The Canon Océ InfiniStream
Canon has cancelled the Océ Infinistream packaging press project, but is continuing to develop its liquid toner technology.
An update to Canon’s liquid toner technology has been announced in the run up to drupa, four years after the technology was first unveiled. Meanwhile development of the Océ InfiniStream, a web press for packaging applications which was to be the first product to use the technology, has been halted and the product will not be commercialised. However, the company said that it remained committed to further developing the technology and to introducing products based on it at a future, unspecified time.
‘We faced a number of issues over the last few years with the Océ InfiniStream and were unable to meet the requirements of the packaging market with this product,’ said Peter Wolff, head of commercial print group, Canon Europe.
