IPEX 2006 — EYEING THE LATEST PRODUCTS

Canon Europe is a separate operating company, but its plans for the show give an indication of what’s on tap for the U.S. market. By the time the show floor opens, the first two models built on the new imagePRESS digital color platform are expected to have formal names, rather than still being referred to as “X” and “Y” as they were last fall in New York City at Canon Expo 2005. These 13x19.2˝ production printing systems incorporate a new toner and imaging system to reportedly achieve the look and consistency of offset printing at a lower capital cost than other digital systems.
