Incorporating the same advanced technology as the imagePress C10000VP, the C8000VP “delivers the equivalent combination of outstanding quality, predictable colour consistency and flexible media handling at constant speeds of up to 80 pages per minute.” The OEM added that while this speed can be matched on certain media by the imagePress C800, the imagePress C8000VP Series has been engineered for commercial and in-house print environments with much higher volume requirements. It has a recommended monthly volume of 80,000 to 400,000 pages (four times higher than the C800) and supports a monthly duty cycle of up to 1.2 million letter images. The C8000VP also accommodates a wide range of media – from 60 gsm (uncoated) and 70 gsm (coated) up to 350 gsm – and delivers high quality output even on long-run or mixed-media jobs, including specialty stocks such as vellum, film and synthetics.
“The imagePress C10000VP satisfies the needs of those customers who have substantially grown their print volumes and are looking for a press that’s a significant step up from what they’ve been used to in terms of speed as well as quality and general productivity,” said Mark Lawn, Director, Professional Print Solutions, Canon Europe. “However, there are many more print service providers who don’t need the 100-page-per-minute speed, but are looking for a press that will still provide the same high quality, reliability, consistency and media handling of the C10000VP. For them, the C8000VP is the answer.”
Lawn said that customer feedback played a significant role in the development of the imagePress C10000VP. “As a result, Canon delivered an innovative press which gives printers the ability to respond to the changing needs of their customers. The addition of the new imagePress C8000VP further enhances our extensive colour press product range and ensures we’re able to help customers of all sizes and volumes to deliver the same outstanding results on an incredible range of media, while reaching a new level of high quality colour productivity,” he added.
