Canon’s new ColorStream 7000 series is a new web-fed press family designed for print service providers seeking a reliable, future-ready platform for mid‑range production.
The new series launch comes as the ColorStream platform reaches its 15-year anniversary and surpasses 2,000 presses installed worldwide, as verified in Keypoint’s Quarterly Tracker 2025.
Developed for demanding daily production environments, the ColorStream 7000 series includes three models – the ColorStream 7075, 7100 and 7127 – offering production speeds from 48 to 127 metres per minute and monthly volumes of up to 56 million A4 impressions.
Available in both mono and full‑colour configurations, customers can select a system that fits current requirements to deliver stable output and operational efficiency, and to scale with the platform over time.
Duncan Smith, Country Director, Production at Canon UK & Ireland, says:
“In the mid-range production volume segment, customers are not looking for promises – they are looking for proven performance they can build a business on. That is where the ColorStream 7000 series stands apart. It brings together the trusted quality and reliability of the ColorStream platform with the service, workflow integration and flexibility print service providers need to compete with confidence.”
Renowned ColorStream quality and reliability
Built on Canon’s latest web-fed inkjet architecture, the ColorStream 7000 series features native 600 dpi printheads and highly pigmented, water-based inks with Canon DigiDot multi-level inkjet technology, delivering smooth tones and rich density that achieve perceived 1200 dpi print quality on standard offset uncoated, recycled and inkjet‑treated papers.
Production confidence is reinforced through a water-cooled printhead design that stabilises ink temperature during long production runs, while Canon’s pre-fire technology maintains nozzle performance by keeping ink circulating inside the ink chamber. In addition, Canon’s professional colour management helps ensure consistent colour reproduction within and across print jobs – a critical requirement for regulated and repeat business applications.
Integrated workflow and operational efficiency
The ColorStream 7000 series integrates seamlessly into Canon’s PRISMA workflow ecosystem, with optional support for PRISMAproduction and PRISMAlytics Dashboard, an easy-to-use, cloud-based management information tool that provides multiple, comprehensive data overviews, enabling customers to optimise productivity.
Practical production features, such as waste‑free print pause, inspection mode and controlled print‑in‑ramps, help operators check and adjust jobs without unnecessary paper loss, while inline automation functions enable efficient communication with finishing equipment to support continuous production.
A modern, serviceable platform designed to evolve
A network of sensors continuously tracks the press status, helping to control the entire printing process and to deliver high-quality output results, while an intuitive touchscreen user interface provides operators with clear access to both production controls and online support.
The series includes Canon’s latest SRA Massive Parallel controller, delivering improved RIP performance compared with previous models. The controller’s scalable architecture allows customers to upgrade performance or transition from monochrome to colour printing as business demands change, protecting their investment over time.
Built with sustainability considerations
Sustainability has been considered throughout the design of the ColorStream 7000 series, which uses low power in both production and idle modes. The presses also feature an efficient contact drying system, which, combined with precise paper handling and ink control, supports reliable output on uncoated, inkjet‑treated and recycled papers, and minimises energy use.
The press series supports customers seeking to meet recognised environmental standards, including Nordic Swan Ecolabel and Blue Angel 195 requirements, helping print service providers to align production operations with wider sustainability goals.
The ColorStream 7000 series is available immediately in the EMEA region directly from Canon.
