Productivity and flexibility for high-speed color production
The ColorStream 6000 Series color inkjet system prints at 417 feet per minute with a print width of 21.25″. That translates to 909 letter images per minute for a single unit or 1818 letter images per minute for a twin configuration with average volumes up to 12 million letter images per month on a single system or up to 59 million letter images per month on a twin system, all at 600 x 600 dpi resolution. With optional multilevel dot modulation, crisp details and smooth halftones can be produced at full rated speed.

Smart innovations for smart communication in color
Offer your customers vivid colors and sharpest details with DigiDot® Multilevel technology; make it even better with the new advanced print head calibration and the unique Canon PreFire refresh technology. That means that you are now offering either higher quality – even on lighter papers – or your existing quality at the cost advantage of less expensive papers.

Several smart features of the ColorStream 6000 Series color inkjet press enable a fast switch between long monochrome runs and full-color prints. The twin concept allows an easy entry into the world of inkjet printing by starting with a simplex mono version. The datacenter infrastructure fit regarding size, weight and power supply as well as a seamless integration into existing environments with regards to workflow and finishing makes it easy to replace older toner-based continuous feed printing systems with the new ColorStream 6000, thus accelerating the transition to color.

For customers with monochrome applications, the new “Fast Black” option also higher printing speed by applying the optional double head black configuration. This feature will allow higher printing speeds up to 492 ft/m (150 m/min) increasing productivity up to 65 million letter pages per month in monochrome.

Low risk innovation
The ColorStream 6000 Series inkjet printing systems build on the best of ’s continuous feed technologies including the DigiDot piezoelectric drop-on-demand technology, industry’s fastest inkjet print heads to produce stunning color at top speeds, SRA MP controller power and the flexibility of VarioStream I, L and H-shape twin configurations. Together with the service power and the investment protection and upgradability approach this ensures you a low risk innovation.
