Canon Leads Continuous-feed Inkjet Market

With just 10 days to go before the third annual Inkjet Summit begins, InfoTrends has named Canon Solutions America the worldwide continuous-feed inkjet market share leader. InfoTrends' report, published last month, ranks Canon No. 1 in both national and worldwide continuous-feed inkjet market share figures.

“It’s no secret that production inkjet technology has taken the industry by storm over the last two years,” said Francis A. McMahon, vice president, Marketing, Production Print Solutions division of Canon Solutions America. “By listening to our customers and developing with the market as it grew, we were able to meet the evolving needs of the industry and provide cutting-edge technologies that will help businesses of all sizes experience enhanced productivity and increased automation.”

Viewed as the future of the industry, inkjet technology is more prevalent than ever, and is set to expand its reach with the introduction of new products and innovations. As the company’s sole provider of continuous-feed products, Canon Solutions America is at the forefront of the movement with steadfast commitment to customer outreach programs, marketing strategy enhancements, and providing extensive industry resources, like the“Designer’s Guide to Inkjet.”

“Canon and Canon Solutions America have leveraged the potential of inkjet and understand where it’s going not only in continuous-feed, but also in cutsheet,” noted Jim Hamilton, group director at InfoTrends. “Canon Solutions America’s innovation helps its customers as they implement white-paper-in/full-color-out workflows, just-in-time manufacturing, and fully customized document creation in ways that were never fully feasible before.”

Additionally, Canon Solutions America has gained market share due in part to its increased offerings to commercial printing accounts. The company is committed to building on this success with the launch of the Océ ImageStream 3500 and the Océ ColorStream Twin Series inkjet printer and their unique applications for commercial printers. Canon Solutions America is confident that with future offerings such as the innovative Océ VarioPrint i300 cutsheet inkjet press, Canon’s lead in the inkjet market will continue to strengthen.

“Canon Solutions America has helped us expand our capabilities to a wide range of markets, including commercial print,” relayed Chris Illman, president, OneTouchPoint. “Our business continues to achieve success through the innovative technologies and devices that Canon Solutions America provides.”
