Canon Europe expands mono print portfolio
Canon Europe has launched the new varioPRINT 140 series of production
printers. Building on the product heritage of its predecessor, the varioPRINT
135 series, the new series offers unrivalled uptime and productivity,
outstanding mono print quality, extended finishing options, all optimised by
the introduction of the new Océ PRISMAsync 5 controller. This new technology
further boosts productivity, using remote printer driver technologies to
enable production planning and job scheduling up to eight hours in advance.
The varioPRINT 140 produces no ozone and is capable of printing 143 images per
minute in both simplex and duplex modes, making it the fastest printer in the light- and
mid-volume production segments. The printer can deliver monthly print volumes of up
to 800,000 copies, more than doubling productivity compared with the varioPRINT 135.
Together with the varioPRINT 140, new varioPRINT 130 and varioPRINT 115 models are
also being introduced, offering speeds of 133 and 117 A4 images per minute respectively.
