The Canon varioPRESS iV7 is especially compelling for offset printers because it offers a way to digitise short-run and just-in-time jobs without compromising quality, speed, or media flexibility – three pillars of traditional offset.
The varioPRESS iV7 offers offset-level productivity as it prints up to 8,700 B2 4/0 sheets per hour. At this speed, the digital inkjet press rivals sheetfed offset for many commercial applications, making it viable for high-volume environments.
Next to this, the varioPRESS iV7 can produce quality that matches high quality offset.
With 1200 dpi piezo printheads, water-based polymer pigment inks, and Canon’s ColorGrip conditioning, the iV7 delivers vibrant colours, sharp detail, and smooth gradients – qualities offset printers expect. Thin ink layers preserve the surface feel of uncoated, coated, and even textured substrates – delivering the tactile quality and visual appeal expected from offset printing.
Its B2+ format supports sheet sizes up to 750 × 614 mm and prints on media ranging from 60 gsm to 450 gsm, including selected paper boards. This versatility allows offset printers to produce a variety of applications such as collaterals, catalogs, books and postcards on a single press. With more room for imposition and ganging per sheet, they can maximise efficiency, reduce waste, and streamline short-run production.
Workflow integration is seamless. The varioPRESS iV7 is designed to move shorter offset runs to digital with minimal disruption. It maintains image quality automatically, reduces setup time and limits manual adjustments. The press fits into a wide range of production environments, offering the flexibility to work with your preferred workflow. And with Canon’s experienced specialists by your side, integration is guided by practical expertise to help you get up and running quickly, efficiently, and with confidence.
Sustainability is another key advantage. The iV7 reduces the CO2 footprint as offset printers can reduce overproduction and inventory waste by switching to on-demand digital printing, while still maintaining high throughput and quality.
In short, the varioPRESS iV7 helps offset printers expand their capabilities especially for the increased short-run production, potentially reduce cost s, and stay competitive in a market that increasingly demands flexibility and speed. -
The varioPRESS iV7 uses a water-based polymer pigment ink which combines high image quality, lasting durability, media versatility, and sustainability – making it a powerful choice for commercial printing. The ink delivers vivid colours and sharp detail through highly saturated pigments for consistency across coated and textured substrates.
The varioPRESS iV7 also uses ColorGrip conditioning liquid which is applied to the surface of the paper before printing. It prepares the media so pigment particles can bond quickly and evenly, without affecting the paper’s texture. This means you can print on a wide range of substrates – including offset coated and uncoated stocks – while maintaining vivid colour, sharp detail, and the tactile feel of the original sheet.
Developed and manufactured entirely in-house, the ink is precisely tuned to Canon’s varioPRESS iV7’s printheads and drying and fixation technology for consistent performance and responsive innovation. It’s also deinkable, allowing for better recyclability and supporting more sustainable on-demand printing. -
The varioPRESS iV7 was developed with OEE in mind – emphasising availability, performance, and quality. Automation and advanced diagnostics reduce downtime. With speeds up to 8,700 4/0 B2 sheets per hour and robust media handling, it delivers high productivity even for very short runs. Intelligent control systems and Canon’s proprietary printheads ensure consistently high-quality output across every job.
