PRODUCT LAUNCH CANON COLORSTREAM 7000 SERIES

Integrated workflow and operational efficiency The ColorStream 7000 series integrates into Canon’s PRISMA workflow ecosystem, with optional support for PRISMAproduction and PRISMAlytics Dashboard, an easy-to-use, cloud-based management information tool that provides multiple, comprehensive data overviews, enabling customers to optimise productivity. Together, these tools provide centralised workflow management, performance monitoring and data driven insight into press operation. Practical production features, such as waste free print pause, inspection mode and controlled print in ramps, help operators check and adjust jobs without unnecessary paper loss, while inline automation functions enable efficient communication with finishing equipment to support continuous production. A modern, serviceable platform The ColorStream 7000 series has been built on an advanced technology platform that supports long-term serviceability, reduces downtime and improves overall equipment efficiency through preventive maintenance, software updates and condition based monitoring. A network of sensors continuously tracks the press status, helping to control the entire printing process and to deliver high- quality output results, while an intuitive touchscreen user interface provides operators with clear access to production controls and online support. Sharing its core technical infrastructure with the ColorStream 8000, the ColorStream 7000 series includes Canon’s latest SRA Massive Parallel controller, delivering improved RIP performance compared with previous models. The controller’s scalable architecture allows customers to upgrade performance or transition from monochrome to colour printing as business demands change.

Built with sustainability considerations Sustainability has been considered throughout the design of the series, which uses low power in production and idle modes. The presses also feature an efficient contact drying system, which, combined with precise paper handling and ink control, supports reliable output on uncoated, inkjet treated and recycled papers and minimises energy use. The press series supports customers seeking to meet recognised environmental standards, including Nordic Swan Ecolabel and Blue Angel 195 requirements, helping print service providers to align production operations with wider sustainability goals.

Proven performance The ColorStream 7000 series

complements the high end ColorStream 8000 series, offering a balanced solution for customers looking to modernise or expand mid-range production with confidence. It reflects Canon’s long-term strategy of offering clearly differentiated platforms that address distinct production needs, supported by a consistent, high- quality service and workflow ecosystem. “In the mid-range production volume segment, customers are not looking for promises – they are looking for proven performance they can build a business on,” says Duncan Smith, country director, production at Canon UK & Ireland. “That is where the ColorStream 7000 series stands apart. It brings together the trusted quality and reliability of the ColorStream platform with the service, workflow integration and flexibility print service providers need to compete with confidence.” n
