Press release from the issuing company

Melville, N.Y. – A key consideration for many Transactional Print and Mail Service Providers when looking to invest in digital inkjet technology is the level of productivity and flexibility that a digital print solution offers. Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., is proud to announce its ColorStream series has been recognized by customers across the globe as a productive and reliable solution for printing large volumes of a diverse range of transactional, mail, publishing, and commercial applications. The ColorStream has now attained over 1,400 installations worldwide, in high-volume environments like data centers, print service providers, and specialized commercial printers.

“With the advent of inkjet, and the adoption of this technology, we’re hoping to be a one-stop-shop for our customers,” said Christina Esparza, vice president of operations, InfoIMAGE Inc., a full-service production company based in Menlo Park, CA. “We’ve had the ColorStream 6900 for about two years now and it’s a wonderful piece of equipment for us. It has replaced quite a few older toner-based devices. The web-fed device has really worked for our operation exceptionally well.”

The ColorStream offers reduced manual intervention and increased production efficiencies and can help businesses market themselves as more of a broad service offering provider for their customers to respond to a variety of their needs. Through this solution, operators no longer have to intervene during production. This provides staff additional time to focus on exploring new market opportunities and expanding the business.
