Canon LabelStream 4000 series certified by Fogra

Canon LabelStream 400 series has become the first digital press to be certified by the Fogra Research Institute for Media Technologies as meeting the specifications of its Process Standard Digital (PSD) Print Check.

Yuan Li, responsible for pre-press technology at the Fogra Research Institute for Media Technologies, presents the Fogra certificate to Canon Production Printing’s color consultant, Jochen Schäffner

Fogra offers all member and non-member companies the opportunity to obtain certification according to the PSD based on ISO/TS 15311. With this certificate, printing and media companies ensure quality capability and smooth production.

The PSD certification therefore confirms that the color consistency, uniformity, detail sharpness and stability of print runs produced on the LabelStream 4000 comply with the requirements defined by Fogra.

The evaluation of output produced on the LabelStream 4000, a 6-color digital press, resulted in the printer’s color gamut, homogeneity and coherence achieving the highest category score, indicating that the LabelStream’s color gamut 'surpasses many 7-color digital label presses available in the market today', said the company.

The LabelStream 4000 series uses UV inkjet printheads, Xaar 2001+ UV, which deliver a high pigment load, and increased ink laydown capability to expand the color gamut. With a coverage of 96 percent at a Delta E 2000 of less than 2, LabelStream can accurately match brand colors and deliver consistent output on standard labelstock.
