Interviews > Commercial digital press
The launch of the new imagePRESS marks Canon’s full-fledged entry into the Commercial Digital Press market while setting new standards for image quality among the company’s products.
The imagePRESS features a combination of high image quality and high productivity, compatibility with a variety of media, and effective color stability, specifications ideally suited for the creation of print publications.
In this interview, I speak with three lead developers who overcame various challenges, such as gloss optimization, to make the imagePRESS a reality, asking them to tell us all about that process and the benefits the product offers.
