Canon single sheetfat inkjet printing system varioPRINT iX

On December 21, 2021, Canon (China) Co., Ltd. announced the new products of varioPRINT iX series sheet paper and ProStream 1000 series continuous paper inkjet printing system. VarioPRINT iX series single sheetfat inkjet printing system with stable production capacity, flexible operability and other characteristics can well meet the needs of commercial short-run printing, on-demand publishing and personalized customization; ProStream 1000 series continuous paper inkjet printing system takes into account excellent print quality and high productivity advantages, is the commercial or publishing printing field in the short and medium-sized market priority choice. Canon's two series of new products released this time can be widely used in color pages, brochures, books, magazines, bill printing and other scenarios, through a wealth of sheet paper and continuous paper inkjet printing system products to achieve color inkjet printing double-line linkage, is the commercial printing field can provide single paper and continuous paper inkjet printing system manufacturers, for customers in the field of commercial printing to provide more diverse, perfect choices.

The requirements for high quality in the commercial printing field are very prominent, and the printing quality has played an important role in expanding the market size of the enterprise, the varioPRINT iX series products use Canon iQuariusiX technology, loaded with true 1,200 dpi piezoelectric print-on-demand nozzles, and utilized the real 1,200dpi print resolution and variable ink drop size function to achieve smooth shadows, eye-catching dark details and clear fonts. At the same time, by controlling the uniformity of the nozzle and the activity of the nozzle, the nozzle fault can be automatically detected and corrected in real time or the printing can be stopped to ensure consistent and smooth print quality.

Secondly, the varioPRINT iX series uses polymerized water-based pigment inks and is equipped with ColorGrip in-line pre-coating technology, which not only provides excellent images for different paper types, ensuring color consistency, but also ensuring that colors are firm and stable for a long time. It is worth mentioning that the color performance of this series of products can meet the international standards of Fogra and can provide added value for enterprises well.

In the field of digital inkjet printing, the drying of prints is also crucial, which will directly affect the quality of the finished product. In terms of drying technology, the varioPRINT iX series uses a drum-type non-contact drying system, which allows the moisture in the ink on the print to evaporate, providing reliable fixing results for post-processing. The non-contact drying system also uses intelligent sensor control circuitry to continuously adjust the temperature during the printing process to ensure optimal drying settings, achieving completely consistent drying results, whether printing a fashion magazine or high-value direct mail, providing impressive quality results.

In commercial printing, customers are primarily concerned with delivering the right prints and ensuring quality, which requires supporting back-of-the-envelope processing while adapting to a wide range of media. The varioPRINT iX series adopts on-demand pre-coating technology, has a wide range of paper adaptability, and can support traditional coated paper such as copper plate and matte powder, non-coated paper such as offset and copy, and also support inkjet optimized paper.

VarioPRINT iX series products support from 90 grams to 350 grams of coated paper, from 60 grams to 350 grams of non-coated paper, can make a variety of gram weight and base color printing paper mixed and output at once, can be widely used in color pages, brochures, books, magazines, postcards, high-end direct mail and other printing scenes.

While publishing on demand, achieving a balance of capacity, efficiency and interests is the top priority in the field of commercial printing, varioPRINT iX series products with the advantages of efficiency, high capacity, automation, etc., can well meet the needs of production and help the printing plant to control costs to achieve profitability.

The varioPRINT iX series is equipped with THE PRISMAsync controller with 8-hour planning production function, supports more than 9000 SRA3/hour and 320 printed A4/min, and the all-in-one printing platform is equipped with an end-to-end automated workflow to ensure the first time to complete the document delivery. Thanks to paper transfer control technology, the varioPRINT iX series has a feeding capacity of up to 23,400 sheets of A4 paper or 13,500 sheets of paper of any size, which can achieve up to 3 hours without adding paper; before entering the printing process, the system will automatically detect and discard paper with bending, damage and other issues, and the automation technology effectively reduces paper waste, printing errors and labor time-consuming, reducing costs and ensuring production efficiency. In addition, the varioPRINT iX series products do not require daily calibration, support more than 90% uptime, can provide higher stability and reliability, can fully meet the various needs of commercial short-print and on-demand publishing.

Based on the excellent hardware configuration, the varioPRINT iX series products have multiple additional advantages. In terms of flexibility and adaptability, it can be seamlessly docked into various workflows and can be adapted to the original system; the visual production process and the convenient and simple operation make it possible for enterprises to enter production without additional tedious training for staff. In terms of environmental protection, the polymerized water-based pigment ink used in varioPRINT iX series products is water as a dissolving carrier, which is not only safe, non-toxic and harmless, non-incendiary and non-explosive, no irritating odor, but also because the water-based pigment ink has excellent non-ink permeable characteristics, the discarded printed materials will not cause pollution to the environment, and can be reused as resources, continuously improving the conversion rate of resources, ensuring that each printed material meets the requirements of safety and environmental protection, and also ensuring that the whole production process is environmentally friendly without burden.

At the same time, the varioPRINT iX series products, with their single sheet inkjet technology, even if the device has printed millions of copies, the products produced using it will not produce ozone. In terms of service, based on the data-driven service concept, Canon's inkjet printing system can use complex data analysis to increase the uptime of each printer, the printer will display how much print volume has been generated since the last service cycle and through the data analysis algorithm to detect whether the device subsystem displays error prompts, Canon will arrange the next on-site maintenance at a time convenient for the user according to the prompts. Canon's rich range of sheet and continuous paper inkjet printing system products, from hardware to service, can provide users with peace of mind, making production more convenient and intelligent.
