GRAPH EXPO 2006: Digital Printing — Short Selling Printing

Developments in the digital color printing device arena largely amounted to updates on previous announcements.

Canon’s aforementioned imagePRESS C7000V (70 ppm) color press was introduced earlier this year and is on track to begin shipping in limited quantities March of 2007. The engine uses a new toner that reportedly doesn’t build up on the sheet and uses no fuser oil, thereby producing offset quality printing without the usual toner sheen. Workflow was the focus in Chicago, including Canon solutions and integration of third-party components such as EFI Fiery-driven print servers and variable data solutions from Meadows Publishing Solutions, Bitstream and Printable Technologies.
