Canon launches ProStream 1800 production inkjet press

Canon has announced the launch of its new continuous feed inkjet press, the ProStream 1800.

Supporting customers’ passion for print, the new ProStream 1800 has been designed to push the boundaries of commercial print to meet changing customer demands. Combining new inkjet innovations with proven offset printing techniques, the press strikes a unique balance between high productivity, superior print quality, flexibility, and media versatility. Commercial printers can now expand their offerings by migrating higher volume jobs from offset to digital inkjet. This new press can help boost production levels, reduce turnaround times, and thus increase profit margins across a wide range of applications, including premium and high-volume direct mail, books, catalogues, and magazines.

Christian Unterberger, Chief Marketing Officer & Executive Vice President, Canon Production Printing, comments: “With the launch of the new ProStream 1800, we can support customers who are looking to grow their production volumes without compromising quality or speed. The new press marks an extension of the successful ProStream technology that was launched in 2017. Building on our 30-strong installed base, we are excited to be offering a new proposition for customers that want ultimate performance.”

With the higher web speed of 133m/min (66% faster than the ProStream 1000), the ProStream 1800 produces up to 107,500 A4 images or 11,300 B2 sheets 4/4 per hour while maintaining superior print quality.

The highly productive inkjet digital printing system uses piezo print heads with real 1,200 dpi and works on the drop-on-demand principle. Polymer pigment inks with Canon ColorGrip are used to ensure full color consistency. Canon’s in-line quality control, a high-performance camera system, also offers automatic print quality assurance, so the operator spends less time doing his own manual quality control.
