The ColorStream 7000 series is a new web fed press family designed for print service providers seeking a reliable, future ready platform for midmrange production. Built on the proven strengths of the ColorStream platform, the new series combines trusted quality and operational efficiency with the flexibility to support evolving customer requirements across business communications, books and direct mail. The launch further strengthens Canon’s leading, web fed inkjet portfolio and comes as the ColorStream platform reaches its 15 year anniversary and surpasses 2,000 presses installed worldwide. Developed for demanding daily production environments, the ColorStream 7000 series has been designed to deliver robust, reliable performance and long term confidence for businesses where continuity matters most.



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.

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. These are the same familiar technologies as those implemented in the ColorStream 6000 series, supporting application continuity and a smooth transition for existing ColorStream customers.

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. Together, these tools provide centralised workflow management, performance monitoring and data driven insight into press operation.

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

The ColorStream 7000 series has been built on an advanced technology platform that supports long term serviceability, reduces downtime and improves overall equipment efficiency through preventive maintenance, software updates and condition based monitoring. 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.



Sharing its core technical infrastructure with the ColorStream 8000, the new ColorStream 7000 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.

A significant addition to Canon’s web fed inkjet portfolio

Within Canon’s web fed inkjet portfolio, the ColorStream 7000 series complements the high end ColorStream 8000 series, offering a balanced solution for customers looking to modernise or expand mid-range production with confidence. It reflects Canon’s long term strategy of offering clearly differentiated platforms that address distinct production needs, supported by a consistent, high quality service and workflow ecosystem.

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. Built through close collaboration with customers and informed by more than 2,000 installations worldwide, it gives businesses focused on business communications, book and direct mail applications a future ready platform for consistent performance today and a clear path to grow over time.”

The ColorStream 7000 series is available immediately in EMEA directly from Canon. Availability in other regions may differ.
