Did you know …
… the Canon imagePRESS C7010VP Series was designed from
the ground up for commercial print
Registration Spec +/-0.5mm
Fusing units engineered to allow paper
temperature to adjust sufficiently to optimize the
gloss of the toner to the surface of the paper
Auto duplex up to 325gsm
Engine and secondary fuser designed
to effectively run large, coated
media, no matter the grain direction
Air separation and suction
feeding all trays – all medias,
all trays
Did you know …
…the Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C8000 is really a souped –
up color copier
Registration Spec +/- 1.0mm
Paper path designed for letter
size sheets, so short grain is
preferred for large sheets
2nd Fuser added to
improve imaging on heavy
media – path to tight to
auto duplex >300gsm
Design of 2nd fusing unit
often over heats the
paper, reducing the
ability to give consistent
gloss control

Friction feeding in engine trays –
NO coated media = minimal use of
1500 sheets of capacity
“Dual Fusing”
KM Fusing
• Stacked-up/ Over Heats
• Runs media through only once.
Dual Fusing seated on top of one another
limits the control of temperature, which can
cause over heating which in turn can
damage the media and cause wrinkles in
thin media stocks. Purchasing the additional
humidifier at an additional cost would be
the only solution.

Canon Fusing
•Spaced Apart
•Runs each side of media separately
to ensure high quality output.
• Temperature Control
Dual Fusing separately allows for better
control of the temperature, gloss
control and media handling. The Canon
Airflow Enhancement technology also
assists in maintaining the temperature
of each fuser. No additional humidifier
units are required to be purchased.
Did you know Canon…
… offers a larger printable image area on an imagePRESS
C7010VP Series than on the Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS 8000?
The printable image area is the defined area on a page that can be printed on
the engine. Offering a larger area allows you in some cases to yield more
finished product out of a press sheet.
Benefits
• Meet deadlines in a shorter time frame
• Produce a greater amount of revenue generating products
• Decrease production time line and saves on total cost of operation

Did you know the Canon …
… imagePRESS C7010VP Series registration tolerance is 2x better the
Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C8000 registration tolerance?
Printing business cards, postcards, and other applications that require
cutting, both sides need to match up perfectly. The smaller the
tolerance the less of a risk for errors, reprints or overruns.
Benefits
• Reduced Cost of Operation
– Reduced need for overruns
– Save time and money with less reprints
– Maximized use of large sheets
• Registration spec that meets industry
standard for offline finishing, helping ensuring
sellable product after finishing
• Faster turnaround time
