MELVILLE, N.Y., May 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the
launch of the varioPRINT iX-series in April
2020, Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc.,
has seen an increase in sales of its B3 sheetfed inkjet presses
alongside continued market demand for its proven ColorStream and
new ProStream 1800 inkjet web presses. Resulting from this success,
Canon has been recognized by Keypoint Intelligence as the #1 Market
Share Leader for Total Production Inkjet in 2020. Despite market
uncertainty in 2020, Canon customers showed enthusiasm following
the launch of the varioPRINT iX-series, which has proven to be a
popular investment option for commercial print customers as well as
in-plants and book printers due to the series' outstanding
offset-like quality, highly reliable throughput, and sheetfed
application flexibility.
Canon also led the Continuous Feed Inkjet Market Share category
with 35 percent of installations largely due to the success of the
respected ColorStream series which continues to be the most
installed inkjet press worldwide. Now in its third generation, the
demand for the ColorStream platform continues to be extremely
positive, and many customers have commented on its high
reliability, productivity, and enhanced output—all of which have
been determining qualities in its 1,500 worldwide
installations.
In 2020, Canon further built on its proven reputation in the
web-fed market with the launch of the high-speed ProStream 1800
inkjet web press, with early customers including DS
Graphics|Universal Wilde and MWI Direct. With maximum speeds of
133m/min (ProStream 1800), this press
has been recognized for reaching the highest resolution and print
quality of any digital printing press at these speeds, enabling
customers to achieve maximum performance with offset like
quality.
"At Canon, we are focused on investing in our production inkjet
product portfolio to offer our customers solutions that help them
to improve efficiencies, expand their application possibilities,
meet customer demands, and grow their business," said Francis A. McMahon, executive vice president,
Production Print Solutions, Canon Solutions America, Inc. "With
that in mind, we are confident that our technology, combined with
premium service and support, sets us apart from our competition and
boosts customer confidence when investing in Canon's inkjet
presses. We take great pride that we have once again been
acknowledged as the market leader for total production inkjet."
Beyond being a leader in production inkjet technology, in
September 2020 Canon Solutions
America also successfully executed the first ever virtual thINK
Ahead event along with the thINK organization. Proving its success,
thINK reported the event reached a record number of attendees
across the world, more than doubling the number of Canon
Solutions America inkjet customers from the prior year. The virtual
event enabled attendees to engage in almost 50 educational breakout
sessions, participate in a live Q&A, and have discussions with
partners in the Partner Pavilion, as well as one-to-one exclusive
conversations with Canon Solutions America executives, thINK Board
members, industry experts, and other event attendees using chat and
video features.
"I am incredibly proud of the thINK Board for creating a
one-of-a-kind experience for Canon Solutions America inkjet
customers and partners in 2020. We will all remember the thINK
Ahead 2020 virtual event for a variety of reasons, but most of all
for the reminder that we all need to stay connected," said McMahon.
"We look forward to returning to an in-person thINK event for Canon
Solutions America inkjet customers in 2021 with more sessions,
which will allow for a smaller number of participants and social
distancing. There will also be a virtual component to reach even
more customers."
Further building on its commitment to putting its customers
first and providing opportunities for them to connect and learn in
ways like thINK Ahead, Canon Solutions America stands by its
exceptional service offerings by consistently looking for ways to
maximize customer productivity and efficiency. The Canon Service
Team overcame many obstacles in 2020, including navigating state
guidelines, maintaining safety protocols and social distancing,
increasing remote machine diagnostics, and more to deliver the
unwavering commitment to keeping customers' presses running
smoothly and helping customers maximize their investments.
