Canon Launches
Océ
LabelStream 4000
5-Color UV Inkjet and
Flexo Hybrid Press
Canon is not just entering the label and packaging press market, but
challenging the current label press market with the new Océ LabelStream
4000, a 5-color inkjet hybrid UV press that continues to show their
strengths in production inkjet.
Océ LabelStream 4000
As the global market leader in production
inkjet, with over 1500 continuous web fed
installations, we expected to see Canon entering
the label and packaging market before
long. That time has come with the introduction
of the Océ LabelStream 4000 series, the
first production inkjet device in this new
market for Canon. Since it is the first, they
wanted it to be more than a productive press
but also a statement of their intent. In looking
at the technologies used and the performance
design they seem to be on target.
The Océ LabelStream 4000 is a UV inkjet
hybrid press that highlights their inkjet expertise
with what they are calling their “Inkjet
DNA”. To enable them to jump start the
development, and take advantage of significant
expertise in this new area, Océ selected
two strong partners in the development of
this new press: Edale Ltd. for the transport
and FFEI for the imaging engine.
