Canon India, a leading digital imaging solutions company, has announced the launch of imagePRESS V770, a next-generation color production printer designed for print-for-pay providers and production jobbers.
According to the company, the press is specifically built for India’s growing print economy and engineered to address the evolving demands of customers seeking high output quality, versatile media handling, and enhanced operational efficiency within compact production environments in India.
The system enables stable paper feeding even in limited spaces with minimal configuration, allowing print providers to maximize productivity without expanding operational footprint. As print service providers across India continue to manage diverse, short-run jobs with quick turnaround expectations, the imagePRESS V770 supports a wide range of applications, ranging from marketing collaterals and menus to labels and synthetic media, enabling them to expand their offerings while maintaining consistency and efficiency.
The machine delivers print speeds of up to 81 pages per minute (ppm) on plain and thick media ranging from 52gsm to 220gsm, and 77 ppm on coated media between 70gsm and 180gsm. The printer also supports media printing up to 350gsm on uncoated and coated surfaces, along with textures and synthetics.
This balance of speed, media versatility, and dependable performance makes it well-suited for commercial print businesses handling high-mix, short-run jobs, helping improve turnaround times without compromising output consistency.
Toshiaki Nomura, president & CEO, Canon India, said, “Across India’s print industry, we are seeing a clear shift in customer expectations towards shorter runs, faster turnaround, greater flexibility, and consistent quality across a wider range of applications. The imagePRESS V770 has been developed with these requirements at its core, as part of our ‘Made for India’ approach, bringing global engineering with local insight to build solutions closely aligned with market needs. It helps print businesses take on high-mix work confidently, without trading off speed, consistency, or footprint. With the V770, we are reinforcing our commitment to enabling the next phase of growth for India’s print entrepreneurs and production print providers.”
Puneet Datta, senior director, commercial & industrial printing, Canon India, said, “The imagePRESS V770 has been developed with a clear understanding of what India’s jobbers and print-for-pay providers need most: reliable production, media flexibility, and consistent color—job after job. With up to 77 ppm on coated media and innovations like the integrated air-assist tray for continuous coated paper feeding, the V770 is designed to keep jobs moving with fewer interruptions.
“Its compact design and stable paper handling make it well-suited for space-constrained environments. A major step forward is bringing Canon’s proven PRISMAsync workflow directly into the press, so scheduling, color control and production management are simpler and more predictable. Combined with enhanced color reproduction and improved durability across applications, the V770 enables providers to expand into more applications, with confidence,” Datta said.
Enhanced media handling
A key differentiator of the imagePRESS V770 is its newly engineered air-assisted stack bypass, designed to deliver stable and reliable feeding of coated media with a capacity of up to 250 sheets
This advanced feeding mechanism enables continuous handling of coated stocks, which is an area where many competitive devices face limitations, allowing print providers to maintain productivity without compromising on media choice. The improvement reduces operator intervention, improves overall uptime, and minimizes paper jams, directly supporting print service providers who depend on efficient short-run production.
Canon has introduced several image quality refinements to elevate output consistency and visual impact. New color profiles optimized for more vivid representation of reds and blues that has been popular in the Indian market. Improved scratch resistance on label and synthetic media is achieved through a scratch-resistant mode. A new 200-line screen option is designed to produce smoother gradations and reduce moiré patterns.
These enhancements strengthen the V770’s ability to meet the quality expectations of commercial print buyers across retail, hospitality, education, and marketing sectors.
Canon’s built-In Prisma workflow
Canon introduced its built-in Prisma workflow solution – the Prismasync LITE, an integrated platform that unifies production control and workflow management within a single, intuitive interface. Designed for print environments where space efficiency, streamlined operations, and ease of use are essential, this embedded solution eliminates the need for additional external controllers.
By seamlessly integrating job scheduling, color management, and device monitoring, the Prisma workflow solution enhances production predictability while reducing operator touchpoints. This enables print service providers to simplify operations, shorten learning curves, and maintain consistent output quality, supporting more efficient and scalable production workflows.
Canon says that with the launch of the imagePRESS V770, it reinforces its production printing portfolio while bridging the gap between entry-level production devices and high-end digital presses.
