Canon USA has bagged two 2026 PRINTING United Alliance Pinnacle Awards—one in the OUTPUT category for the imagePROGRAF GP-2600S large-format printer and another in the TECHNOLOGY category for the varioPRESS iV7 B2+ sheetfed inkjet press.
Canon’s imagePROGRAF GP-2600S large-format printer helps print service providers to produce vibrant, colour-accurate graphics for applications ranging from retail signage and photography to fine art and point-of-sale displays. Equipped with Canon’s LUCIA PRO II pigment ink system, the GP-2600S delivers an expanded colour gamut, strong image durability, and consistent print quality, enabling customers to meet demanding colour expectations while maintaining production efficiency.
Canon varioPRESS iV7 B2 sheetfed inkjet press is recognised as a pioneering technology which is enhancing the productivity and versatility of sheetfed inkjet in commercial print environments. Designed to efficiently produce short-run jobs with superior offset-quality output on a wide range of media, including B2+ (up to 750 x 614 mm and 24.8 x 13.9 inches) sheet sizes, the press enables customers to confidently address evolving market demands and unlock new business opportunities.
Jennifer Kolloczek, Senior Director, Marketing & Innovation, Production Print at Canon EMEA comments, “Innovation at Canon is driven by sustained investment in R&D, a clear understanding of evolving customer needs and a disciplined approach to product development.
