Paper Options for Continuous-feed Inkjet
The Canon Océ JetStream and ColorStream presses produce excellent results with Mitsubishi SWORD iJET and Glatfelter coated inkjet papers, and have had some success with NewPage TrueJet. The strength has been with transactional print and transactional direct mail (TDM).
"2012 was a banner year, and Canon Océ was the 2012 leader in placements of continuous-feed color inkjet presses in Western Europe and U.S. with a 41 percent share," notes Kris Albee, marketing director of Canon's Production Print Solutions division. She adds that as paper and ink have matured, future growth will be in higher-end direct mail and commercial print.
