Canon imagePRESS V1350 Introduction Video
Introduce yourself to the rigorous design and visionary technology behind the Canon imagePRESS V1350 color digital press. Engineered to produce vibrant images on a wide range of media at fast speeds, it features automated processing and quality control to consistently deliver high productivity even on complex jobs.
Built for Productivity: Introducing the Canon imagePRESS V1350
In the high-volume production print market, the demands for speed, reliability, and precision are unrelenting. Print service providers need a press that doesn't just keep up with their workload but helps them scale their business to new heights. Enter the Canon imagePRESS V1350. This digital color press is the flagship of the imagePRESS V Family, engineered to provide Brilliant Vision, Inside and Out. By combining industrial-grade durability with advanced automation, the imagePRESS V1350 represents a new frontier in high-volume digital printing.
The Challenge: Managing the Heavyweight Production Cycle
High-volume print shops often face a specific set of challenges when handling large, complex jobs:
Maintaining Speed on Heavy Media: Many digital presses lose significant productivity when switching from standard office paper to heavy cardstock or textured media.
Long-Term Reliability: Continuous operation can lead to mechanical strain, requiring frequent maintenance and causing unpredictable downtime.
Front-to-Back Alignment: Ensuring that the images on both sides of a sheet line up perfectly is critical for high-end applications like booklets and catalogs.
Color Drifting: Maintaining consistent color throughout a run of thousands of sheets often requires manual operator intervention.
The imagePRESS V1350 was designed to help eliminate these bottlenecks through a vigorous approach to engineering.
The Solution: Industrial Engineering and Automation
The imagePRESS V1350 is more than just a fast printer; it is a robust production engine designed for remarkable stability and throughput.
Robust Output and Solid Stability
The imagePRESS V1350 is built on a rigid steel frame that helps support high reliability even during around-the-clock operations. This heavy-duty construction extends to the reinforced developer casings, which are designed to help maintain image quality at maximum production speeds.Remarkable Speed: 135 PPM
The imagePRESS V1350 is a powerhouse of productivity, delivering speeds of up to 135 Pages Per Minute (Letter). Unlike many other presses, it can maintain this full speed on media up to 170 lb. Cover (400 gsm). This allows shops to produce high-end covers, postcards, and marketing materials without the usual "heavy-media" speed penalty.Precision Registration and Air Separation
To ensure versatile handling of every substrate, the imagePRESS V1350 utilizes Vacuum Feed Technology with Air Separation. This helps to prevent double-feeds and jams even on static-heavy or coated stocks. Furthermore, Active Registration Technology uses an internal side plate and timing sensors to help ensure tight and consistent alignment across every sheet.Real-Time Quality Control: Multi D.A.T. and ILS
Quality assurance is automated through the Multi D.A.T. system, which automatically measures density patches between sheets to help prevent color drifting. For professional-grade color accuracy, the press features Inline Spectrophotometers (ILS) that automate routine tasks like press linearization and media profiling with no operator involvement.
The Benefits: Vibrant, Viable, and Vigorous
The implementation of the imagePRESS V1350 provides immediate advantages for high-volume print facilities:
- Massive Volume Capacity: The V1350 is designed for a target monthly volume of up to 1.2 million impressions, representing a nearly three times increase over previous mid-range models.
- Consistency at Scale: Automated adjustments mean that the 1,000th sheet looks identical to the first, helping to increase customer satisfaction and reduce spoilage.
- Flexible Finishing: With support for a wide range of inline finishing options—from professional punch units to high-capacity stackers—the imagePRESS V1350 can help deliver finished products fast.
- Optimized Workflow: Whether powered by the PRISMAsync Print Server or a Fiery-powered imagePRESS Server, the imagePRESS V1350 integrates seamlessly into existing digital workflows.
A New Standard for Performance
The imagePRESS V1350 is the ultimate tool for print service providers who demand the highest levels of productivity and quality. By combining a "Vigilant" inspection process with a vibrant output, Canon has created a press that truly redefines what is possible in digital color production. For shops looking to take the lead in high-volume commercial print, the imagePRESS V1350 provides the solid foundation needed for future growth.
