Canon’s New Americas HQ,
Océ ColorWave 900
On land that was once served as Tilles Pumpkin Farm
in Melville, New York, Canon invited the industry press
to gather in August to explore its new Americas headquarters. Although the facility’s public grand opening
had taken place in July with the like of Sen. Charles
Schumer and other state and local officials in attendance,
this was an opportunity for The Big Picture and others
to tour the 700,000-square-foot facility and get a “first
draft” on some new products that Canon is releasing.
The new Canon Americas building, which joins
London and Tokyo as one of three Canon worldwide headquarters locations, sits on 52 acres and houses 1400
employees (plus 300 consultants). The site features a
walking trail and two large ponds, and 8 acres that will
remain untouched woodlands. The facility itself is
designed to meet LEED gold certification, and features
several environmentally conscious elements, including
daylight harvesting (systems using daylight to offset the
amount of electric lighting needed to light a space) and
10 electric-vehicle charging stations.
Also of note is the onsite Canon Corporate Showroom,
a 12,000-square-foot space that will be used for product
demonstrations for customers, dealers, media, and
students. The showroom offers touch-and-try product
displays for every Canon product category – including
wide-format printing, of course – as well as an interactive
company timeline, a 40-seat theater, and much more.
On the product side of things, Canon provided
complete information on one newly introduced printer,
and also previewed a few other products it placed under
non-disclosure agreements (NDA). It officially launched
into North America the Océ ColorWave 900 printer,
which had been shown at FESPA (and, going further
back, had been shown as the Project Velocity at Drupa
2012). Engineered for the graphic arts as well as the

AEC and GIS (geographic information systems) markets,
the Océ ColorWave 900 is designed to “close the gap
between digital inkjet and traditional offset technology,”
Canon reports.
The ColorWave 900 has a raw print speed of more
than 12,000-square-feet per hour; delivering 3.4 billion
1.2-picoliter drops of aqueous ink per second, the
machine is able to produce resolutions of 1600 x 1600
dpi, Canon reports. With a maximum media width of
42 inches, the machine has a 6-media-roll capacity (up
to 650 feet per roll); output is cut and delivered into a
high-capacity stacker, which features dual delivery trays
for concurrent printing and unloading. Features include:
Océ PowerM controller or Onyx Thrive print-workflow
software; a touchscreen interface; and more.
The ColorWave 900 will debut at Print13. Three
other new Canon products – two in the wide-format
space and one in the narrow-format space – will also
make their debut at Print13; since these are under NDA,
however, we cannot report on them until our post-show
coverage (but if you’re attending Print13, we urge you to
check them out on the event’s show floor).
