IMPORTANT
The purpose of this Customer Expectations Document is to explain the current
features and capabilities of the imagePRESS C7000VP, and address the
customer’s expectations before he/she purchases the machine.
The information included in this document has been pulled from various
sources, including product reference guides, service guides, user manuals, as
well as results from internal Canon testing. Specifications and other
information contained herein may vary slightly from actual device values or
those found in advertising and other printed matter. Part numbers, yield

1. Introduction
The Canon imagePRESS C7000VP Customer Expectations Document contains
information about the features and capabilities of the Canon imagePRESS C7000VP.
This document should be used as part of the presale, and preinstallation planning
process to help clarify the requirements and responsibilities associated with owning
and operating the imagePRESS C7000VP. It is also recommended that those
interested in purchasing the imagePRESS C7000VP have, and familiarize
themselves with, the information in this document prior to making their purchase.
2. Product Overview
The Canon imagePRESS C7000VP is designed to produce the highest color image
quality in the marketplace, and maintains high-durability, productivity, and value.
This high-quality digital press also upholds output printing and copying speeds of 70
ppm for both color and black-and-white LTR size documents.
The imagePRESS C7000VP has full color image quality, various media support with
the largest image area and highest color consistency and durability. As a printer, the
machine is capable of printing up to 1200 x 1200 lpi and dpi. As a copier, the
imagePRESS C7000VP can enhance the digital resolution of your document by
scanning in up to 600 x 600 lpi and dpi, and output the image in 1200 x 1200 lpi and
dpi interpolated resolution. This results in higher quality characters, smoother
corners, and cleaner gradient transitions. Text appears sharper and graphics appear
extremely clear and detailed.
The imagePRESS C7000VP is designed with new technologies, such as the oil-less
V toner, E drum, Twin Red Imaging Laser Beam scanner, Twin Sleeve Developer
Unit, and Real Time and Post Fusing calibration to achieve unparalleled image
quality, color consistency, and media versatility.

2.2 Offset Press vs. Digital imagePRESS
Offset printing is a technique that transfers (or “offsets”) an inked image from
a plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface. This enables the
offset press to maintain a consistent and high image quality over long print runs
because the plate never touches the paper. The process requires a substantial
investment in equipment and setup time to achieve these results.
Adigital press uses an electrostatic process to produce “offset-like” image
quality at a fraction of the cost of an offset press. In the imagePRESS C7000VP
digital press, the drum is imaged; the toner is applied, and then transferred to
the AITB (Advanced Imaging Transfer Belt). The AITB then transfers all four
toner colors to the paper in one single pass. The small toner particle size
captures a greater color gamut space, closer to that of an offset press.
2.3 Image Stabilization Control
The quality of printed images is affected by changes in the environment, such
as temperature, humidity, etc. in which the machine is installed. It is also
affected by the deterioration of image formation parts through extended usage.
The imagePRESS C7000VP performs image stabilization control to ensure
stable print quality over an extended period of time.
