Canon imagePRESS C650
The latest addition to Canon’s imagePRESS portfolio, the C650 is aimed at customers looking to take their first step into professional-level application versatility.
Built on the same platform engine as the imagePRESS C850 Series (launched in September 2016), the C650 is a 65 page per minute model that incorporates more professional finishing options, including a two-knife booklet trimmer, a paper folding unit, a document insertion unit, a booklet finisher, a multi hole punch including creasing and a staple finisher. The device also enables duplex banner printing.
The new press supports a range of production RIPs including PRISMAsync and the new EFI Fiery imagePRESS Server H300. For customers in office environments the C650 can integrate into their existing systems through imagePRESS Printer kits. It also works seamlessly with office workflow systems such as uniFLOW, by using Multi-functional Embedded Application Platforms (MEAPs).
‘For corporate print departments and smaller progressive print service providers (PSPs) who have traditionally focused on less complex document applications, the imagePRESS C650 presents an opportunity to diversify into higher-end, professionally finished applications such as catalogues, booklets and direct mail, as well as high-impact marketing collateral including duplex banner and envelopes,’ said Peter Wolff, senior director, customer group commercial printer and production CRD, Canon Europe
‘With the imagePRESS C650 we can enable quality-focused office users the flexibility to start producing new applications, as well as improve their more traditional internal and external communication outputs,’ commented Nick Klitsie, sales senior director. ‘This is a positive step forward for customers in this environment and, due to the finishing options available, it will certainly pave the way for greater professional-standard application diversity.’
