Canon, Heidelberg announce global co-operation in sheetfed inkjet printing

Canon Production Printing Holding B.V. and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG), announced a global sales and service co-operation in inkjet printing. HEIDELBERG will expand its technology portfolio by introducing its own inkjet product family based on the newly announced Canon B2 sheetfed inkjet press and the well-established B3 sheetfed inkjet press. Both presses will be integrated into the HEIDELBERG Prinect workflow; Service and Saphira Ink will be delivered through HEIDELBERG.

More than 650 Canon B3 sheetfed inkjet presses have been successfully adopted by customers worldwide, giving them increased flexibility and agility to produce a broad spectrum of shorter-run work efficiently and profitably. Building on this track record, the new Canon B2 sheetfed press promises ideal levels of digital productivity, quality and media versatility for industrial customers when it becomes available.
