Remarkable productivity and flexibility.
Built inside the imagePRESS V900 Series are remarkable technologies designed to produce stunning and repeatable output and keep your digital press running.
Impressively Versatile
Productivity that won’t quit
With the default High-Productivity Mode, you can realize high throughput on your long runs. Plus, the imagePRESS V900 Series’ ability to hold highly accurate color and tight registration across a run with real-time adjustment means you can experience minimal downtime.
Benefit from varied shapes and sizes
Offer customers more with expanded support for a wide variety of media, including coated and thick stocks up to 130 lb. Cover* as well as specialty stocks. The imagePRESS V900 Series easily handles everything from envelopes to rigid, synthetic, and embossed stocks. And the ability to auto duplex media up to 13'' x 30'' opens the door to six-panel brochures, booklets, and posters/signage, too.*
Waste less, print more
Keeping the press up and running is a top priority. The air separation assists with feeding your stocks reliably into the press, which can help reduce reprints and paper spoilage. The Multi Sheet Detection of the Multi Drawer Paper Deck* automatically diverts any jam-prone sheets to a dedicated purge tray, without stopping the press or requiring immediate operator attention.
Amazingly Vigilant
Precise front-to-back registration
A combination of digital sensors, together with the Compact Registration Unit, help to ensure that even heavy and large sheets are accurately and consistently positioned. The optional Sensing Unit allows the press to do the registration adjustments for you in real time. Improved internal controls offer stable alignment to help deliver repeatable, high-quality output with minimal effort.

Stunning Color, on repeat.
Stand out with consistent and accurate color.
Anticipate Every Detail
Automated and efficient color control
The standard Inline Spectrophotometers (ILS) help operators achieve accurate, repeatable color, regardless of skill level. This imagePRESS V900 Series is designed to help you reliably meet deadlines and move projects out the door rapidly and with beautifully consistent results. Once you’ve initiated the process, the press can create a custom output profile and G7® calibration in just minutes.* Canon’s powerful ILS can automate your crucial color tasks. Multi D.A.T. then makes real-time adjustments to help produce consistent color throughout a run.
Offset-like print quality
Canon’s Translucent CV Toner allows a media's surface properties to be preserved, producing vibrant, vivid images across the sheet surface on a wide variety of stocks.
Crisp, rich images
The flexible transfer belt and simple transfer adjustment technology allow the toner to fill in the peaks and valleys of textured and embossed stocks. Full, rich solids and high-density images can be reliably produced for custom and premium applications.
Rock-solid stability
Advanced internal stability maintains a consistent environment. Now add to this the automatic measuring of multi-gradation density patches and precise front-to-back registration. The results are stunning highlights, mid-tones, and shadows that can meet high expectations.
