Canon U.S.A. Names 2000th imagePRESS
C7010 Series Digital Press Customer

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today announced that the 2000th unit of its imagePRESS C7010 series digital production press has been purchased by One Step printers of Davenport, Iowa from Canon Authorized dealer RK Dixon, also of Davenport.

A Canon imagePRESS customer since March 2008, One Step focuses on delivering high-quality digital output and services including custom short-run; web-to-print; and high-margin, hybrid workflows combining offset and digital runs to customers in the Quad Cities metropolitan area. As demand for their digital services has grown, the company worked with the production experts at RK Dixon to expand their digital press fleet through the addition of a new Canon imagePRESS C7010VP.

“Reflecting on the incredible sales of the Canon imagePRESS C7010 series of digital presses, Canon is proud to mark the sale of the 2000th imagePRESS digital press,” said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “This milestone demonstrates how the company’s largest investment in R&D and three years of customer-centric feedback has created a digital production solution that is helping customers transform their businesses.”

Starting as a digital-only print shop in 1995, One Step leveraged Canon’s renowned image quality and the extraordinary durability of the imagePRESS platform to approach larger customers seeking high-volume production runs that demand uniform quality and timeliness to expand their business.

“When One Step sought to grow our digital print service portfolio, we felt that the Canon imagePRESS was the first true digital press on the market capable of delivering the offset-like quality and reliability that we required,” said Doug May, co-owner of One Step. “As we open a new 35,000 square foot print facility, we are thrilled to be recognized by Canon for adding the 2000th Canon imagePRESS C7010 digital press to our fleet of Canon digital imaging products and look forward to working with them, and our friends at RK Dixon in the future.”

“For many customers, the ability of the Canon imagePRESS C7010VP series to handle larger sheet sizes and heavier stocks while delivering consistent output speed and maximized uptime gives them the confidence to go after bigger, more complex pieces of business,” said Bryan Dixon, president and CEO of RK Dixon. Once RK Dixon understands our customer’s process, we provide them with the hardware, service and software solutions that they need to be successful and we are proud to offer Canon products to our customers like One Step.

The Canon imagePRESS C7010 series is available for customer delivery through Canon Authorized Dealers, Canon Business Solutions and Océ North America. For more information please visit www.usa.canon.com.
