Customer demonstrations at Canon’s Customer Experience Centre in Venlo, The Netherlands, is available from January 2026.
Designed for efficient short run B2 production, the varioPRESS iV7 has been created to address the increasing pressures of commercial print service providers, online printers, and book and magazine producers. Its production capabilities will enable these print businesses to meet tighter deadlines and produce shorter runs as well as more premium applications.
In addition to the varioPRESS iV7, Canon has also confirmed that its latest B3 inkjet platform, the varioPRINT iX1700 sheetfed press, will be available from Q2 2026. With speeds of up to 170 A4 images per minute, or 73 B3 images per minute, the new press will efficiently produce average monthly volumes from 300,000 to 2 million A4 images.
The varioPRINT iX1700 inkjet platform features Canon’s new Qualinx technology.
Canon’s two new inkjet presses join the varioPRINT iX3200/2100 to create an unsurpassed portfolio of sheetfed toner and inkjet presses that serves PSPs of every size and delivers a vast range of print products for monthly volumes from as low as 15,000 A4 images all the way up to 4.5 million B2 images.

“With the introduction of the varioPRESS iV7 and varioPRINT iX1700, we can now offer customers the broadest range of digital sheetfed presses in the industry. This combined with our established dominance in web-fed production reinforces our position as a leader within the digital production print market. This… means commercial and in-house printers can feel confident that, whatever their needs, Canon can provide the right solution for any volume requirement. Over the last decade, hundreds of commercial printers have grown their businesses with us and, as we move into 2026 with the availability of these two presses, we’re looking forward to partnering with even more print businesses to help transform and grow their digital print offering.”
