Canon's Imagepress C1 has been coupled with the X-Rite i1 Process Control system to create what Canon claims to be the most versatile colour technology in its class on the market today. Canon claims this to be the first colour management system to be integrated in this class of machine, which illustrates Canon's confidence in the capability of the print engine.
"The system now allows users to provide proofs to Fogra 27 and 39 standards, as well as accurate Pantone spot colours," said Canon UK's, professional solutions marketing manager, Nikki Richardson.
"The Imagepress C1 illustrates perfectly Canon's commitment to the graphic arts market by teaming-up with best-in-class partners to provide complete systems that deliver exceptional performance.
"The combination of a high-quality and extremely stable print engine, Imagepress Server Q1 and an unique, integrated colour management system, makes the Imagepress C1 peerless in terms of its versatility, which is proven by the variety of companies that have already invested in the system.' The i1-Process Control software, developed specifically for the Imagepress C1 ensures complete harmony between the print engine and colour tools," said Richardson.
Included in the system is Fogra Media Wedge CMYK, which allows users to verify their output against the ISO 12647-2 international standard.
Canon has also included a library of Pantone EC colours, developed specifically for CMYK digital print devices, within the Imagepress C1's i1-Process Control.
X-Rite vice president of imaging and media, Iris Mangelschots, commented: 'We are delighted to be in partnership with Canon and involved with the flagship Imagepress brand, which has created a lot of excitement in the industry since it was launched.
