Introduced as an expansion of Canon’s broad digital press portfolio, the varioPRINT iX1700 color inkjet production press joins the varioPRINT iX-series within Canon’s sheetfed inkjet portfolio, combining the flexibility of sheetfed printing with production inkjet. Engineered for reliable, high productivity and consistent, high quality, the new press will be based on a compelling blend of brand new and proven
As advancements are made across the commercial printing industry, there has been an increased demand to improve production and labor efficiency coupled with the quality and personalization of printed materials to support the growth of on-demand printing and shorter delivery times. The new varioPRINT iX1700 prints at a speed of up to 165 letter images per minute and provides built-in utilization optimization features to meet these demands. varioPRINT iX1700 inkjet digital press highlights include: High-definition printhead – Thanks to Canon’s state of the art, cutting-edge, high-definition printhead, the varioPRINT iX1700 is designed to image a B3+ size sheet in one pass at 2400 x 1200 dpi and features a continuous ink circulation technology designed for optimized uptime. Automated printhead cleaning – Designed for reliable, high-quality production, printhead maintenance and quality control have been automated enabling continuous high-quality printing for longer uninterrupted production runs. Reliable feeding – The built-in registration correction mechanism and air feeding system is engineered to simultaneously correct paper skew and horizontal misalignment helping achieve high image alignment accuracy. The air feeding system improves separation performance and helps transport paper stability regardless of paper type or size, helping achieve highly reliable printing. Innovative inkjet technology - To ensure high performance print quality, the press uses a new water-based polymer pigment ink that contains a highly saturated pigment and produces a wide color gamut. Together with conditioning liquid, a thin ink layer is formed that maintains the integrity of the paper texture resulting in printed output that closely resembles the look and feel of offset print, helping support the reproduction or migration of offset-printed applications. Output quality is further boosted by pairing this ink technology with an efficient fixing and drying system that enhances the robustness of the print. "We are thrilled to announce the upcoming varioPRINT iX1700 inkjet digital press, a testament to
