Make Stunning Applications

Thanks to the iQuariusiX innovations, the varioPRINT iX-series print quality rivals any other established print technology. It prints coated and uncoated media up to 350 gsm, with consistently high quality.

Service Innovation

For the Highest Uptime and Machine Availability

Proactive service of the varioPRINT iX-series sheetfed inkjet press is a data-driven service concept, using sophisticated data analysis to increase the uptime of each press. It significantly reduces service visits and allows proactively scheduled visits at the most convenient time.

Usage and Condition-Based Maintenance

The printer indicates how many prints have been made since the last service moment, and data analysis algorithms detect whether one of the device’s subsystems are showing signs of wear. So Canon Service can schedule the next appointment at the most convenient time for the user, in advance, thus keeping the engine running when you need it the most.

Better Corrective Maintenance

If a part should ever break, Remote Diagnostic Systems increase the efficiency of service visits. The machine data helps Canon technicians prepare before they visit, so they have all the right parts and cleaning agents at hand. Canon recognizes time is money and we strive to keep you running so you can provide your customers with the SLA they need.

Features

With the varioPRINT iX-series press, Canon launches iQuariusiX, the next generation of this proven technology.

iQuariusiX technology takes the guesswork out of the science that enables ink and paper to work together. It makes it possible to handle a wide range of media and to print at incredibly high speeds while retaining razor-sharp details, outstanding color, and a perfectly flat finish.

iQuariusiX is based on four technology innovations:

  • Quality control: For consistent quality on all applications
  • Ink innovation: For superior quality on a wide range of media
  • Drying technology: For a robust end result, ready for post-processing
  • Media transport: For reliable and accurate, non-stop operations and handling of all media
