Canon Unveils varioPRESS iV7 to the U.S. Market

Canon U.S.A. announced the U.S. unveiling of its next-generation B2+ sheet-fed inkjet press, the varioPRESS iV7, at the thINK Ahead 2026 conference in Boca Raton, FL. 

The event will mark the first installation and live demonstration of the varioPRESS iV7 in the United States, offering attendees an exclusive look at Canon’s latest advancements in high-volume digital production.

“The U.S. unveiling of the varioPRESS iV7 represents an important milestone in bringing our next-generation inkjet technology closer to our customers,” said Kiyoshi Oka, executive vice president, Marketing Strategy Unit, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “As print providers continue to look for ways to drive efficiency, expand application capabilities, and adapt to changing market dynamics, the varioPRESS iV7 is designed to help them move forward with confidence and unlock new opportunities for growth.”

This momentum follows a successful European showcase at Canon’s Power to Move event, held June 16-17, 2026 at the Canon Customer Experience Center in Venlo, the Netherlands. 

Demonstrated to close to 300 attendees from 27 countries in the EMEA region, the varioPRESS iV7 received an enthusiastic reception for its high-volume performance, image quality, and operational efficiency, reinforcing strong market interest across regions.

The varioPRESS iV7 is designed to deliver a powerful combination of productivity, print quality, and operational efficiency for commercial printers, photobook production, direct mail providers, and publishing environments. 

Operating in the B2+ format segment, it expands Canon’s production print portfolio into a critical market category, bridging the gap between smaller-format digital presses and larger production systems, and further strengthening Canon’s end-to-end production print offering. 

The varioPRESS iV7 has speeds of up to 8,700 19.7″ x 27.5″ B2 sheets per hour, rivaling that of a half-size offset press. 

Its combination of inkjet architecture, media versatility, and workflow integration is designed to help print providers increase throughput, expand application capabilities, and optimize production efficiency.

Attendees at thINK Ahead 2026 will have the opportunity to see the varioPRESS iV7 in a live production environment for the first time in the United States. 

Demonstrations will highlight the varioPRESS iV7’s ability to handle high-volume commercial demands with consistent high quality and efficiency.
