regardless of paper weight1. For larger, tabloid-sized sheets, the new models enhance hourly output productivity on most media types. 

To maximize productivity, the color imagePRESS series was developed to give operators an improved level of control over how they manage the 
device. 

From registration adjustments to a three stage auto eject feature that addresses paper jams and simplifies error recovery, the imagePRESS 
C7010VP series delivers increased uptime in demanding production environments

Further expanding the capabilities of the new imagePRESS models is a new Saddle Press finisher accessory that increases the maximum sheet 
count by 25 percent. The increased capacity allows stitching of up to 25 sheets of 13 x 19.2-inch paper for creation of 100-page booklets, 
dramatically broadening the scope of documents that can be produced. Stitching and folding pressure can be adjusted to accommodate different 
paper stocks and help booklets lie flatter.

In addition to the available embedded Canon Printer Kit controller, the new imagePRESS models offer end-users a wide range of controller 
solutions including the EFI Fiery Central and Creo CR Server A7500 Color Server, which allow production and graphic arts printers to meet the 
most demanding job requirements through increased processing capabilities, support for additional finishing options and a wider media range.

Market Leadership
Upon its launch, the imagePRESS line of digital presses marked Canon’s commitment to addressing the challenging needs of the production 
printing marketplace by delivering high-quality, versatile products and extraordinary value.  Since its inception, the imagePRESS line has 
transformed the digital press market experiencing significant growth and achieving the number one market share position in its category in less 
than three years2.

Driving market adoption of the imagePRESS line is Canon’s commitment to providing customers with the tools to achieve the maximum return on 
their capital investment.  To proactively manage each imagePRESS device, Canon offers the award-winning imageWARE Remote software, 
activated by a customer’s service provider, to generate immediate notification of errors, jams and alerts by e-mail.  By addressing potential 
problems proactively, service providers can deal with issues as they arise to keep customers up and running.

To ensure that imagePRESS customers can adapt to the unique needs of their market, Canon’s imagePRESS Workflow Solutions features 
Essential Business Builder (EBB), a suite of tools that complements their imagePRESS device.  Canon developed the EBB program to equip 
graphic communications professionals with robust development tools and an expert mentoring plan tailored to specific business environments.  
Offering a blend of business building tools and practical advice addressing how to competitively position and market their business, the EBB 
program further distinguishes the imagePRESS line from its competition.

Sustainability
From its initial R&D to design and manufacturing, Canon strove to minimize the impact the new imagePRESS products have on the environment. 
By following energy-efficient manufacturing processes, utilizing recycled materials, eliminating hazardous substances and working to maximize 
energy-efficiency, imagePRESS products allow businesses to operate in a more sustainable manner.  Key areas of focus include:

Power consumption - The Canon imagePRESS C7010VP series offers reduced operational power consumption and Sleep/Low Power modes 
that together lower Total Electricity Consumption. 

Recycled Media - Many recycled paper stocks can be printed on the imagePRESS digital press, making it easy to find a stock that will meet

an excellent ability to remove the toner from printed pages, proving that imagePRESS output does not cause issues for deinking and paper 
recycling.

·         Consumables - Consumables don’t include any VOCs or other harmful or toxic substances. All toner and waste toner bottles are recyclable
and recycling programs are available for customers who do not have appropriate local facilities. 

The new imagePRESS models are expected to be available for customer delivery in the fourth quarter of 2010 through Canon Authorized Dealers
 and Canon Business Solutions.

Show highlights include:

The Future of Imaging 
Canon EXPO 2010 New York also features the “Imaging for Tomorrow” exhibit showcasing new technologies that will enhance people’s lives and 
offers a preview of Canon’s vision for the future of imaging.  Capitalizing on the significant developments in display technology and cameras, the 
exhibit will include Canon’s mixed-reality initiative, which uses computers to combine the real and virtual worlds in real-time, creating a visual 
experience in which users can not only “see” images in a visual space, but also control and create them.  Canon’s Mixed Reality system utilizes a 
head-mounted display with built-in cameras and a computer that processes video to blend real and virtual realities.  

Also on display are future technologies, such as Canon’s proposed new lightweight and compact, Multipurpose Camera that supports both video 
and still image capture with ultra-high definition 4K resolution and a newly developed CMOS sensor that enables video shooting at high frame 
rates in excess of 60 frames per second. 

Canon’s future Cross Media Station (CMST) is planned to become a central media platform set in the living room so that content shot with Canon 
devices, including video and still imagery, can be played back and enjoyed by the whole family utilizing an HDMI cable connection to the 
television.

Three new high-resolution liquid crystal panel display units, featuring 8K, 4K and 2K high-resolution liquid crystal panels and high image quality 
display engines, will demonstrate their possible usage in  professional services such as color management in image editing and the printing 
industry, image quality management and retouching by professional photographers, checking image quality and making color adjustments in the 
field of video production and displaying high-definition medical images.

Canon EXPO 2010 New York will also feature Canon’s work on a portable fluoroscopy, a dynamic form of X-ray imaging involving capturing X-ray 
images at three frames per second to create a video-like display.

The Tsuzuri Project
Another part of Canon EXPO 2010 New York is the Canon Gallery, site of the innovative Tsuzuri Project, which demonstrates how Canon is using 
its technology to preserve Japan’s cultural heritage by reproducing national treasures. Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras are used to capture high-
resolution digital images of screen paintings and other cultural artifacts, which are printed in their original size on Canon’s imagePROGRAF large
format printers. The replicas are donated to the owners of the original historic works including shrines, temples and museums, allowing the original 
artifact to be preserved in a safer, controlled environment to prevent deterioration and preserve the work for generations to come.

Advanced Digital Capture
Among the products on display, Canon will debut many recently announced technologies including new DSLR cameras, innovative HD video 
equipment, office solutions, breakthrough digital radiography equipment and more.

Canon U.S.A., has recently announced the EOS 60D Digital SLR Camera, featuring for the first time on an EOS camera, a three-inch Vari-Angle
Clear View LCD screen, EOS Full HD video recording and in-camera functionality for RAW image processing plus Creative Filters to manipulate 
images after capture.  

The new Canon XF105 and XF100 Professional Camcorders for mobile HD video capture are Canon’s smallest professional camcorders to date. 
The new XF105 and XF100 utilize the same Canon XF Codec featured in the Canon XF305 and XF300, an MPEG-2 4:2:2 50Mbps codec used 
for exceptional high-definition image quality, offering twice the color resolution of HDV and other 4:2:0 formats.  These camcorders include in-
camera features enabling the easy set-up and capture of high-definition 3-D video when two XF105 or XF100 camcorders are paired, as well as 
Canon’s built-in infrared low-light feature enabling the capture of HD video in complete darkness. 

Canon has also successfully developed what it believes is the world’s largest1 CMOS image sensor, with a chip size measuring 202 x 205 mm. 
Because its expanded size enables greater light-gathering capability, the sensor is capable of capturing images in approximately one one-
hundredth the amount of light required by a Canon professional-model digital SLR camera.  A second CMOS image sensor, which is APS-H-size2 
delivers an image resolution of approximately 120 megapixels (13,280 x 9,184 pixels), which Canon believes is the world’s highest level3 of 
resolution for its size.

“Canon is leading the DSLR HD video revolution with our popular EOS cameras and we continue to bring innovative and industry – leading 
professional HD camcorders to market, helping filmmakers and cinematographers create amazing videos that are changing the nature of video 
from Hollywood to independent films and film school campuses across the country,” stated Adachi. 

Advanced Business Solutions
Continuing to redefine the office technology and solutions market, Canon demonstrates two significant additions to its production and enterprise
product portfolios, the Canon imagePRESS C7010VP digital press and Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2030/C2020 multifunction products. 

On display for the first time in the United States, the new Canon imagePRESS C7010VP incorporates three years of research and development 
including significant customer input into its design, with particular focus on the enhancements necessary to allow customers to grow their 
businesses while improving output quality, productivity and versatility.  

Expanding the output range of the revolutionary imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2030/2020 models deliver 
extraordinary reliability, economy and productivity in a compact, environmentally-conscious design.  

“Expanding upon the successful launches of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE and imagePRESS platforms, Canon continues to develop innovative 
document solutions under the “image” brand that address the increasing demand for powerful, highly-efficient imaging solutions that deliver 
extraordinary output while maximizing return on capital investments,” added Adachi.

Medical Imaging Technologies
Canon continues to build upon it medical industry heritage by showcasing its first wireless Digital Radiography (DR) system, the ground-breaking 
CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System.  The CXDI-70C Wireless DR System allows cable-free image transfer, providing medical 
practitioners with greater device portability and extraordinary image quality as well as fast, reliable high-resolution images.  With the development 
of an easy-to-use, portable DR system, medical practitioners are able to save a significant amount of time during equipment setup versus older 
machines and spend more time providing quality patient care.

Canon U.S.A. Breaks Ground on New Americas Headquarters in Melville, NY

State-of-the-Art Facility Is Being Designed To Meet LEED Gold Certification Standards

Canon U.S.A., Inc., a worldwide leader in digital imaging and advanced office solutions, today broke ground 
on its new North and South American headquarters campus in Melville, N.Y.  The new facility will be a model 
for environmental stewardship and innovation and will serve as one of Canon Inc.’s three worldwide 
headquarters, with the others located in Tokyo and London.

“Over the past 40 years, Canon U.S.A. has developed strong roots in the Long Island community and we are 
thrilled to continue to make Long Island our home,” said Joe Adachi, president and CEO, Canon U.S.A.  
“Canon is very grateful for the support we have received from every level of government and the local 
community to bring this new, state-of-the-art facility from concept to reality.  We are committed to 
continuing our role as an active member of the Long Island business and local community and look 
forward to moving into our new home in Melville.”

The new headquarters will also feature several environmentally friendly elements including a design 
emphasizing the use of natural lighting, the incorporation of energy-efficient equipment and materials in 
construction, as well as a landscape design that will utilize native species and drought-resistant vegetation. 

“Environmental sustainability is a pillar of Canon’s corporate culture,” said Seymour Liebman, executive vice
president, chief administrative officer and general counsel, Canon U.S.A. “We view the development of our 
new headquarters as an opportunity to set a precedent for environmentally conscious development 
throughout the design and construction process.  We are pleased to announce that the new facility is 
being designed to meet LEED Gold Certification Standards.” 

“Since the beginning of my administration, I have worked with communities to craft policies that create jobs 
and boost local economies,” New York Governor David Paterson said. “Canon U.S.A. has more than 1,200 
Long Island employees and is a major investor in the area economy. In agreeing to remain on Long Island, 
Canon U.S.A. will construct a new, state-of-the-art headquarters, which will not only provide long-term 
economic security for thousands of New Yorkers, but will also provide a great economic boost to Long 
Island and New York State.”

“The groundbreaking of Canon U.S.A.’s Americas headquarters in Melville is truly a win-win for Long Island. 
This landmark project will be an anchor for the Route 110 corridor and will provide a boost to the local 
economy by creating thousands of jobs,” said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer.  “During these tough 
economic times, that is outstanding news. I’m proud to have worked so hard on behalf of all Long Islanders 
to see this project come into fruition.”

“I am proud to support Canon as it breaks ground on a new Canon Americas headquarters in Melville. This 
development will bring Long Island what we need most right now: jobs. Canon’s new headquarters is a 
welcome addition to our business community and an important boost for our local economy,” said Rep. 
Steve Israel (D – Huntington).  

“Our aggressive economic development agenda focuses on attracting and retaining businesses ranging from 
start-up firms to some of the world’s leading technology companies,” said Suffolk County Executive Steve 
Levy. “Having the Canon Americas headquarters of this international giant located here in the Route 110 
corridor will provide a major economic boost to our area.”

The Huntington Town Planning Board recently approved plans for the five-story office building, totaling close 
to 700,000 square feet, including two multi-level parking garages.  The 52.17-acre parcel is located at the 
southwest corner of the Long Island Expressway South Service Road and Walt Whitman Road.  

“Canon breaking ground on its new Canon Americas headquarters represents a major milestone in the 
redevelopment of the Route 110 corridor, bringing a total of 2,000 immediate and future jobs and spurring 
additional, related growth. We look forward to working with Canon as the construction progresses, to the 
eventual ribbon-cutting, when we will formally welcome the Canon employees who will call Huntington their 
working home,” said Huntington Town Supervisor Frank P. Petrone.

Canon U.S.A. began in 1955 with five employees as the New York branch of an up-and-coming camera 
company.  Today, the Company is a global imaging brand leader that every American looks to for consumer

for a range of new products and services that will help harness the explosion of printable content now 
accessible to consumers. 

“Customers’ expectations of printing have changed dramatically, and we are transforming our business to stay 
ahead of those trends and improve on our leadership position,” said Brian Philips, President and CEO of FedEx 
Office. “In Canon and HP, we are choosing two companies that understand our business and whose 
incomparable reputations, brands and histories of innovation align with our vision to bring customer ideas
to life through the world’s best print-on-demand network.” 

“Canon U.S.A., is pleased to join in this alliance with FedEx Office and HP to bring our advanced document

In addition, the equipment will empower customers to capitalize on the significant advancements in print 
technology that allow for remote printing from wherever customers are located, whenever they want to 
print, using USB drives or smartphones.  Advanced technology also paves the way for “cloud printing,” 
which allows customers to store documents in a virtual space that is accessible from anywhere that a 
network connection can be established. 

Through HP, FedEx Office customers will now be afforded the tools and solutions to help them work more 
effectively, efficiently and intelligently. HP’s cloud printing applications enable FedEx Office to serve a 
unique customer need and pave the way for future innovations and applications that will deliver an even 
more robust customer experience.  

In providing its award-winning imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP and imagePRESS digital press systems, 
Canon U.S.A. will also bring to the alliance a variety of advanced document imaging solutions, including 
its imageWARE Enterprise Management Console, which simplifies the management of installed devices, 
allowing FedEx Office to conduct remote monitoring and configuration of the equipment. Additionally, all 
Canon devices will be equipped with Canon’s imageWARE Remote service diagnostic software. Through 
imageWARE Remote, Canon will be able to automate the capture of meter and operational data for the
devices. It also will diagnose device error conditions, and remotely update device firmware. Using 
imageWARE Remote, Canon will provide the highest levels of proactive nationwide service and support 
to FedEx Office and its customers through its extensive network of authorized service providers, including 
Canon Business Solutions.

The alliance represents an important step in the evolution of FedEx Office from a corner copy shop to the 
world’s largest integrated printing network where work is transformed from digital files to Canon and HP quality 
printed images either in-store or via online tools such as FedEx OfficeSM Print Online. To further strengthen its 
network, FedEx Office also has recently implemented a new pick-up and delivery service for printing orders, 
building on the reliability of service for which FedEx is known. In addition, the company is continuing to invest 
in its infrastructure that connects its centers and closed door production facilities, allowing the company to 
move work seamlessly around its network. 

The agreement also strengthens existing relationships among the three companies. In September 2009, 
HP and Canon announced an alliance to jointly market and distribute a new range of multifunction office 
systems.

Canon U.S.A. Unveils imageRUNNER 2500 Series MFPs for Businesses of All Sizes

New 2500 Series MFPs Offer Compact Productivity, Dependability and Ease-of-Use For All Business 
Environments

In response to the growing needs of large and small office environments requiring compact, highly capable 
and easy-to-use monochrome document imaging systems, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in advanced digital 
imaging and office solutions, today introduced the imageRUNNER 2545, 2545i, 2535, 2535i, 2530 and 2525 
lineup of multifunction products (MFP).  The new imageRUNNER models target users seeking a durable and 
robust, yet simple solution to common office needs, increased small office productivity, or a streamlined device 
to complete their office fleet with an easily-managed MFP, available at an affordable price.

“Recognizing the printing and multifunction needs of today’s businesses, Canon is pleased to announce the 
addition of the imageRUNNER 2500 Series to our renowned lineup of imageRUNNER systems,” said Sam 
Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.  “The imageRUNNER 
2500 Series offers all businesses a streamlined, cost-effective solution, combining excellent durability and 
simplicity of operation.  These new products also meet the needs of corporate fleets, providing IT and business 
administrators with ease-of-management, regardless of equipment location, while delivering a targeted set of 
productivity features to end-users.” 

Streamlined Productivity
With performance and speed a necessity in any work environment, the Canon imageRUNNER 2500 Series 
offers businesses a practical blend of simplicity and function, without sacrificing high-quality performance. 
Built on the imageCHIP (Concurrent Hyper Intelligent Platform) LITE system architecture, which enables high 
productivity and print speeds by efficiently processing multiple functions simultaneously, the imageRUNNER
2545, 2545i, 2535, 2535i, 2530 and 2525 models offer black-and-white letter-sized output speeds of up to 
45 pages-per-minute (ppm), 35ppm, 30ppm and 25 ppm, respectively and feature fast first copy times.

The imageRUNNER 2500 Series further enhances worker productivity with fast scanning available in both 
black-and-white and color.  The imageRUNNER 2545/2545i/2535/2535i and imageRUNNER 2530/2525 
models boast letter-sized scanning at speeds up to 45/34 images-per-minute (ipm) (black-and-white/Color, 
300 dpi) and 35/25ipm (black-and-white/color, 300 dpi) respectively, using Canon’s simple Color Send 
technology for fast document distribution.  With the ability to scan documents into a range of file formats via 
email and fax, as well as to FTP and SMB file servers, the imageRUNNER 2500 Series easily works with 
end-user’s document distribution and capture workflows.  

Improved Durability
The Canon imageRUNNER 2500 Series models achieve increased durability and operational up-time 
compared to previous models, via a newly designed main engine unit. Improved up-time is achieved through

consistency for end-users.  Included in the longer-life parts and further increasing device up-time is a compact 
E-Drum imaging unit and higher yield Quick Fixing (QF) toner.  

Canon’s E-Drum technology, first adopted in the imagePRESS model for professional color printing, employs 
an additional coat layer on the drum surface to deliver significant improvements in durability, while maintaining 
the exceptional image quality end-users have come to expect from Canon.  Canon’s advanced technologies 
also enable the imageRUNNER 2500 Series models to fuse toner to paper with less heat, resulting in lower 
energy usage without sacrificing image quality, a key requirement for many consumers.  Canon’s RAPID 
Fusing technology also allows for low energy usage in sleep mode – 1W or less – while delivering fast 
warm-up times of one second or less.  

Enhanced Functionality
Standard on all Canon imageRUNNER 2500 Series models is an intuitive, vibrant and easy-to-use 5.7-inch 
LCD panel designed to improve operability and usability. In addition, all imageRUNNER 2500 models feature 
dual 550-sheet capacity cassettes and a 100-sheet bypass tray each handling up to 11” X 17” media, UFR II 
LT  printing, 512MB RAM, 10/100 Base TX Ethernet connectivity, a single USB-Host port and color-scanning 
capabilities.  An optional dual 550-sheet cassette can be added for a maximum paper capacity of 2,300 sheets, 
which coupled with a standard automatic paper-size detection feed, provides end-users the peace-of-mind to 
send complex print jobs to the device without extensive supply monitoring.  Large toner capacities and 
on-the-fly replenishment capabilities further improve both worker productivity and system uptime. 

For workgroups that need the productivity gains delivered by more advanced features, the imageRUNNER 2545 
and 2535 systems are also available in “i” model configurations. In addition to the base features, the “i” models 
also include PCL and PostScript (emulated) printing, Color Send, including PDF High Compression technology 
for responsible network management, and Searchable PDF capability to better leverage scanned information 
with PC and back-end applications.  All models can be equipped with an optional internal finisher to deliver 
convenient productivity of multi-position stapling in a compact and space-saving form.

The imageRUNNER 2545, 2545i, 2535, 2535i, 2530 and 2525 are scheduled to be available for shipping in 
early April, 2010, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $9,000, $9,950, $7,000, $7,950, $5,200 and

Canon Introduces Three New imagePROGRAF Large Format Printers

Latest Models Feature New LUCIA EX Ink Set, Improved Quality and Performance

Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging and advanced office solutions, today answers the increasing 
demand for large format prints in the photographic, proofing and graphic arts market with the introduction of 
three new imagePROGRAF large format models – the 44-inch imagePROGRAF iPF8300, 24-inch 
imagePROGRAF iPF6350 and the iPF6300.  Designed for precise, ultra high-quality print performance and 
increased productivity, each model features Canon’s new, 12-Color LUCIA EX pigment ink set and 
advanced printing technologies specifically developed to produce prints with an enhanced color range and 
improved durability. The new imagePROGRAF models will be unveiled at the Wedding & Portrait Photographer 
International (WPPI) Convention at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, March 8-11, 2010.

“In just four short years, Canon has introduced more than 20 imagePROGRAF large format printers to the 
market with each new model raising the bar for outstanding, vibrant image quality and overall versatility,” said 
Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.  “Coupled with our 
new LUCIA EX ink set and advanced media capabilities, the new imagePROGRAF models represent an ideal 
solution for the graphic, fine art, photography and proofing markets.” 

Enhanced Color Spectrum 
With increasing consumer demand for professional and high-quality print jobs, high-end graphic and 
photographic studios continue to seek the capability to accurately produce vivid output of consumers’ 
most demanding projects.   To enhance its available color spectrum, the new imagePROGRAF models 
feature a revolutionary all-new 12-Color LUCIA EX pigment ink set increasing the achievable color gamut 
by approximately 20 percent from the previous imagePROGRAF iPFx100 series and enabling over 90 percent 
coverage of PANTONE colors to produce rich expression. Additionally, to better meet the needs of the 
professional print market, the new models feature a reinforced mechanical structure to enable precise ink 
placement for improved text and line accuracy, making these new devices a powerful proofing solution.  

Exquisite Photographic Output
The introduction of the new LUCIA EX ink provides photographers with the ability to precisely achieve their 
desired results by producing more expressive and crisp blacks, smooth color gradations, and the capability to 
reproduce the finest details in the shadow areas of photographs.  The new inks are also designed with an 
innovative polymer structure that results in greater scratch resistance and protection from color fading, while 
also reducing bronzing and metamerism ensuring durable, stable output. 

Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR), the world’s leading independent image permanence testing laboratory, has 
been evaluating the new Canon LUCIA EX expanded-gamut, 12-color pigment inks.  Henry Wilhelm, president 
of WIR commented, “A review of preliminary data from the still ongoing tests indicates that prints made with 
LUCIA EX pigment inks and select photo and fine art papers will achieve WIR Display Permanence Ratings 
in excess of 75 years for color images and well beyond 200 years for black-and-white images.  In addition, 
LUCIA EX pigment inks exhibit excellent short-term color drift (“dry-down”) behavior, which is critically 
important for color-managed workflows and in proofing applications.  The new LUCIA EX inks also achieved 
WIR’s highest rating for resistance to damage from atmospheric ozone, a particular concern in urban 
environments in situations where prints might be displayed unframed and exposed to ambient indoor air.”

Simplified Workflows
Recognizing the expanding array of media options for large format printers and to further improve the versatility 
of these new imagePROGRAF models, Canon has developed a new Media Configuration Tool which allows 
customers to not only utilize genuine Canon-branded media, but provides the ability to add and make 
adjustments to paper settings to enhance the precision and quality of output achieved with third-party media.
Upon release of the new printer, ICC profiles of popular media types from Intelicoat, Ilford, LexJet and Moab 
will be available for download on their respective corporate Web sites. 

To expand print options and improve proofing capabilities, the iPF8300, iPF6350 and iPF6300 come bundled 
with a new Print Plug-In for Photoshop®, Digital Photo Professional and support for Adobe Color Management 
Module, enabling features such as Black Point Compensation.  Through the Photoshop Plug-In, each new 
model allows 16-bit RGB images edited in Photoshop to be sent directly to the imagePROGRAF printers, 
preserving smooth and high gradation.

Brian Hampton, an award-winning nature photographer printing with a Canon imagePROGRAF for the first time 
stated, “The quality of the print is amazing.  I was particularly impressed by the iPF8300’s ability to reproduce 
shadow details in a way that exceeds anything I’ve seen previously on the market. It’s quite a step above the 
competition.”  Hampton also noted the built-in workflow solutions and commented, “The ability to export out of 
Photoshop via the plug-in is outstanding. Many of its capabilities perform as well as an RIP program without 
the additional cost.”

Maximize Productivity
In order to support high-volume printing and streamline workflows the Canon iPF8300 and iPF6350 come 
equipped with an 80 GB high-capacity hard disk drive (HDD) that allows for faster spooling of large files as 
well as the ability to reprint jobs directly from the printer. To ensure the highest level of productivity and reduce 
overall print time, all new models are also equipped with a standard gigabit Ethernet network interface and an 
automatic dual-blade cutter.

In those environments that utilize a complete workflow solution in conjunction with CGS, EFI, Ergosoft, GMG, 
ONYX and other leading RIP manufacturers, updated drivers will be available for download upon the release 
of the printers from their respective Web sites.

Precision Technology
To fully capitalize on the dynamic color range of the new LUCIA EX ink set, each new imagePROGRAF model 
employs two advanced one-inch print heads, each featuring 2,560 nozzles per color and outputting a super 
fine four picoliter (pl) droplet at a full 2400x1200 dots-per-inch resolution (dpi) to reproduce details with 
extraordinary accuracy and clarity.  Paired with enhanced plug-ins and new, High Precision Printing Modes, 
these new imagePROGRAF models provide an extremely high level of photographic and proofing quality prints.


The new imagePROGRAF iPF8300, iPF6350 and iPF6300 are compliant with U.S. ENERGY STAR 
energy-saving standards and RoHS compliance standards.  The new Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8300, 
iPF6350 and iPF6300 large format printers will be on display at WPPI booth 401 in Las Vegas, NV from March 
8-10, 2010. The imagePROGRAF iPF8300/6350/6300 will start shipping in March for a manufacturers 
suggested retail price of $5,995, $3,995 and $3,695, respectively.

Canon Toner Cartridge Recycling Program Celebrates 20 Year Milestone

Industry-first program now conducts collection operations in 23 countries  

Canon U.S.A., Inc., today announced that, in 2010, Canon Inc. will mark the 20th anniversary of the Canon 
Toner Cartridge Recycling Program, a zero-landfill program in which every component of the used all-in-one 
toner cartridges* that the Company collects is reused, recycled or recovered.

Canon Toner Cartridge Recycling Program: First-of-its-Kind                                                                        
In 1982, Canon created the world’s first personal copying machines incorporating replaceable all-in-one toner 
cartridges. These toner cartridges were then adapted for use in laser beam printers and rapidly gained in 
popularity. However, with this increase in popularity came an increase in the number of used cartridges.  
Canon’s corporate philosophy of Kyosei – living and working for the common good – has constantly 
provided the company with a keen awareness of environmental issues such as a commitment to waste 
reduction and resource conservation.  

In accordance with this commitment, Canon introduced the Toner Cartridge Recycling Program.  First 
launched in 1990, the program has collected approximately 220,000 metric tons of used toner cartridges. 
The initiative, launched on a global scale by a single business group at no cost to customers, marked a 
watershed moment within the industry.                            

Toner Cartridge Recycling in the U.S.
As part of Canon’s Clean Earth Campaign and the Toner Cartridge Recycling Program, CVI opened Industrial 
Resource Technologies, Inc. (IRT), a toner cartridge recycling facility in Gloucester, Virginia, in 1996 to begin 
to reclaim all-in-one cartridges in the U.S.  IRT has the distinction of being one of the few automated 
recycling operations for Canon worldwide and the only cartridge recycling facility within Canon Americas.

Continuing to improve and enhance its recycling capabilities in the region, CVI and IRT completed an 
expansion of its facilities in 2009, adding 770,000 square feet of space to accommodate both toner cartridge 
manufacturing and recycling.  The expansion strengthens Canon’s ability to utilize more recycled materials 
and reclaimed parts for manufacturing new toner cartridges.
                                                                                
Achieving 100 Percent Recycling and Energy Recovery for Zero Landfill Waste
Canon utilizes closed-loop recycling for its toner cartridges which includes the reuse of parts as well as the 
recycling of the toner cartridge plastic container shell to create new toner cartridges.  As a result, since 2003, 
all four of Canon’s recycling bases, located in Japan, America, Europe and Asia, have achieved a 100 
percent recycling and recovery rate (i.e. generated zero landfill waste); by the end of June 2009, the 
company had reduced the use of new resources by approximately 140,000 metric tons and prevented 
370,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions. Canon’s recycling activities have earned it recognition in the form 
of a number of prestigious industry awards, beginning with the Grand Prize at Japan’s First Global 
Environmental Awards in 1992.

Located in Newport News, Virginia, Canon Virginia, Inc. (CVI), serves as the lead manufacturing support 
center for Canon U.S.A.  CVI uses world-renowned production  systems and extensive technical and 
manufacturing expertise to offer manufacturing solutions, including injection mold tools, metal and plastic

Canon U.S.A. Unveils imageCLASS MF5800 Series B&W Laser MFPs for Demanding IT Professionals

Models Deliver Workflow Enhancement, Remote Management and Advanced Cost Control Tools

Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in document imaging and advanced office solutions, today announced two new 
additions to its award-winning imageCLASS line-up – the imageCLASS MF5850dn and MF5880dn 
black-and-white laser multifunction printers (MFPs). These MFPs will enable IT administrators to better position 
small businesses and workgroups for short- and long-term growth, while delivering the exceptional quality and 
reliability of the imageCLASS line.

"These new imageCLASS models meet the needs of small businesses that need an MFP that allows its
users to be more productive, while also enabling administrators to accurately track and control device usage," 
said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "The 
imageCLASS MF5800 Series adds advanced Canon technologies for electronic document management 
and reduced energy consumption in a single, compact device."

The new MF5800 Series provides IT and system administrators advanced levels of device management to 
ensure cost-effective yet powerful usage by general staff. Department ID management allows administrators 
to set up to 100 User IDs and passwords, enabling them to retrieve output numbers and set limits on how 
much employees can print, copy or scan. An embedded Web server provides an administrator the ability to 
manage the device remotely through a standard Web browser where they can view and modify settings such 
as address books, device activity logs and network information. Both models support USB 2.0 and 10/100
Base T Ethernet as standard interfaces, allowing the device to be used by one or shared by many and a 
wireless option is also available.

Further enhancing the capabilities of the new imageCLASS MF5800 Series, both models come bundled with 
an assortment of document management tools that help empower employees to be more productive. The fax 
forwarding mode allows a user to forward incoming fax and internet fax documents to an e-mail address, 
network folder or another fax numberI. Documents can be scanned directly to a USB flash drive in Canon's 
Hi-Compression PDF mode, which significantly reduces scanned file size while maintaining outstanding text 
and image quality. The MF5880dn adds advanced sending capabilities, allowing users to scan and send 
documents directly to an e-mail or network folder.

Both new imageCLASS machines offer all-mode auto-duplexing functionality and utilize Canon's On-Demand 
SURF (Surface Rapid Fusing) technology, which uses a linear ceramic heater that heats instantly for reduced 
energy consumption and fast warm-up speeds, resulting in first print and copy pages in approximately six and 
eight seconds, respectively. The imageCLASS MF5850dn and MF5880dn also boast print speeds of up to 
30 pages-per-minuteII.

In addition, a 250-sheet cassette and a 50-sheet multipurpose tray come standard, while an optional 
500-sheet cassette is also available. The new MF5800 Series utilizes Canon's Single Cartridge System, which 
requires customers to only replace one consumable, ensuring consistent imaging quality and reducing total 
cost of ownership.

Today's IT environments are increasingly complex, and it is essential that all the parts work together. The 
MF5880dn is the first Canon imageCLASS model approved by SAP® AG through the SAP Printer Vendor 
Program, meaning users will be able to enjoy the functionality of the device on their SAP solution platform. 
The MF5880dn also features support for PCL (Printer Command Language), while both machines utilize 
Canon's proprietary host-based printer language, UFRII-LT (Ultra Fast Rendering), which takes full advantage 
of a PC's processing power. IP address filtering and MAC address filtering help prevent access to a company's 
network and its confidential data.

The black-and-white imageCLASS MF5850dn and MF5880dn meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines set by the
 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)and Department of Energy (DOE). Canon is a long-time ENERGY 
STAR partner and is a strong advocate of consumer education of energy-efficient products through its product 
labeling and environmental programs.

The Canon imageCLASS MF5850dn and MF5880dn will be available through select authorized Canon resellers 
at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $995 and $1,195III, respectively.

Canon U.S.A. Launches Digital Printing Solution for Healthcare Professionals at RSNA 2009

Virtual Imaging’s CYPHER Print Server Receives FDA Clearance

At the 2009 Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting (RSNA 2009), Canon U.S.A., Inc., a 
leader in digital advanced imaging technologies (Booth #8339), will showcase the Canon imagePRESS 
C1+ digital printing solution with Virtual Imaging’s CYPHER printer server, a DICOM1 print solution which

The imagePRESS C1+ digital printing solution produces high quality color prints intended for non-diagnostic 
purposes by healthcare professionals looking for a cost effective way to add value and introduce new 
capabilities in environments where quality is a critical factor in relaying messages and presenting data. 
When combined with the CYPHER print server, and utilized with Canon’s advanced portable and general 
digital radiography (DR) systems and solutions or other DICOM modalities with Print SCU capability3, the 
imagePRESS C1+ digital printing solution is a cost effective digital printing solution capable of producing 
ancillary patient exam results on paper with outstanding image quality and vibrant colors to share with referring 
physicians, patients, insurance companies and authorities, as well as for teaching purposes. 
 
Although the prints are not intended for diagnostic purposes, the imagePRESS C1+ digital printing solution is 
specifically designed for print environments that require high levels of accuracy, detail and consistency in

when combined with the CYPHER print server can streamline their workflow and reduce the costs of their 
facility’s printing needs by implementing a centralized DICOM printing solution," said Sam Yoshida, vice president 
and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "Without the complexities of a dedicated printing 
solution for each modality and costs associated with maintaining multiple printers and media types, more time 
can be focused on patient care. "
 
"The recent installation of the Canon imagePRESS C1+ digital printing solution with the CYPHER print sever 
has provided a significant cost savings for our company," said Fred L. Steinberg, M.D., medical director, 
University MRI & Diagnostic Imaging Centers. "Previously, we had expensive dedicated printers for various 
imaging modalities that were not well integrated, had high service costs associated with them and the actual 
film and supplies were expensive."
 
Dr. Steinberg concluded, "There is still the requirement for physicians to have hard copies and being able to 
produce these images on paper with the imagePRESS C1+ and CYPHER represents a significant cost savings."
 
The imagePRESS C1+ digital printing solution produces superb black-and-white prints, as well as true 
consistent color for widespread use in connection with various office documentation printing needs. The 
imagePRESS C1+ digital printing solution can produce output at a true resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 
dots-per-inch (dpi) with 256 shades of gray, high-quality images with clean, precise lines and even, continuous 
tones. With printing speeds up to 14 pages-per-minute4 (ppm) for color jobs, and up to 60 ppm4 for 
black-and-white, the imagePRESS C1+ digital printing solution has the ability to handle a wide range of paper 
stock from 17 – 140 pounds index including coated and textured stocks in a variety of popular paper sizes 
(up to 13 x 19 inches), without compromising image quality. In addition, when printing on a variety of media 
finishes, Gloss Optimization helps to ensure that the gloss of the media will match the imaged area. 
 
The CYPHER print server is an easy-to-use print solution that is able to effortlessly handle multiple simultaneous 
associations and can log the network exchange for the purpose of analysis. Images can be enhanced while 
retaining detail and gradients of black and white results with the SMPTE test pattern, allowing for easy 
comparison between the monitor and the hard proof of study results. It also provides gamma and contrast 
image value adjustments for each individual printer. In addition, rules can be configured for specific printing 
needs such as prints from an MRI on blue film printed on 11 x 17 inch paper. 
 
The Canon imagePRESS C1+ digital printing solution and the CYPHER printer server are available now 
through Canon Authorized Dealers.

experience while helping to streamline business practices and this new MEAP application developed with 
GBCblue is a testament to that dedication.”

Developed for public environments such as convention centers, libraries, hotels and airports, among others, 
the COPYblue system provides business center services to clients without the need for a dedicated on-site 
staff.  An easy-to-use application, the user is prompted through the imageRUNNER touch screen panel with 
simple, step-by-step instructions to complete their desired functionality.  Accepting all major credit cards as 
well as prepaid cards, users can simply walk up and swipe their card to make copies and send faxes or 
e-mails.  Receipt printing is also available at the end of the session, providing the customer with a detailed 
breakdown of their transaction(s).

“Hotel and hospitality customers appreciate the speed, quality and reliability of Canon imageRUNNER 
devices, and GBCblue is very excited to be working with Canon to provide the COPYblue kiosk system on 
these great machines,” said Ken York, vice president of Operations at GBCblue.  “Leveraging the MEAP 
platform, Canon's developers designed an appealing user interface on the imageRUNNER device that 
makes it simple for hotel guests and business travelers to make copies and send faxes/e-mail.”

By implementing the COPYblue system into their environments, customers are able to provide their guests 
and clients a convenient and easy method to make copies and send faxes/e-mail, while also creating an 
additional revenue stream.  

Omni Hotels, a prominent luxury hotel chain, has deployed this system throughout most of its properties,
providing hotel guests with unattended, around-the-clock access to such fundamental business services 
as printing, faxing, copying and scanning, which can all be accomplished with the simple swipe of a credit 
card.  “A great deal of business travel is focused on showcasing the company, pushing forward initiatives, 
and producing results.  As a destination of business leaders, Omni Hotels employs corporate-grade business 
center solutions to ensure our guests have the resources they need to be successful while out of the office.  
The COPYblue solution enables Omni Hotels to offer guests an entirely new class of service that is uniquely 
suited to the needs of our corporate guests,” said Kerry Kennedy, vice president E-Commerce of Omni Hotels.

Further enhancing the ease-of-use for those environments that utilize a Canon imageRUNNER MFP with the 
new COPYblue MEAP Version 2.1, GBCblue monitors both the application and the device itself through an 
off-site, back-end server, enabling them to proactively discover and resolve potential issues, both hardware 
and software related, while also processing all transactions and providing the device administrator with 
detailed reports.

COPYblue MEAP Version 2.1 solution is available immediately through Authorized Canon Dealers.  
Canon U.S.A. will leverage its Professional Services organization for implementing the software and 
facilitating the registration of the software with GBCblue's back end transaction processing server.

Production Solutions

Canon’s imagePRESS digital press line-up has helped print service providers and marketing service 
organizations streamline their workflow and expand their print capabilities by providing high-quality digital 
presses that can be customized to meet specific business needs.  Expanding upon the success of the 
immensely popular imagePRESS C7000VP and imagePRESS C6000/C6000VP – both of which will be 
on display at the show – Canon will also exhibit its latest monochrome digital presses, the imagePRESS 
1135 & 1110S Black-and-White Digital Presses and the imagePRESS C1+.  Utilizing Canon’s unique 
Twin Sleeve Technology, the imagePRESS 1135 & 1110S Black-and-White Digital Presses produce 
monochrome prints at a quality level never before seen in an electrophotographic device.  The 
imagePRESS C1+, developed for the graphic and creative markets, is the first device of its size to offer a 
clear toner station, greatly expanding the design capabilities and features that can be included in prints. 

Alongside its award-winning imagePRESS line-up, Canon will also showcase its new imagePRESS CR 
Server A7000, Powered By CREO Color Server Technology.  This new server is a front-end solution that 
offers a robust and flexible tool set delivering print-on-demand environments an unprecedented level of 
control of their digital output.  Featuring seamless workflow connectivity via built-in JDF capabilities, 
comprehensive variable data printing (VDP) functionality, and leveraging CREO and Kodak technology 
from their CTP system to their automated prepress systems, this new server enables print providers to 
manage both offset and digital workflows from a central point, helping to optimize the print process. 

Rounding out Canon’s comprehensive end-to-end production solutions, the Company will be demonstrating 
new integrations designed to automate and bridge prepress with production output and finishing.  Canon will 
have on display imageWARE PrePress Manager and the Duplo DC-645 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser with its 
imagePRESS C6000VP Digital Press.  Canon and Duplo will highlight how jobs created in imageWARE 
PrePress Manager can be sent to an imagePRESS device and near-line finisher simultaneously.  Later this

HT-30 Three-Side Trimmer. Using the JDF capabilities inherent in PrePress Manager and the Duplo DC-645, 
customers can design jobs taking finishing into consideration, thereby helping to minimize waste, reduce costs 
and maximize productivity.  

Additionally, Canon will highlight its collaborative efforts with Agfa and EFI.  Through a new Agfa integration, 
customers can unify their prepress workflow between Agfa :Apogee 6.0 and :Apogee DigitalPrint Link, 
sending jobs to both their offset press or their Canon imagePRESS digital press via an EFI powered 
imagePRESS Server.  This hybrid workflow provides a centralized point of control for all jobs, with the 
flexibility to determine the most effective output destination for printing each job.

Output Management Solutions

Recognizing that many production enterprises both large and small also need advanced print management 
software solutions to help enhance and streamline their workflow and output management, Canon will 
showcase one of its most versatile output management solutions – uniFLOW Output Manager (OM) – during 
this year’s show.  uniFLOW OM is designed to save end-users time and money by providing effective
management and control over an entire printer or production fleet.  Customers are able to identify and 
control the cost of printing, copying, scanning and faxing, as well as identify printing behaviors 
contributing to increased costs. uniFLOW OM also addresses the ever-increasing need for document 
security by allowing users to print their print jobs only after authentication using their employee badge or 
PIN code at any available printer.

Production print environments will appreciate the modularity offered by uniFLOW OM with capabilities to 
configure software modules including Web job submission/ticketing, comprehensive queue management, 
prepress make ready, and operator management, to name a few.

The latest version of uniFLOW OM includes several new features which enable advanced control of a printer 
fleet as well as advanced efficiency and improved security.  New functions include:

Universal Driver: Single driver to release print jobs to any printer regardless of model, ensuring that the user 
really gets what they had expected. In addition, users of Canon devices have the flexibility to make finishing 
changes at the copier LCD and preview the first page of the document prior to releasing for print.

Interactive Rule Based Routing: Allows users to override print routing choices interactively and 
independently which enhances their empowerment. For example, if a user prints a 50 page print job to a 
desktop printer, uniFLOW OM will display several choices including the printer which can be the most 
inexpensive. If the user chooses to print to the inexpensive printer, uniFLOW OM records these decisions 
and provides a comprehensive cost savings report.

Authorization Workflow:  This feature allows for greater control of printed documents by empowering managers 
to authorize specific print jobs associated with their cost center.

eCopy Secure Print Client:  A new connector enabling users to see, release or delete print jobs in an 
eCopy SSOP or scan-station environment.
 
Large Format Solutions

Canon first introduced the imagePROGRAF (iPF) large format printer line in 2006, and since then the Company 
has introduced more than 20 versatile models to the marketplace that address the various large format printing 
needs of engineers, graphic art designers, photographers and professional printing services.  During this year’s 
show, Canon will exhibit its 24-inch imagePROGRAF iPF6200, which utilizes 12 LUCIA pigment inks to offer 
an extremely wide color gamut and comes bundled with EFI's ColorProof eXpress RIP.  Canon will also 
demonstrate its five-color 44-inch dual-media roll iPF820 which was developed for detailed full-color 
renderings and CAD drawings, and its 60-inch eight-color iPF9000S that was built to meet the demands 
of professional print service providers.

(up to 13 x 19 inches) and types including coated and textured stocks, without compromising image quality 
to share with referring physicians, patients, insurance companies and authorities, as well as for teaching 
purposes. In addition, when printing on a variety of media finishes, Gloss Optimization ensures that the 
gloss of the media will match the imaged area. 

The Cypher DICOM Print Solution can handle multiple simultaneous associations and can log the network 
exchange for the purpose of analysis. It also provides gamma and contrast image value adjustments for 
each individual printer. Images can be enhanced while retaining detail and gradients of black and white 
results with the SMPTE test pattern, allowing for easy comparison between the monitor and the hard proof 
of study results. 

The Canon imagePRESS C1+ color printing solution is now available and the Virtual Imaging Cypher 
DICOM Print Solution is expected to be available for delivery later this year through Canon Authorized

Datacap and Canon Publish Results of User Survey on Distributed Capture

Analysis by Power Decisions Group, Report Written by Craine Communications Group 

Datacap Inc. and Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging and office solutions, announced the 
publishing of an industry-wide data-driven survey exclusively focused on distributed capture benefits, 
success factors and barriers. Titled "Distributed Capture 2009," the report is the result of more than 300 
responses by a cross-section of organizations involved in document processing. It presents a picture of a 
vibrant and growing capture application. 

Distributed capture is the practice of linking multiple imaging and capture devices - usually via the Internet - 
for organizations with dispersed documents to accelerate input, reduce shipping costs and increase accuracy. 
The survey sought to identify the benefits and key expectations for those with deployed distributed capture 
systems, as well as the barriers to entry for those not distributing capture. 

Survey results were analyzed and interpreted by Power Decisions Group, a marketing research firm, based 
in San Francisco. The survey report has been researched and written by Kevin Craine of Craine 
Communications Group of Portland, Oregon. 

Among the key findings: 

MFP use in distributed capture applications has grown from 24% in 2005 to 33% in 2008 
The use of fax servers dropped from 35% to 19% 
Manual data indexing in distributed environments has dwindled by 20% over the past three years 
Vendor selection time has grown overall 
Most purchasing decision makers are middle management 
Automated forms processing, using OCR, has doubled over the past two years 
"Datacap and Canon recognize the importance of end-user research in one of the fastest growing segments 
of the capture market," said Scott Blau, CEO of Datacap. "This survey has confirmed some of our 
assumptions, and shed new light on the value of distributed capture to widely dispersed organizations. 
We are proud to partner with Canon on this important research."

Canon U.S.A. Starts New Era of Large Format Printers for the Technical Document and General Use Markets

Rapidly Growing imagePROGRAF Line Also Secures Number-Two Overall Market Share Position For Canon 

With the popularity and use of its award-winning large format printer line continuing to grow, Canon U.S.A., 
Inc., a leader in digital imaging and office solutions, today unveiled four new large format printers – the 
36-inch imagePROGRAF iPF755 and iPF750, and the 24-inch imagePROGRAF iPF655 and iPF650 – 
at the International Reprographic Association (IRgA) Convention and Trade show (Booth # 825) 

Specially designed to meet the demands of the Geographical Information System (GIS); Computer-Aided 
Design (CAD); Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC); Reprographics; and other Technical 
Document markets, these new, space-saving printers produce a diverse range of outputs from complex 
technical documents to spectacular full-color posters, faster and easier than ever before. 

“The introduction of these new models extends Canon’s ability to offer an effective, efficiently designed, 
top-tier, large format printing solution, while helping to increase productivity with many new, user-friendly 
features,” said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.  
“By offering versatile, compact models which maintain our highest image quality, we’re continuing to 
expand this highly successful and rapidly growing product line.” 

imagePROGRAF Captures #2 Market Share 
Canon began offering innovative large format models in 2006 with the rollout of the imagePROGRAF iPF line.  
Since then, Canon has built its lineup of imagePROGRAF printers to include more than 20 versatile models 
that address the various large format printing needs of engineers, graphic art designers, photographers, 
and professional printing services.  Canon has quickly established itself as a major player in the large format 
market, capturing the number-two market share position in the wide format aqueous inkjet market above 
24-inches wide, in 2008, according to InfoTrends, a leading worldwide market research and strategic 
consulting firm for the digital imaging and document solutions industry. 

“Capturing the number-two overall market share position is a testament to Canon’s commitment in the large 
format printing market,” said Tim Greene, director, Wide Format & Jetting Technologies, InfoTrends.  “With 
its dedication to large format printing, Canon has developed some of the most advanced large format 
devices available.” 

New Model Features 
The new, ENERGY STAR-certified models were developed to maximize productivity with limited user 
intervention by incorporating features such as media loading and ink replacement from the front of the 
machine, a new sub-ink tank system which ensures uninterrupted printing, and a new stackable media 
catch basketI that enables users to print continuously without removing each output as they finish. 
Combined with the new space-saving design, the capability to load media from the top of the device 
enables flush wall installation in almost any type of working environment. 

Prior to this release, Canon U.S.A. provided Bard, Rao + Athanas Consulting Engineers, LLC with one of the 
new imagePROGRAF models to test and sample the many new features included on the new devices. “The 
new imagePROGRAF models definitely raise the bar in terms of a well designed, user-friendly plotter,” said 
Rajen Patel, IS/CADD manager, Bard, Rao + Athanas Consulting Engineers, LLC.  “The new compact 
design and fast print speeds make them an ideal upgrade for most large format printing environments.” 

Recognizing image-quality and productivity are always among the highest concerns, the new, five-color 
imagePROGRAF iPF755, iPF750, iPF655, and iPF650 feature a new magenta ink for brighter reds and 
blues and utilize a new, super-high-density print head with redesigned nozzles that eject 4 picoliter droplets 
of ink, consistently producing up to 2400 x 1200 dots-per-inch (dpi) output with precise lines that are 
accurate to ±0.10%II and as fine as 0.02 mmIII.  All new models are capable of printing a D/A1 color line 
drawing in approximately 28 secondsIV, thanks in part to a standard gigabit network interface and a new, 
independently-driven, dual-blade cutter.  The imagePROGRAF iPF755 and the iPF655 also ship with a built 
in 80GB hard drive to streamline workflow for a medium-sized networked environment or for those printing 
larger sized files with complex images. 

In addition to several new features that improve productivity and maximize space, the new models come 
bundled with enhanced accounting functions that collect printer job log information such as client ID, ink 
and media consumption, media type and output size. Users will now be able to obtain estimated printing 
costs from this technology as an easy way to track in-house usage or for billing customers. A Print Plug-in for 
Microsoft Office also ships with all new models, enabling users of any skill level to create large format printouts 
of documents, images or illustrations that were created by Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint programs.  
Also included with the new imagePROGRAF iPF755, iPF750, iPF655 and iPF650 is a new version of the 
popular PosterArtist Lite, a simple poster creation software program.  In addition to the features on the current 
version of PosterArtist Lite, the new version offers additional choices for basic design layout and WYSIWYG 
text editing that allows you see text at the correct size and font as you type. 

Canon is also very focused on providing complete workflow solutions for the imagePROGRAF line.  With this 
concept in mind, the imagePROGRAF Alliance Partner Program was designed to join forces with leading 
digital imaging and printing software developers to create workflows that enhance the capabilities of the 
imagePROGRAF devices and provide end-users more control.  With the introduction of the new models, the 
following Alliance Partners have already completed software development and are compatible with the new
devices: 

Onyx 
EFI 
RATIO 
SA International 
SCP 
Sepialine 
PLP Digital Systems 
Wasatch 

These new printers represent a new era in large format printing. Now a typical workgroup environment can 
install a large format printer on their network without concern over space or technical knowledge of printing 
to one of these devices. They offer the compact design and ease of use that allows any type of user to 
produce beautiful and quality outputs at a fast speed. 
  
The new Canon imagePROGRAF models will be available immediately through Authorized Canon dealers 
and will have a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $4,995 for the iPF755, $4,495 for the iPF750, 
$3,195 for the iPF655, and $2,495 for the iPF650.  A full version of PosterArtist is also available for $795.

OfficeMax to Roll Out Canon’s imagePROGRAF iPF 6000S and iPF 8000S Large Format Printers

OfficeMax ImPress Print and Document Service Counters to Leverage Canon’s Latest Large Format 
Technology to Meet Increasing Demand for Larger Digital Prints

Chicago, October 26, 2008 – With the rising popularity of digital photography and document production 
services, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of digital imaging technologies, and OfficeMax, a leader in 
office products and services, today announced that Canon’s imagePROGRAF iPF6000S and iPF8000S 
large format printers will be installed at all of the OfficeMax ImPress in-store print and document service 
counters across the country.  

The use of Canon’s imagePROGRAF technology will allow consumers and business clients to conveniently print 
professional quality, larger sized prints, including 18 inch X 24 inch, 24 inch X 36 inch or larger at OfficeMax 
locations.  With a maximum print resolution of 2400 X1200 dots-per-inch (dpi), the imagePROGRAF iPF6000S 
and iPF8000S printers can produce high-quality prints up to 24 inches and 42 inches respectively quickly and 
efficiently.

The imagePROGRAF iPF6000S was recently introduced at SGIA in Atlanta.  Earlier this year, the 
imagePROGRAF iPF8000S received a BERTL’s BEST Award and high ratings from BERTL, a national 
recognized analyst firm and testing lab.

“The use of Canon’s imagePROGRAF printers has proven to be the perfect solution to create value and 
opportunity for OfficeMax’s customers and individual stores through large format printing,” said Jim Rosetta, 
vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.  “The imagePROGRAF iPF6000S 
and iPF8000S is Canon’s answer to the growing demand for large sized prints, allowing OfficeMax to produce 
jobs faster with outstanding quality and consistency.”

According to Ryan Vero, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, OfficeMax, “More than ever, 
customers are repurposing images and sharing them as files or even large prints.  However, they do not want to 
sacrifice the quality of their prints.  Canon’s imagePROGRAF printers are the best of its class and provide the 
highest standard in print quality.  Since installing the original imagePROGRAF printers in 2006, customers have 
been quite pleased with the results.”

In 2006, OfficeMax installed Canon’s imagePROGRAF W6400 large format printers in more than 500 OfficeMax 
Print and Document Service Centers nationwide, and in 2007, more than 350 imagePROGRAF printers were 
installed.  Today, all of OfficeMax’s more than 1000 retail stores have an imagePROGRAF printer.  Over time, 
the imagePROGRAF iPF6000S and iPF8000S printers will replace those imagePROGRAF W6400s by 
mid-year 2009.

Canon Strengthens its Line of Large Format Printers for Professional Photography and Graphic Arts

New imagePROGRAF iPF6200, 12-Color, 24-Inch Large Format Printer Offers A New Level Of Versatility and 
Value for Printing Professionals

PhotoPlus 2008, New York, October 23, 2008 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of office imaging 
systems, inkjet technology and digital photography equipment, today unveiled the new imagePROGRAF 
iPF6200, a 24-inch wide large format printer using 12 colors of LUCIA pigment ink, designed for photographic 
and graphic arts professionals. 

The iPF6200 is the latest addition to Canon’s successful line of imagePROGRAF printers. The iPF6200 utilizes
Canon’s groundbreaking LUCIA color pigment ink, offering an extremely large color gamut and optimized for 
printing digital photographic imagery. Based on the award-winning iPF6100 platform, the iPF6200 includes a
professional-grade software RIP, and an internal hard drive to create a streamlined workflow that is required by 
photographic professionals, making the iPF6200 an unbeatable value in its class.

The included RIP software is EFI’s Colorproof eXpress, specifically designed for graphic arts professionals. 
Running on both Macintosh and Windows (including Vista) platforms, this RIP software controls ink in all 
11-channels, yielding prints that utilize the widest color gamut possible out of the printer. The core of the RIP 
software is a genuine Adobe® PostScript® engine, and it accepts a wide range of file formats such as PS, 
PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and PSD directly. Colorproof eXpress provides an array of functionality that enhances the 
performance of the printer including hot folder workflow, remote job processing and one-click spot color 
handling, just to name a few. The installation process for the RIP is extremely simple thanks to the easy-to-use 
wizard, allowing the printer to be up and running within minutes.  The program’s intuitive interface allows the 
end user to be printing jobs correctly and accurately within a matter of minutes, while still ensuring the highest 
quality output that satisfy the most demanding and critical customers. 

“Building upon the foundation set by our award-winning iPF6100, the new imagePROGRAF iPF6200 will offer 
photographic and graphic arts printing professionals an affordable printing solution without compromising quality 
or speed,” said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.  “In 
today’s on-demand world, quick and consistent turn around times on printing jobs is essential, and the iPF6200 
provides printing environments with the essential tools to stay ahead of the competition.” 

Ideally suited for commercial printing environments, the printer’s internal 80GB hard drive allows the reprinting 
of jobs directly from the hard drive, effectively reducing the time needed to reprint from a workstation.  The 
content of the hard drive can be accessed remotely via a built-in Web server using a browser for quick and 
easy job retrieval.
 
The iPF6200 utilizes the same world renowned 12-color printing engine as the iPF6100, offering up to 24-inch 
roll paper and the ability to print on cut sheet paper. A myriad of professional paper types are supported 
including popular photo luster, premium matte, as well as fine art photo rag.  For example, a 23.6 inch x 33.1 
inch size photographic image can be printed in just over 6 minutes* at a “High” image quality setting (2400 x 
1200 dots-per-inch) on a photo luster paper. The printer is capable of borderless printing on roll paper, producing 
prints that are frame-ready, significantly reducing the workload on the production staff. 

As photographers most commonly utilize Adobe® Photoshop® as a key component of their photographic 
workflow, the iPF6200 comes standard with the Print Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop®.  This Print Plug-in 
allows for a more simplified, color-managed printing workflow of digital images directly from Photoshop.  Another 
new Canon innovation included with the iPF6200 is the Print Plug-in for Microsoft® Office, which provides the 
ability to add a large-format printing menu to the Microsoft Office toolbar.  This wizard-based extension simplifies 
large-format printing from Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint to the iPF6200.** 

In addition to the host of new software applications that make large-format printing easier, the iPF6200 comes 
with PosterArtist 2008 Lite, an easy-to-use poster creation program that comes with a large variety of 
professionally designed poster templates and hundreds of clipart and stock images.  With a few simple clicks, 
existing templates or new posters can be created right out of the box.  For more advanced features, there is an 
option to purchase the full version of PosterArtist 2008, which includes more robust functionality including an 
automated design feature, image correction, variable data printing and more.  To learn more about PosterArtist 
2008 please visit : www.usa.canon.com/posterartist. 

The imagePROGRAF iPF6200 printer is available immediately through authorized Canon U.S.A. dealers with 
a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $3,495, including EFI Colorproof eXpress, a stand and a 
basket.  With the introduction of the iPF6200, the new MSRP for the imagePROGRAF iPF6100 is $2,795.

Canon demonstrates the power of partnerships with hybrid workflow solutions at drupa

drupa 2008, DUSSELDORF, MAY 30, 2008 – Canon Europe, world leader in digital imaging technology, is 
today showcasing a range of industry solutions from two Canon Workflow Program Strategic Partners – Agfa 
Graphics and Heidelberg - designed to offer full functionality for users of mixed print rooms using both digital 
and offset press technology. The collaborations will show how offset and digital presses can work seamlessly 
with only one workflow system. 

David Preskett, European Marketing Director, Professional Solutions, Canon Europe said: “The Insight Report, 
a study we are launching at drupa written by industry expert Frank Romano, specifically highlights that printers 
operating hybrid workflows will be the most profitable print operations in the future.

“Print is no longer about putting ink on paper. It is all about adding value, being able to commoditise your 
expertise, and to sell the value rather than your time. Printers with mixed print rooms – comprising both digital 
and offset presses - will be able to provide the greatest range of services to the widest number of people, so 
we are delighted that our Strategic Partnerships are now delivering the results we need to support our 
customers’ business growth.” 

Integration between the Apogee workflow suite from Agfa Graphics and the imagePRESS range of digital 
presses is being demonstrated on the Canon stand. The workflow alliance, first announced in March this year, 
is a leading edge JDF workflow solution enabling customers to unify their traditional and pre-press workflows 
on one print room.

The Apogee product is one of the most widely used workflow solutions on the market. Its integration with the 
imagePRESS range allows it to increase its functionality dramatically by leveraging the flexibility of high quality 
digital print production and proofing.

Apogee joins Heidelberg’s Prinect workflow integration, in development with Canon since 2006, to provide a 
unified digital and offset solution for customers in a hybrid workflow environment.

With Prinect Digital Print Manager, Heidelberg offers its customers a standardised Workflow for offset printing 
and digital printing, removing redundant workflows and enabling both job types to be controlled and calculated 
with one workflow through the entire production process. 

Customers using Prinect Digital Print Manager have proven that standardisation and automation of the 
prepress processes greatly improves productivity leading to more reliable production and shorter turnaround 
times for digital printing. In addition, depending on the job, print service providers can select the fastest and 
most cost-effective print method – or even a combination of two print methods – as appropriate, such as for 
short runs, proofs, and print-on-demand jobs. 

The Strategic Partnerships are part of Canon’s Workflow Program, which aims to support print providers with 
the right solution in order to increase their revenue and business growth. The Canon WorkFlow Program 
consists of a portfolio of software solutions designed to assist and enhance the workflow process for professional 
printers. These include colour management, production workflow and variable data solutions, all of which are 
underpinned with professional services and consultancy from Canon’s Solutions Business Consultants.

Both hybrid workflow solutions will be demonstrated on the Canon stand B46 in Hall 8A at drupa in the 
Commercial Print zone, with further information on commercial availability to be announced soon.

Canon Shows Commitment to Graphic Arts with Largest Ever Showcase on The Path to Profit

drupa 2008, DUSSELDORF, May 30, 2008 – Canon, world leader in imaging technology solutions, has 
created its largest ever stand  for drupa 2008. With more than 2,000 sq m devoted to demonstrating its 
portfolio of complete solutions, the stand has been designed to help customers along the Path to Profit.

With seven distinct zones – including the Print-For-Pay, CRD, Large Format Print, Commercial Production 
Printing, as well as the Canon Essential Business Builder area – it represents one of the largest demonstrations 
of Canon’s commitment to the graphic arts industry ever assembled. The layout of the stand enables an 
interactive and holistic experience for the visitor, in keeping with the Canon ethos of ‘We Speak Image’, 
whereby it is not solely about products and solutions, but also about growing a business more effectively. 

David Preskett, European Marketing Director, Professional Solutions, Canon Europe says: “ With our 
comprehensive range of imaging solutions on show from Canon and our Alliance Program partners we have 
assembled a formidable  stand that will help our customers get the right solution to provide value-add services, 
as well as provide guidance on growing and marketing a business in this competitive climate.”

When it comes to helping printers market themselves more effectively, Canon has launched a range of 
initiatives. The Insight Report is a project that has been commissioned exclusively by Canon and researched 
by Rochester Institute of Technology emeritus professor, Frank Romano. The report looks at the trends for 
printers over the next few years and highlights what they should be doing now and in the future to ensure they 
adapt, survive and grow. 

In addition to The Insight Report, Canon is also launching The Buzzword Buster, a dictionary of print terms that 
explains and de-mystifies key words and has been created to be a useful book, not just for print buyers, but 
also for printers –including new entrants – needing a quick refresher into the language of print.

Highlights of the Canon stand include the latest additions to the imagePRESS range, the imagePRESS C6000 
and imagePRESS C6000VP. The presses are equipped with several powerful server options, capable of 
handling complex jobs involving static or variable data.

The imagePRESS C1+, the first colour device with clear toner for the light production market – designed to 
enhance colour and black-and-white areas when printing – will also be demonstrated. The new device presents 
a cost effective way of adding value to the print product in print-on-demand environments.

The presses will be demonstrated with powerful front-end workflow options that suit hybrid print environments. 
Canon’s Alliance Partners will display Heidelberg’s Prinect and Agfa Graphics’ Apogee solutions that can 
operate digital and conventional offset printrooms using just one workflow system.

Canon’s large format devices have undergone a huge 40% sales growth during 2007 due to an 
unprecedented roll-out of 11 new products. The business unit continues the momentum at drupa by showing

Canon Inc. and Canon U.S.A. to Expand U.S. Operations in VA with the Help of Virgina State and Local Officials

Canon Continues to Increase Its U.S. Presence with New Facilities and Additional Employees in the Newport 
News, Virginia, Area 

Newport News, Virginia, May 1, 2008 – Canon Inc. and Canon U.S.A., Inc. today joined Virginia state and local 
officials to announce Canon’s plans to expand its U.S. operations with new facilities and jobs in the Hampton 
Roads, Virginia, area.  With the assistance of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Canon is expected to invest more 
than $600 million to expand the operations of Canon Virginia Inc., a subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., and create 
more than 1,000 new jobs.

As part of Canon U.S.A. and Canon Virginia’s “Vision for the Future” program, these expansion plans will include 
the construction of a new 700,000 square foot facility for the manufacturing of cartridges for laser printers that 
will incorporate Canon’s proprietary high-speed, automated technology for cartridge production, and the 
expansion of its repair and refurbishing facilities for digital consumer products.  In addition, Canon plans to 
create a center for the research and development of automated and robotic manufacturing technologies for 
the Americas region in Newport News, and to expand its efforts in the recycling and reclaiming of toner 
cartridges and related materials at its Industrial Resource Technologies, Inc. (IRT) operations in Gloucester 
County, Virginia.

“Today’s announcement symbolizes a significant investment in manufacturing in the U.S.,” said Tsuneji Uchida, 
president and chief operating officer, Canon Inc.  “The combination of producing, selling, collecting and 
recycling cartridges locally, and eliminating the need to transport products around the world, will allow us to 
have a positive environmental impact by helping to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide.

“In addition, Canon’s new automated production system will enable the Company to maintain cost competitive 
manufacturing, better manage labor costs and deliver products in a timely fashion,” added Uchida.

Joe Adachi, president and chief executive officer, Canon U.S.A., added, “The U.S. and the Americas are key 
regions for the growth and success of the Canon brand now and in the future.  Canon is committed to 
continuously increasing and enhancing its operations here in the U.S. to better serve the Americas, as 
evidenced by today’s announcement.”

According to Takayoshi Hanagata, president and chief executive officer, Canon Virginia and IRT, “Over the 
years, we have enjoyed outstanding relationships with Virginia state and local officials.  We would like to thank 
Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine, Newport News Mayor Joe Frank and Chair Teresa Altemus of Gloucester 
County for their hard work and personal involvement.  We greatly appreciate their efforts in helping Canon 
expand our presence and remain in the region.”

“Canon’s commitment to build on its 23-year relationship with the Commonwealth underscores the Company’s 
faith in Virginia and our ability to provide a business climate for its continued success,” said Virginia Governor 
Timothy M. Kaine.  “We are honored by Canon’s presence in Virginia and the many benefits this latest expansion 
will bring to the Newport News and Gloucester communities.”

A cornerstone of this project is the establishment of a partnership between Canon Virginia and a network of 
workforce development resources throughout Southeastern Virginia to quickly develop a highly skilled, 
technical and motivated workforce to support the expansion.  This alliance, which includes the Virginia 
Community College System, local schools and the Virginia Department of Business Assistance, among others, 
will support the development of a Technical Training Academy, designed to equip Canon Virginia’s and the 
IRT’s growing workforce with the skills necessary to support advanced manufacturing and product repair 
operations.

Canon is committed to exploring strategies for collaboration with Virginia’s higher education institutions.  For 
example, Canon and Canon Virginia announced a partnership with Christopher Newport University in Newport 
News to form the Christopher Newport University-Canon Leadership Scholars Program.  Beginning in August 
2008, the top 25 students chosen to participate in Christopher Newport University’s President Leadership 
Program will become Canon Leadership Scholars, receiving scholarships and presented with opportunities to 
study aboard and participate in unique leadership programs.

In addition to its investment in the Virginia area, last year, Canon U.S.A. announced that it will be building a new 
state-of-the-art headquarters for its Americas region in New York over the next several years.  Canon U.S.A. 
began in 1955 with five employees as the New York branch of an up-and-coming camera company.  Today, 
Canon is a global imaging brand leader that every American looks to for consumer and business innovations 
and technologies.  Canon has been part of the Commonwealth of Virginia for 23 years since Canon Virginia, Inc., 
was incorporated in 1985.

Canon established the industry’s first and longest-running Cartridge Return Program in 1990.  Working closely 
with Canon Virginia, Canon has been able to divert more than 150,000 tons of toner cartridges from landfills, as 
a result of this program.

Further underscoring its commitment to the environment, all Canon U.S.A. and Canon Virginia facilities have 
received ISO 14001 Certification under Canon’s Global ISO 14001 Certification Initiative.    The ISO 14001 
Standard is an internationally accepted specification for environmental management systems created by the 
International Organization for Standardization to help organizations minimize how their operations affect the 
environment and comply with related laws, regulations and requirements.

Canon and Sepialine Introduce Advanced Accounting for Canon Large Format Printers

Sepialine's Argos Software to Help Canon imagePROGRAF Better Capture Print Costs and Usage 
 
Lake Success, N.Y., and San Francisco, April 7, 2008 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in imaging solutions, 
and Sepialine, Inc., today announced the immediate availability of Sepialine's print accounting software for 
the Canon imagePROGRAF large format printer series. The new software extends Sepialine's Argos Cost 
Recovery System by integrating directly with imagePROGRAF large format printers to provide detailed print 
records that include total ink consumption. 

"Capturing print costs is critical to our customers, and that's why our partnership with Sepialine is an important 
step for us," said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "For 
firms looking to monitor and recover print expenses, Sepialine's ability to report costs based on actual usage is a 
unique and tangible benefit. Our relationship with Sepialine allows Canon to deliver truly outstanding cost 
recovery, and we're gratified to count Sepialine as a partner."

Inkjet printers such as Canon's imagePROGRAF series serve a wide range of purposes, ranging from technical 
line drawings to full-color presentation materials. The versatility of inkjet printers presents a paradox: some inkjet 
printing consumes large amounts of ink and is, therefore, expensive. Other times, a print job requires less ink at 
a relatively low cost. Unless print tracking software can detect those differences in print jobs, usage reports 
do not accurately reflect total print costs. Sepialine's new integration software solves the inkjet tracking dilemma 
by categorizing and determining the cost of print jobs based on ink consumption, resulting in precise and 
accurate cost reporting.

The new imagePROGRAF integration software is the latest addition to Sepialine's extensive support for Canon 
products, which also includes the newly announced Argos Embedded Copy Tracking for Canon MEAP devices, 
a pure software solution for tracking Canon MFPs. Together, the imagePROGRAF and MEAP cost recovery 
products offer Canon dealers and customers a complete view of their equipment expenses.

"Sepialine's goal is to accurately track and monitor 100 percent of our customers' expenses," said Mike Cahill, 
vice president, Engineering, Sepialine. "This new integration helps achieve that, bringing a new degree of 
precision and accuracy to tracking on Canon imagePROGRAF printers."

Sepialine's accounting software for imagePROGRAF printers is available immediately from Sepialine.

Canon U.S.A. Introduces The New imagePROGRAF iPF9100 And iPF8100 12-Color Large Format Printers

New York, October 18, 2007 - Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of office imaging systems, ink-jet 
technology and digital photography equipment, today unveiled two new imagePROGRAF 12-color pigment ink 
large format printers, the imagePROGRAF iPF9100 and imagePROGRAF iPF8100. These latest additions to the 
Company’s imagePROGRAF line of large format printers will replace the imagePROGRAF iPF9000 and iPF8000
models, and incorporate an 80 GB hard drive, and the newly reformulated Gray, Photo Gray, Black and Matte 
Black LUCIA inks for enhanced monochrome prints.  Canon will have both imagePROGRAF models on display 
at the Canon booth (#318) during the PhotoPlus Expo in New York City, October 18-20.

The new imagePROGRAF iPF9100 and iPF8100 printers utilize the Company’s latest twelve-color ink system 
featuring Canon’s proprietary LUCIA pigment inks including the four enhanced monochrome inks.  The 
reformulated inks help the iPF9100 and iPF8100 reduce the occurrence of "bronzing," a phenomenon in which 
printed colors take on a metallic hue depending on the angle at which they are viewed.   Canon’s LUCIA inks 
help the imagePROGRAF printers achieve smooth natural image expression with minimal graininess, and better 
ink adhesion for improved scratch resistance.

Both the imagePROGRAF iPF9100 and iPF8100 printers, capable of 60-inch wide and 44-inch wide prints 
respectively, support next generation "Kyuanos" color management technology for Windows, to deliver output 
color suitable for different viewing conditions such as fluorescent lights, incandescent lights, or sunlight. Each 
model also includes easy-to-use color calibration to help ensure output color consistency and accuracy. The 
combination of Kyuanos and Canon’s color calibration provides users with an easy solution to achieve consistent 
and accurate color output from print to print, and machine to machine, and also for various lighting conditions. 

"We are proud of the imaging technology achievements engineered into our latest generation of 
imagePROGRAF large format printers.  The reformulated monochrome inks, new print heads, and a large hard 
drive will help our customers achieve excellent print and workflow results," said Jim Rosetta, vice president and 
general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.

These new additions to Canon’s large format portfolio provide one of the industry’s largest color gamuts with 
Canon’s new 12-color inkset featuring LUCIA pigmented inks with Red, Blue, Green, Cyan, Photo Cyan, 
Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, and reformulated Black, Matte Black, Gray and Photo Gray.  The brand’s 
proprietary L-COA controller processes high resolution files quickly and accurately. For the iPF9100 and iPF8100 
models, L-COA’s new intelligent screen dot pattern and precise ink drop control eliminate visible dot graininess 
to an even higher level than their predecessor’s.

Both imagePROGRAF models use the Company’s proprietary FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle 
Engineering) print-head technology and dual print head design incorporating a total of 30,720 ink nozzles, 
(2,560 nozzles per color).  The new print heads help the imagePROGRAF iPF9100 and iPF8100 achieve a 
maximum resolution of up to 2400 x 1200 dpi, while the new print head design includes an improved dithering 
pattern and uniform four picoliter droplet size.  Each printer features automatic clogged nozzle detection to help 
reduce wear-and-tear on the print heads, and ensure excellent print quality throughout their long life. 

The new iPF9100 and iPF8100 models feature the new imagePROGRAF Printer Driver 2007 with user-friendly 
features for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.  The driver also includes Digital Photo Front-
Access, which is a software application that allows users to view and arrange multiple images from a digital 
camera and import them into multiple image editing software applications such as PosterArtist or Adobe 
Photoshop. The imagePROGRAF Printer Driver 2007 even includes a new Portrait Mode setting to provide the 
user with an easy and automatic adjustment with the contrast setting to provide a professional studio effect.

With Canon’s portfolio of fine art and photographic media, the iPF9100 and iPF8100 printers will be key players 
in the realm of large format photographic printing for professional photographers and digital artists providing a 
total Canon-to-Canon capture to output solution.   PosterArtist 2007 - sold separately - is also available for use 
with the new imagePROGRAF models to help make possible the easy creation of professional-quality posters 
and design layouts.

The imagePROGRAF iPF9100 and iPF8100 printers will be available through authorized Canon U.S.A. dealers 
in November 2007 with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $14,995 and $5,995 respectively.  PosterArtist 
2007 is available through authorized Canon U.S.A. dealers with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $799.

Drawing the Line - Canon Introduces Two New Large Format Printers for CAD And GIS Applications

Chicago, September 9, 2007 - Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of office imaging systems, inkjet technology 
and digital photography equipment, today announced two new large format printers - the imagePROGRAF iPF710 
and imagePROGRAF iPF610 - for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) 
applications as well as general office large format printing. The new imagePROGRAF iPF710 and iPF610 large 
format printers will be on display at the Graph Expo 2007 tradeshow in the Canon booth, # 2400.

The new Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 and iPF610 printers feature the Company's five-color dye/pigment 
Reactive ink system, enabling them to produce black lines and texts that have a resistance against rubbing, 
moisture and bleeding of intersecting lines.  This results in sharp, lines as thin as 0.02mm* and high-density 
black for CAD line drawings, as well as vivid colors and solid image consistency with sharp text for superb 
signs and posters for the general office.  

The new imagePROGRAF models also utilize Canon's L-COA image processor to instantly interpret advanced 
image-algorithms for incredible print speeds.  The combination of the L-COA image processor and Reactive ink 
technology help to rapidly produce crisp and clear text and precise, intricately detailed line drawing while retaining 
line accuracy at ±0.1%**. The new iPF610 is capable of creating an A1/D-sized print (23.4" × 33.1") in just 31 
seconds on plain paper in fast mode while the iPF710 can produce A0/E-sized output (33.1" × 46.8") in only 55 
seconds on plain paper in fast mode, all in full color.

Printing on 36- and 24-inch wide media, respectively, the iPF710 and iPF610 are geared for CAD and GIS 
applications and support widely available HP-GL/2 and HP-RTL page description languages to ensure
compatibility with virtually any CAD and GIS applications.  The printers also come with the AutoCAD® 
imagePROGRAF HDI Driver and imagePROGRAF Printer Driver 2007 compatible with Windows and Macintosh 
operating systems for easy operation. Free Layout for Windows (Auto Layout for Mac) feature within the printer 
driver enables nesting of several smaller drawings or documents on a larger sheet, saving paper and effort to lay 
them out manually. Other new features include quiet operation and a large illuminated LCD control panel with 
instruction illustrations.

"It is important that our printing technology be able to properly represent the intricate detail of today's Computer
Aided Design software.  Our latest imagePROGRAF printers accurately depict the color and sharp lines for even 
the most detailed architectural, automotive, or product development design renderings, allowing engineers to 
proudly present and display their work," said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems 
Group, Canon U.S.A.

The five-color dye/pigment Reactive ink system includes four highly colorfast dye inks and a pigment-based 
matte black ink for optimized print image quality on more than 25 types of Canon Genuine print media including 
plain bond paper, coated paper, glossy photo paper, and film. Canon's Reactive ink system consists of 
dye-based inks that feature fade resistance in Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and the Company's Matte-Black 
pigment ink.  

Contributing to outstanding productivity and operating ease, the models come with individual 90ml ink tanks and 
can accommodate high-capacity 130 ml replacement ink tanks (total of up to 260ml for Matte Black) for extensive 
use. The iPF610 offers a unique four-way media feed system including a 250-sheet capacity cassette for cut-
sheet paper up to A2/C (17"×23.4") size, a roll feed, single-sheet top loading and front-loading for thick media 
up to 1.5mm. Both the iPF710 and the iPF610 support roll media with 2- or 3-inch core, up to 150mm in roll media 
diameter, accommodating 300ft coated paper rolls.

The imagePROGRAF iPF710 and iPF610 feature Canon's proprietary FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle 
Engineering) high-precision print head technology and come equipped with a total of 15,360 individual ink 
nozzles-5,120 ink nozzles for matte black ink, and 2,560 nozzles for each of the four other colors-producing ink 
droplets as small as 4 picoliters. 

The two new Canon imagePROGRAF printers are bundled with Digital Photo Front-Access portal software, 
which contributes to greater workflow efficiency in digital photo-printing processes. Additionally, Canon 
PosterArtist 2007 (sold separately) poster-creation software, for Windows, is available to satisfy a diverse range 
of poster-production and photo-printing needs at different skill levels, from enlarged poster printing for educational 
institutions to point-of-purchase indoor signs.

The imagePROGRAF iPF710 and iPF610 printers are expected to be available through authorized Canon U.S.A. 
dealers later this year, with manufacturer suggested selling prices of $3,995 and $2,295 respectively.

"S" Is For Speed - Canon Introduces New imagePROGRAF S-Series Large Format Printers FOR PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS

Chicago, September 9, 2007 - Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of office imaging systems, inkjet technology 
and digital photography equipment, today announced the new imagePROGRAF S-series large format printers, 
providing exceptionally rapid print speeds for high-volume production environments.  The S-series of 
imagePROGRAF printers will launch with two models, the imagePROGRAF iPF9000S and iPF8000S printing at 
60- and 44-inches respectively.  The new imagePROGRAF S-series printers will be on display at Graph Expo 
2007 in the Canon booth, # 2400.

Canon's imagePROGRAF large format printers are already known for their fast print speeds, end-user replaceable 
print heads, and high-quality images, and now the S-series raises the bar on speed and performance.  Boasting 
up to a 40 percent increase in speed over the imagePROGRAF iPF9000 and iPF8000, the S-series printers can 
render an A0-sized print (32.5" x 40.6") in 4.9 minutes [i] in Standard Mode  on glossy photo paper.  Adding to 
the printers' productivity is the ink sub tank feature which allows operators to replace empty ink tanks on the fly 
without interrupting the printing process. The imagePROGRAF iPF9000S and iPF8000S will allow production 
printers to produce more quality prints per day and help increase productivity for print shops across the country.  

"Our research indicates that the top feature print service providers - who already have wide format printers - 
consider in new equipment purchases is greater print speed," said Tim Greene, director, Wide Format Technologies, 
InfoTrends.

The new Canon imagePROGRAF S-series printers each feature a high-capacity 80 GB hard drive so printers 
can queue more print jobs without burdening networked computer systems.  Another new feature of the 
imagePROGRAF S-series is media skew correction.  The printer will detect when paper is not properly aligned 
and shift the media's edge to correct alignment and ensure even prints, especially critical for labor-saving 4-sided 
borderless printing (up to 42" wide) to reliably print borderless printing with razor sharp precision.  The printers also 
feature Kyuanos, a feature that allows operators to adjust print tones to various ambient light conditions to help 
provide favorable color under various conditions.

"In today's digital world, printers are pressured to turnaround print jobs faster than ever before.  The 
imagePROGRAF S-series is Canon's answer to those client demands, allowing printers to produce jobs faster 
with outstanding quality and consistency," said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging 
Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.

The new imagePROGRAF S-series printers uses a set of  an eight-color LUCIA pigment inks with Cyan, Photo 
Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Black, Matte Black and Gray ink tones. Using a dual print head system, 
the S-series printers employ 30,720 nozzles - the same number as the other Graphic Arts models - but using an 
eight-color ink set, the printers are able to employ up to 5,120 nozzles per color - the most nozzles per color in 
the industry.  

The imagePROGRAF S-series newly developed eight-color ink system symmetrically arranges the nozzles for 
Cyan, Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta so that ink droplets of those three colors will be fired in the same 
sequence in both forward and reverse passes.  The sequence of bi-directional printing for these three colors 
helps reduce subtle color variations that can come with ink firing sequences. This system allows for faster 
printing with fewer passes, and better color evenness.   

With a maximum print resolution of 2400 x 1200 dpi, the new imagePROGRAF S-series is ideal for production 
print shops looking to produce posters, signage and display materials faster than ever before, as well as 
commercial printers, in-plant facilities, print-for-pays, tradeshow exhibit builders, and signage shops. The S-series 
still incorporates Canon's advanced professional features such as built-in color calibration for color stability, 
automatic clogged nozzle detection and compensation for reliability; 330ml and 700ml selectable ink capacity 
sizes for versatility; and a large, backlit LCD panel for ease of use. 

Canon's new PosterArtist 2007 is available for purchase with imagePROGRAF large format printers.  The 
Windows only software includes an Auto Design feature, where users simply designate images to be 
incorporated into a poster, and PosterArtist 2007 will automatically arrange the images into a poster template 
to create professional-looking posters quickly and easily.

The imagePROGRAF iPF9000S and imagePROGRAF iPF8000S printers are scheduled to be available 
through authorized Canon U.S.A. dealers in October 2007 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of 
$14,995 and $5,995 respectively.

Chicago.  With interactive product displays and customer seminars, this invitation-only, three-day Canon event 
puts the spotlight on the Company's award-winning color, production, workflow and service offerings that have 
helped earn the reputation as the "First in Color."

"At this year's Digital Solutions Forum, we will show how our customers and partners are putting Canon technology 
and innovation to use to solve real business challenges, from the office desktop to  production and wide format 
printing," said Tod Pike, senior vice president, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.  "Canon's color heritage 
has created a strong foundation that has allowed the Company to lead the market for three decades.  Today, 
Canon remains a market innovator committed to and investing in digital workflow solutions, services and 
technologies that help our dealers and customers efficiently enhance their capabilities and achieve a competitive 
advantage.  With offerings such as the new imagePRESS C7000VP digital press and Color imageRUNNER 
C5185 Series, we are poised to revolutionize the world of color printing yet again."

Canon's Color Heritage:  20 Years of Digital Color and 1,000,000 Digital Color Units Sold

Since launching its first color copier 30 years ago in 1977 and its first digital color copier (CLC-1) in 1987, Canon 
continues to lead the way in technology innovation to become a market leader and a brand name that is 
synonymous with color.  Canon recently reached another milestone in its illustrious color history with the sale 
of its 1,000,000th digital color copier.

At the Digital Solutions Forum, Canon further solidifies its position in the color market with the introduction of the 
Color imageRUNNER C5185 Series.  The Color imageRUNNER C5185 Series is designed to transform the way 
businesses approach and manage their color print output by providing a solution that offers increased functionality 
with less complexity.

With robust functionality, advanced print engine technology, superior paper-handling and professional finishing 
options, the Color imageRUNNER C5185 Series models are ideal multifunction devices for the office.  This new 
Color imageRUNNER model produces fast output at up to 51 pages-per-minute (ppm) for both color and black-
and-white letter-sized documents, has top-of-the-line paper-handling capabilities and up to 5,000-sheet paper

imageRUNNER devices scans both sides of originals simultaneously at speeds up to 100 images-per-minute 
(ipm) at 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution, helping to improve document distribution, communication and archiving.  

Production Printing:  Revolutionizing the World of Digital Printing

From personalized direct mail pieces to the automated book factory, Canon will demonstrate how the Company 
intends to revolutionize digital production printing.  Last year, Canon put its stake in the ground in the color 
production market with the introduction of the imagePRESS C7000VP and imagePRESS C1 digital presses.

The imagePRESS C7000VP, which will begin shipping to customers in June, is currently installed at several 
beta sites, including Micropage, a New York City-based commercial printer, and one of the featured speakers 
at Canon's Digital Solutions Forum.  According to Brian Boyajian, director, Sales and Marketing, Micropage, 
"The color accuracy that we are seeing produced by the imagePRESS is excellent and far superior to previous 
digital presses we have used.  When a gallery or design firm has come in and requested offset, we've shown 
samples run on the imagePRESS and the customer agreed on the quality and asked that we run the job on the 
imagePRESS over offset.  Since March of this year, we have run more than 400 paying jobs on the imagePRESS 
consisting of more than 410,000 impressions."

In addition to its revolutionary production devices, Canon will show a number of hardware and software applications 
and tools as part of a total digital production solution.  Canon's imagePRESS Workflow Solutions Program is a

Canon Introduces New 44-inch imagePROGRAF iPF8000 Large Format Printer for Fine Art and Photography

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of office imaging systems, 
inkjet technology and digital photography equipment, today unveiled the new 12-color imagePROGRAF iPF8000 
pigment ink large format printer. Designed to produce stunning color for professional quality giclee prints and 
photographs, the iPF8000 utilizes Canon's proprietary LUCIA pigment inks to print borderless images up to 
42-inches wide, with a maximum paper width of 44-inches at amazing production speeds with outstanding 
archival image quality. The iPF8000 debuts at SGIA, (Booth #0534) September 26th, in Las Vegas. 


Canon's Graphic Arts line of large format printers now includes the imagePROGRAF iPF5000, iPF8000, and 
iPF9000 printers at 17-, 44-, and 60-inches wide respectively. This expands Canon's large format portfolio which
includes their recently announced Corporate and CAD line of large format print solutions. The new iPF8000 
printer joins its two sister products by offering an extremely wide color gamut with a full 12-color inkset featuring 
LUCIA pigmented inks, along with the L-COA processor to quickly and accurately process high resolution
image data.

With a maximum print resolution of 2400 x 1200 dpi, the new iPF8000 is ideal for color professionals with 
large-format printing needs, such as professional photographers, digital artists, graphic designers, commercial
printers for proofing, print-for-pays, tradeshow exhibit builders, and signage shops. Advanced professional
features such as automatic clogged nozzle detection and compensation for reliability, 330ml and 700ml 
selectable ink capacity sizes for versatility, a large, backlit LCD panel for ease of use, and ink usage tracking for 
accountability are all part of the new iPF8000 to satisfy every color professionals' large format printing needs. 

"With a range of printer sizes and various media options, the iPF line of large format printers allows digital 
imaging professionals to choose the solution that will best render their images in the size, tone, and color that
they desire for optimal viewing and display," said Tod Pike, senior vice president, Imaging Systems Group, 
Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The 44-inch imagePROGRAF iPF8000 printer strategically rounds out our line of 12-color
large format printers."

The iPF8000 printer uses Red, Blue, Green, Gray, Photo Gray, Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta,
Yellow, Regular Black, and Matte Black LUCIA pigment inks. The 12 ink colors enable the iPF8000 printer to 
render magnificent color and neutral, stable grayscales. Like its two sister products, the iPF8000 printer loads 
all 12 ink tanks at once and automatically switches between Regular Black and Matte Black inks, helping to 
eliminate wasted ink and the downtime of swapping out ink tanks. Each printer is shipped with a set of twelve 
330ml LUCIA ink cartridges, and the users have an option to use 700ml large capacity ink cartridges to 
optimize efficiency.

In order to achieve the level of productivity required by print professionals, the iPF8000 is equipped with a 
countless number of time-saving features. The printer loads heavy roll paper from the front, eliminating the need 
to move the printer when changing paper, and the printer is capable of having the ink tank replaced without
the need to stop the carriage, allowing for true uninterrupted operation. Additional features such as job log report 
total ink usage to a tenth of a milliliter and media usage in fractions of square feet to help make managing the 
running cost effortless. A larger LCD panel with instructional illustrations helps guide users through printer 
operation with minimal training.

As the last link in the image processing chain, the L-COA processor intelligently interprets image data, directing
the fast printing process. Combined with Canon's dual print head design and the most ink nozzles per color in
the industry, the L-COA processor helps achieve print speeds of under seven minutes for 33.1" x 46.8" (A0) size 
prints with 1200x1200 dpi resolution on a glossy photo paper. The iPF8000 printer's abundant number of nozzles
and automatic clogged nozzle detection compensates if a nozzle becomes clogged by having other nozzles 
pull double-duty. This not only contributes to the printer's speed and accuracy but also helps reduce 
wear-and-tear on the print heads, increasing the reliability of the printer.

To make the state-of-the-art capability of the hardware even more accessible to users, the new iPF8000 comes 
with Print Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® for Macintosh OS(® and Windows®, a professional-level photo 
printing tool to allow printing of 16-bit RGB files, and PosterArtist (for Windows only), an easy-to-use sign and 
poster creation program, Digital Photo Print Pro (for Windows only), a digital photo correction and layout program. 
The printer driver for Macintosh® and Windows® includes a new feature called "Free Layout", in which the 
users can freely lay out print images from various applications on roll fed paper to maximize media usage. 

The new iPF8000 printer offers digital printing professionals with a wide variety of media substrates ranging from 
fine art and photographic paper and canvas to banner and signage material. The variety of media available for 
the new iPF8000 provides the versatility and flexibility to complete any number of industry applications.

The imagePROGRAF iPF8000 printer will be available through authorized Canon U.S.A. dealers in October 
2006 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $5,995.

an emerging industry standard for collaborative access and management of documents via Web servers.

The new Color imageRUNNER Series, which is available as a "Base" model that can be expanded to fit one's 
particular printing and scanning needs or an "i" model that is configured with standard print and enhanced 
send features for general office environments, leverages Canon's proprietary Multifunctional Embedded 
Application Platform (MEAP®), which enables organizations to tailor their system functions to specific industry 
or business needs with customized applications.

The Color imageRUNNER C5180/C4580/C4080 models are available with a choice of print controllers, 
including an external print server. This print controller configuration flexibility allows the Color imageRUNNER
 Series to deliver optimized technology for virtually every color requirement and market segment. The UFR II/PCL

 The Color imageRUNNER "i" models come standard with UFR II/PCL printing capability.

In addition to color copying and printing, the new Color imageRUNNER Series can be used as a powerful 
central communications hub for sharing and managing information in the office. With powerful Color Universal
Send capabilities standard, the Canon Color imageRUNNER Series enables users to distribute scanned data 
to a variety of destinations including document management systems, such as Canon imageWARE™ Document
 Manager, in one simple step. The Color imageRUNNER Series is also available with enhanced Universal Send

performance, durability and innovation," said Sam Yoshida, director and general manager, Corporate Systems 
Division, Canon U.S.A.  "These devices achieve a new level of performance and empower every user with the 
ability to capture, create and communicate critical information at network speed."

To ensure that users are prepared to tackle almost any printing project, the imageRUNNER 6870U and

Canon and Captaris Sign Development Licensing Agreement

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., December 19, 2005 Canon U.S.A., Inc., and Captaris, Inc., a leading provider of 
Business Information Delivery solutions, today announced an agreement for Captaris to develop an application 
using Canon’s innovative Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform (MEAP) to connect Canon and Captaris 
products.   

In connection with the agreement, Captaris will license Canon’s MEAP software developers kit (SDK) and 
develop Captaris MEAP Client for imageRUNNER for Canon’s award-winning line of multifunctional products 
(MFPs).  This Captaris application, to be licensed to Canon for resale, will act as a gateway between the Canon 
imageRUNNER products and the Captaris suite of Business Information Delivery products. Captaris MEAP 
Client for imageRUNNER will reside on the hard-disk of a Canon networked device.  The application will be 
presented to walk-up users on the full-color LCD control panel of the MEAP-enabled imageRUNNER device, 
transforming the traditional MFP device into a powerful communications hub for sharing, routing and managing 
information and printing across a network. 

The first application to come out of this agreement will give users access to advanced Captaris RightFax 
enterprise fax and document delivery functionality right from the touch panel of the imageRUNNER device. This 
application is expected to be available in mid-2006. Captaris RightFax enables organizations of all sizes to 
securely and reliably deliver documents via fax, e-mail or over the Internet.   

The traditional faxing process utilizing stand-alone fax machines connected to phone lines is time consuming, 
labor intensive and could compromise security and regulatory compliance.  RightFax replaces fax machines 
and automates enterprise faxing, so organizations can leverage their existing IT resources by transferring the 
faxing process to the network, providing the ability to send and receive faxes and secure electronic documents
directly from a personal computer or a Canon imageRUNNER device. 

"In addition to increased efficiency and a richer end-user experience, an embedded RightFax application on 
Canon’s line of imageRUNNER MFPs will allow businesses to gain significant insight into and control of their 
internal processes that incorporate fax," said Sam Yoshida, director and general manager, Product Marketing 
Division, Canon U.S.A.  "This in turn can help facilitate the growing need to develop, regulatory compliance 
programs for various Acts, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, which requires management assessment of internal controls."

"Canon’s MEAP platform provides our development team with the unique opportunity to build value-added 
applications that reside on an imageRUNNER MFP and incorporate a similar experience and functionality that 
our end users currently enjoy through the RightFax client application on their PCs," said Dan Campi, vice 
president of business & corporate development for Captaris.

"Since their introduction earlier this year, the imageRUNNER 6570 and imageRUNNER 5570 devices have 
established a new benchmark for document management and handling in Corporate America," said Sam 
Yoshida, director and general manager, Corporate Systems Division, Canon U.S.A.  "The new imageRUNNER 
5070 joins those models to give corporate customers an additional option to meet their demanding document 
handling and management needs with unmatched system performance and innovation."

Like the imageRUNNER 6570 and imageRUNNER 5570, which recently received Buyers Lab’s Pick-of-the-
Year Award, the new imageRUNNER 5070 incorporates a number of features and functions that clearly 
distinguish it among the most advanced products within its category, and empower users with the ability to 
capture, create, and communicate critical information more efficiently and effectively. Some of the features 
and functions include: 

Enhanced Feature Set 
The imageRUNNER 5070 model features Canon’s third generation of its imagePlatform architecture built 
around a custom processor with a standard complement of 512MB RAM and a 20GB Hard Disk Drive.  This 
design raises the speed and efficiency of data processing, enabling simultaneous multitask processing, and 
advanced document manipulation and storage capabilities. 

Offering advanced digital Copy and Mail Box capabilities and network (TWAIN) scanning as standard features, 
this new model can also be outfitted with optional Super G3 Fax capabilities.  In addition, the imageRUNNER 
5070 supports a host of advanced document distribution capabilities via Canon’s Universal Send option.

New imagePRESS Brand Sets Stage for Canon’s Expansion to Digital Color Press Solutions

NEW YORK September 14, 2005 Canon U.S.A., Inc., the number one overall brand leader in the color 
copier/printer market in the U.S. , today announced the launch of a new digital color printing technology 
brand Canon imagePRESS to meet the digital color requirements of the commercial print and graphic arts 
markets.

The introduction of the imagePRESS brand signifies Canon’s highly anticipated entrance into the high-end, 
high-quality color digital press market. Canon is predicted to revolutionize digital color printing the same way 
the Company’s first Color Laser Copier, the CLC 1, set the standard for color image quality in 1987 and, more 
recently, the way the imageRUNNER line has transformed the adoption of color into the enterprise.  

"Canon’s legacy of innovative color technologies has uniquely positioned us to lead the color market for 18 
consecutive years," said Tod Pike, senior vice president, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.  "As a true 
imaging solutions company, Canon’s business direction is to combine the highest quality color output with 
unmatched media handling capabilities differentiating us from the competition. As the market shifts dramatically 
toward the adoption of digital color the introduction of the imagePRESS brand clearly announces our intention 
to expand our superior value proposition to commercial print and graphic arts customers and further our influence 
within the digital color space."

According to Charlie Corr, group director, InfoTrends/CAP Ventures, "Digital production color devices in the 
60+ ppm class are positioned to become one of the highest growth segments in the market. In 2004, this 
equipment class produced 9.3 billion impressions and is expected to grow 53 percent through 2009, producing 
76.9 billion impressions. Canon’s strong color technology leadership and brand presence across the industry 
ideally position the Company to take advantage of this digital color shift and expand its foot-hold in the 
commercial and graphic arts markets."

The new imagePRESS brand was developed to significantly expand Canon’s presence in the production color 
market, where customers such as creative services companies, advertising agencies, design firms and 
marketing divisions require best-of-class color and image quality.

Mr. Corr added, "It is expected that the equipment, service and supply revenue will grow 34 percent annually 
and the retail value of the pages produced on high-end digital color devices will increase from $3.3 billion in 
2004 to $14 billion in 2009."

"Canon’s imagePRESS strategy represents a market breakthrough a brand developed to create and expand 
commercial opportunities by offering a digital ‘complement’ to existing offset printing systems," added Mr. Pike. 
"This market has evolved to the point where to remain competitive print providers must offer their customers 
shorter run lengths and faster turnaround times at competitive pricing. Canon has consistently been at the 
forefront of digital imaging, and we see Canon’s imagePRESS representing the sort of innovative and flexible 
solutions required to deliver customized, relevant documents. 

"The evolution of the color market calls for new solutions for a new beginning," continued Mr. Pike.  "Canon’s 
imagePRESS technology is the result of one of the most significant Research and Development investments
made by Canon and represents an unparalleled example of advanced digital color imaging technology and
imaging superiority. Just as Canon pioneered the first digital color copier and digital color solutions for the 
enterprise market, we expect imagePRESS will transform the production marketplace, allowing commercial 
and quick printers, as well as in-plant and central reprographic department customers to grow their client base, 

volume and profits."

As the color market evolves, so has the roadmap leading to Canon’s new imagePRESS brand identity. "image"
represents the unifying namesake of Canon’s industry-leading product portfolio, including imageRUNNER®, 
imagePROGRAF and imageCLASS®. Combined with PRESS, the brand highlights Canon’s integrated and 
customizable solutions that continue to revolutionize workflow.  PRESS also underscores the company’s 
commitment to providing the commercial print and graphic arts industries with unrivaled benchmark image 
quality, reliability and productivity. Developed with significant customer input to reinforce the Company’s 
legacy as an imaging technology leader, Canon’s imagePRESS will provide advanced color consistency 
and quality as well as support the custom printing demands of the commercial, quick print and graphic arts 
markets.

Canon will debut the new imagePRESS brand and preview core digital color press technology at an invitation-
only exposition in New York City today through Friday, Sept. 16, 2005.

The first color press technologies under the Canon imagePRESS brand are expected to be available for 
customer delivery the second half of 2006.

Canon Unveils New Color Scanning Solutions

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., March 28, 2005 Canon U.S.A., Inc. today unveiled the next generation of its award-
winning* DR scanner line with the introduction of the new DR-5010C and DR-2580C scanner models providing 
compactly designed, enhanced color workflow solutions with superior speed, high image quality and proven 
reliability. 

Both the DR-5010C and DR-2580C engines are engineered to optimize data-capture, document management 
and archival workflows. The DR-2580C strengthens Canon’s position in the workgroup market segment, while 
the DR-5010C perfectly addresses a variety of production scanning needs for a broad range of vertical 
business applications. 

At 25 pages-per-minute (ppm**), the DR-2580C color document scanner specifically targets the U.S. workgroup 
market, which is expected to grow between 30-40 percent over the next three years the highest rate among 
document management scanner segments. The DR-5010C, which targets production-volume environments, 
scans in both color and black-and-white at a constant rate of 50 ppm, as well as 100 images-per-minute (ipm) 
in duplex scanning at the industry standard of 200 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution. Growth in each segment is a 
result of changing business practices and increasingly complex electronic document distribution, management 
and forms processing requirements. 

"The power of Canon’s high-speed DR-series scanner line goes beyond the benefits of speed, functionality 
and reliability offered by the scanner itself," said Mark Machida, director of Image Filing Systems Division for 
Canon U.S.A., "Combined with bundled software applications, including CapturePerfect 3.0 and Adobe 
Acrobat 7.0, the scanner’s potential becomes truly recognizable as a quick, efficient and easy-to-use 
document capture and management solution. 

"Since entering the Departmental segment of the document scanner market in 1996 with the DR-3020, Canon 
has greatly expanded its product line to address all applications and environments ranging from the workgroup 
to production environments," added Machida. "With the introduction of the new DR-5010C and DR-2580C 
scanners, we expect to significantly strengthen Canon’s position in the low- and mid-volume environments, and
more aggressively challenge our competitors across all categories."

Both the DR-5010C and DR-2580C scanners inherit the latest features and proven reliability of Canon’s 
popular DR line of products, while additionally incorporating a variety of new capabilities, including: 

- ID card scanning using Straight Path feed capabilities

spaces. Proof that size can be deceiving, the DR-5010C is a fast and flexible machine, achieving speeds up
 to 120 ipm in landscape mode and capable of scanning documents up to 11"x17". Revolutionary new 
functionalities built into the DR-5010C include: 
- Three-Line Sensor technology for high-speed/quality color scanning 
- Hi-Speed Text Enhancement scanning 
- Custom Color Dropout/Enhancement 

The new DR-5010C comes bundled with an enhanced version of CapturePerfect, Canon’s out-of-box office-
scanning tool to better support software functionality. CapturePerfect maximizes document scanning, viewing, 
saving, distributing and printing capabilities, and is an ISIS-compliant application compatible with all the 
features and functionalities offered by the DR-5010C.  CapturePerfect enables a number of image file editing 
and viewing functions, searchable and encrypted PDF file format support, as well as convenient ways to scan
documents for different business imaging needs such as: scan page; scan batch-to-file, printer- or mail-; scan-
to-presentation and scan job. 

DR-2580C 
Extremely compact to the point of being portable the DR-2580C supports documents up to 11"x14". The 
DR-2580C is positioned for the Workgroup segment, joining Canon’s award-winning DR-2080C. Featuring a 
Straight Path feeding system, the new DR-2580C is capable of scanning a wide range of the documents, 
including thick documents, plastic cards, and driver’s license. For additional document handling flexibility, 
Canon has designed an optional flatbed, available as an option for scanning bound documents as well as 
thicker or thinner documents.

Similar to the DR-5010C, Canon U.S.A. has bundled the DR-2580C with the latest versions of CapturePerfect 
and Adobe Acrobat software.
