal paper
stress for maximum quality.
"As someone who has been in the commercial print industry for 30
years, I was amazed by the quality and versatility this press
offers," said Chris Petro, vice
president of strategic accounts, Creel Printing. "This product has
the opportunity of changing the market as we know it."
For seven straight years, Canon has been the worldwide leader in
continuous feed inkjet. A key to that success is Canon's
commitment to bringing innovative technology to the professional
digital printing market.
