Canon enhances imagePRESS V1000 capabilities for increased productivity and flexibility - Middle East Business News and Information
The imagePRESS V1000 now comes with a new, larger operating panel for the PRISMAsync print server, making the system more user-friendly and efficient to operate. The 533mm/21-inch panel enhances visibility of workflow and printer functions, providing a more intuitive interface where operators can check all information in one screen, including media loaded in paper decks. Allowing operators and users to be more self-reliant and reducing the need for service visits for routine maintenance issues, Canon also continues to support cloud-based e-maintenance on the imagePRESS V series. Beneficial to all customers, this feature is particularly valuable for customers in remote locations, further enhancing productivity, uptime, and overall value for money.
Quality and sustainability leadership
The imagePRESS V1000 continues to meet high standards for both quality and sustainability. Its FOGRA 51 certification confirms its ability to deliver exceptional print quality and it does so without compromising on productivity – a balance that is typically difficult to achieve on toner presses. The V1000 produces output with a colour gamut that meets the FOGRA 51 standard without additional colour stations.
In line with Canon's goal of reducing its environmental impact, the imagePRESS V1000 has also received INGEDE certification for 'good' deinkability, the highest category awarded by the non-profit association, which is committed to maintaining and improving the recyclability of graphic print products. This certification confirms that output from the imagePRESS V1000 can be efficiently recycled, supporting circular economy principles.
Proven reliability:
The reliable performance of the imagePRESS V1000 is evidenced by customers like UWV, the public organisation in the Netherlands responsible for implementing employee insurance schemes and providing social security services. Operating a dedicated, in-house print centre to manage all its outgoing customer communications, UWV prints an average of 2.5 million A4 pages each month on five identically configured V1000 presses, enabling UWV to handle a daily volume of 144,000 impressions within a 5-6 hour production window.

Canon makes its EOS VR SYSTEM compatible with 'Apple Projected Media Profile' and 'spatial photo' in an aim to expand the 3D VR market and strengthens collaboration with Apple
London, UK, July 2025 – Canon Inc. announced that two of its RF lenses for 3D VR video — the RF5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE (released in December 2021) and the RF-S3.9mm F3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE (released in June 2024) — will offer compatibility with 'Apple Projected Media Profile' (hereafter 'APMP'), a QuickTime movie profile that will be supported by the Apple Vision Pro spatial computer developed by Apple Inc. (hereafter 'Apple')*. Canon has also announced that it will make its RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL lens (released in November 2024) compatible with 'spatial photo,' and that it will help to further expand the 3D VR market through collaboration with Apple going forward. Canon launched the EOS VR System for capturing VR video in 2021, and since then has met the needs for VR video production in diverse fields including entertainment, tourism, and education. In June 2024, the company announced the RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL, a lens capable of recording 'spatial video,' which is a type of 3D footage with a sense of depth, for the Apple Vision Pro. Through these developments, Canon has been helping to expand the range of expression available in 3D VR. At the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), hosted by Apple on June 9, 2025, Apple announced visionOS 26, the newest OS for the Apple Vision Pro. In conjunction with this announcement, two of Canon's RF lenses for 3D VR video, RF5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE and RF-S3.9mm F3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE, will offer native playback of 'APMP,' which will be supported by visionOS 26, scheduled to be released in the latter half of 2025. Specifically, footage shot with these lenses and compatible cameras** can be converted to 'APMP' using the EOS VR Utility *** app, making it even easier for users to enjoy a high-quality, immersive experience with the Apple Vision Pro. By updating EOS VR Utility, the RF-S7.8 mm F4 STM DUAL will also be able to handle not only 'spatial video' but also 'spatial photo,' which is a 3D image that allows users to enjoy a sense of depth as a still image, when combined with Canon's mirrorless camera models EOS R7 (released in June 2022) and EOS R50 V (released in May 2025). Additionally, in mid-July 2025, the EOS R50 (released in March 2023) will also be made compatible with the EOS VR SYSTEM through a firmware update, thereby enabling both 'spatial video' and 'spatial photo.' Going forward, Canon will further strengthen the EOS VR SYSTEM in collaboration with Apple to meet the creative needs of pro users who strive to produce stunning immersive video as they explore new ways of storytelling.
