Canon commemorates ten years of leadership in the segment of cut-sheet inkjet printers during its participation in Hunkeler Innovationdays 2025 (HID), the international event that brings together the major players in the digital printing industry. Since the launch of the varioPRINT i300 in 2015, the company has evolved its technology to high-performance models like the varioPRINT iX3200, establishing its presence with over 700 installations worldwide.

This gathering in Lucerne, Switzerland, is the perfect setting for Canon to showcase its capabilities in technological integration, automation, and operational efficiency in digital printing.


Technological Innovation and Workflow Optimization

Under the theme of this edition, “CONNECT”, Canon aims to demonstrate how its technological ecosystem can integrate with its customers’ workflows to optimize processes, reduce costs, and improve productivity. At their booth, attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand how Canon’s inkjet printing adapts to various industries, including:

  • Commercial printing
  • Book and publication printing
  • Business and promotional communications

Additionally, the integration of its PRISMA solutions with third-party software will be highlighted, ensuring total connectivity in printing environments.


Presentation of the New ProStream 2000 Series and Other Advanced Solutions

Among the new products Canon will showcase at HID 2025 is the ProStream 2000 Series, a compact inkjet roll printer designed for high-volume printing with offset quality on various types of paper, including coated and uncoated papers ranging from 28 gsm to 150 gsm.

The ProStream 2133, with a speed of up to 133 meters per minute, will demonstrate printing of short-run brochures, direct mail, postcards, and calendars. This process will be complemented by automated finishing solutions in collaboration with Müller Martini and Hunkeler.

Furthermore, the varioPRINT iX3200, capable of producing up to one million A4 images monthly, will make its debut with advanced configurations, including:

  • Horizon iCE StitchLiner Mark V for efficient production of brochures with superior scoring and folding quality.
  • BDT VX 370 Long Sheet Feeder, which enhances paper input and output in production processes.

These innovations aim to strengthen workflow automation, reducing manual intervention and improving operational efficiency.


New Canon Printing Solutions for the Future

Canon will also introduce its upcoming additions to the cut-sheet printer family, designed to handle different production volumes:

🔹 varioPRINT iX1700 – Targeted at medium volumes of 300,000 to 1.5 million A4 images monthly.
🔹 varioPRESS iV7 – A high-capacity B2 printer capable of producing up to 4.5 million B2 images per month.

These solutions expand the possibilities for print service providers (PSPs) seeking flexibility, quality, and enhanced performance in their operations.


Commitment to Sustainability and the Circular Economy

In line with its environmental commitment, Canon has implemented several sustainability measures in its participation at HID 2025:

  • Reuse of materials and furnishings from previous events to minimize environmental impact.
  • Use of narrower paper to reduce printing waste.
  • Delivery of printed samples to showcase production quality and prevent material waste.

These actions reflect the company’s approach to the circular economy, aligned with sustainability goals in the digital printing industry.
