From business cards to billboards for outdoor advertising, the print shop offers a comprehensive range of print applications under one roof. In its digital printing segment, the Canon imagePRESS V700 has been playing a pivotal role over the past year.
Explaining why Canon imagePRESS V700 (iPR V700) was chosen over competing machines. Dilbar Hasan, proprietor of Freedom Enterprise, said Canon was the first brand that came to mind when the print shop began looking for a capable digital production press.
“We know the advancements and capabilities of Canon technology in short-run digital printing through our prior experience with the brand. There was no doubt that the quality and flexibility of digital printing at our print shop would reach another level with the arrival of the iPR V700. This compact Canon digital color production press was installed at our facility in December last year,” he said.
Freedom Enterprise is a one-stop destination for graphic printing and related solutions, attracting customers from diverse sectors, businesses, and walks of life. Its current production setup comprises an array of machines featuring different formats and technologies, including digital large-format solvent and eco-solvent printers, a laser engraver, a shape-cutting machine, a laminator, and the Canon iPR V700, which serves as the vanguard of its commercial digital printing operations.
“Commercial digital printing has been gaining ground in the market, driven by increasing demand for short-run graphic prints and finished products featuring vivid colours and tactile textures,” said Hasan.
“Personalised prints and bespoke end-products are what our customers really demand these days. In this respect, the iPR V700 is our chosen machine, fulfilling the diverse requirements of our customers for digitally printed commercial graphics and end-products. We are truly impressed by the advanced features and capabilities of this Canon digital colour production press,” he said.
Compact yet capable, the iPR V700 operates at a production speed of 70 pages per minute (ppm). Beyond speed, the press offers considerable media versatility, accommodating a variety of media sizes and lengths, including SRA3, A3, and A4, as well as long sheets measuring up to 1,300 mm. It also supports covers, envelopes, and many other media types. The machine confidently handles both lightweight and heavyweight stocks, ranging from 52 gsm up to 350 gsm, delivering high-quality graphic prints the industry’s leading resolution of 2,400 × 2,400 dpi.
