To say that Canon has been broadening their portfolio of production printers is probably an understatement. In continuous-feed, they started with JetStream around 2008 followed by the ColorStream, then leading up to the flagship ProStream line—and development hasn’t stopped. In cut-sheet inkjet, in 2015, Canon introduced the Canon Océ varioPRINT i300, followed by the varioPRINT iX cut-sheet press on an updated and growing platform in 2020. They also have an extensive large-format offering with their Arizona, Colorado, PlotWAVE, and colorWAVE product lines, and they will start to place the new iV7, B2+ aqueous cut-sheet inkjet press soon.

With more than 2,000 ColorStream units delivered worldwide, Canon has introduced the new 7000 series for mid-range production. These new industrial presses have been designed to meet the needs of customers operating at mid-range production volumes on standard offset uncoated and inkjet-treated paper.

The new ColorStream 7000 series comprises three models; the ColorStream 7075, ColorStream 7100, and ColorStream 7127, which are available in both mono (1/1) and color (4/4) configurations and offer production speeds ranging from 48 to 127 meters per minute.
