Canon, a world leader in digital imaging solutions, has announced its largest ever participation in Gulf Print Dubai 2009.

Canon will showcase its latest Production Print Solutions as well as host a series of dedicated production print seminars at the event, to be held from April 6 to 9 at Airport Expo Dubai.

The seminars will see industry experts examine how the integration of Digital technology into the Production Print space is not only a competitive necessity but also a clear strategy in building competitive advantage and product differentiation for Print Service Providers in these current economic conditions.

“As an innovator in digital Production Print, it is natural for Canon to have a massive presence at such an important and dedicated production print event. Through our participation at Gulf Print, Canon will provide the regional professional print industry with a range of new technologies, workflow solutions and tangible, value-adding business opportunities to allow our customers to stand out from the crowd and add significant extra value to their business' said Nicholas van Santen, business solutions marketing manager, Canon Middle East.

Following its successful preview at Drupa, Canon will showcase the imagePRESS 1135 monochrome high production digital press at Gulf Print.

The imagePRESS 1135 uses the same core architecture of the successful imagePRESS C7000VP and delivers phenomenal tonal graduation and sharp, crisp lines and fonts to bring monochrome digital production into a whole new league, the company said.

Canon will also reveal for the first time in the Middle East the imagePRESS C1+, the industry’s first light production digital printer to use a fifth clear toner that can create amazing effects including metallic accents, watermarks, spot and reverse spot coating all within the device, it said. - TradeArabia News Service
