With increased speeds of up to 436 feet per minute, the new ProStream 1800 continuous feed inkjet printer from Canon boasts one of the highest resolutions and print qualities of any digital printing press at that speed, making it the ideal solution for commercial printers who want to achieve ultimate performance. 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. The ProStream 1800, which also happens to be the newest model in Canon’s ProStream 1000 series, can achieve a very high level of print quality across a broad range of media (including standard offset coated, uncoated, and inkjet optimized papers from 40gsm to 300gsm), with the ability to print up to 22 inches wide and up to 60 inches long. The ProStream 1800 eliminates the need to stop production to switch between different format lengths to ensure a seamless changeover—providing additional flexibility and ease-of-use for operators. usa.canon.com
