Canon U.S.A. Inc. launched the ColorStream 8000 series of web-fed inkjet printers.
The ColorStream 8000 series has been designed to meet the current and future production challenges of corporate and public sector in-plants, print and communication service providers and specialized commercial printers to transform them into opportunities, according to Canon.
The expanded media range, including lightweight papers, broadens the application focus to include publishing and packaging inserts.
Comprising two models, the ColorStream 8000 series maximizes throughput with print speeds of up to 525 ft/min and prints up to 2290 letter images/min (16–75 million letter images per month), according to Canon.
The ColorStream 8000 series features new 1,200 dpi printheads and also uses a new water-based pigment ink set with latex polymer.
The ColorStream 8000 series and its ability to print on a wide variety of uncoated, recycled and inkjet optimized papers from 40 gsm to 160 gsm as standard (and selected papers up to 220 gsm), print and communication service providers can now proactively respond to the challenges of today’s market and provide high-quality promotional applications next to transactional, direct mail and book (mono and full color) applications, according to Canon.
“Since its introduction in 2010, the ColorStream family has been recognized by customers across the globe as a highly productive and reliable solution. The ColorStream 8000 series is a new platform that leverages the heritage of the existing ColorStream family and takes its users to the next level of productivity, print quality and efficiency,” said Shinichi Yoshida, executive VP and GM, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “I am confident that the ColorStream 8000 series, as the latest milestone in the evolution of the product family, will prove to be just as popular, if not more so, than earlier models and will play a major role in the continuing migration of print volumes to digital inkjet.”
