Business entities have endless printing needs.

Until about a decade ago, no matter how small a print job was, companies had no choice but to turn to professional offset printing for beautiful results.
Today, they can use an in-house commercial digital press, which offers high image quality and durability.

At Toyota Loops, a special-purpose subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) that handles TMC's internal printing, large commercial digital presses capable of paper cutting and bookbinding stand in an orderly row. Canon imagePRESS devices now handle the daily output of 300,000 sheets once handled by offset printing. Canon imagePRESS C7000-series machines deliver high-quality color printing while four monochrome imagePRESS devices produce high-resolution black and white output.

Digital commercial printing simplifies such pre-output processes as the editing and processing of documents from different departments, which may come in various formats. From the first sheet to the last, users can realize high-quality printing with just the press of a few buttons, and without paper waste.

This also benefits the in-house printing of payroll stubs—a challenge because each stub contains unique information.

Toyota Loops chose Canon for other reasons as well. When Toyota Loops was first established, Canon reviewed the placement of printers and the optimal workflow based on the mobility of employees. In Canon's proposed arrangement, one person would be able to handle multiple printers, ensuring a safe, comfortable, high-efficiency printing environment that, unlike offset printing, is effluent free.

In the growing field of commercial printing, Canon considers the customers' point of view to propose products and solutions that support real needs.
