Canon earns 6 Pinnacle Awards
Canon earned five coveted PRINTING United Alliance 2022 Pinnacle Product Awards. Among the winners were two in the software category, with PRISMAcolor Manager garnering top honors for color management and quality control and PRISMAsync winning for best Software-RIP (raster image processor). The Arizona 2300 series UV flatbed printers won in two categories, for both UV/Latex Flatbed and UV/Latex Flatbed + White, while the Colorado 1630 series was recognized in the Roll-to-Roll UV (under 80 inch) category.
Open to all PRINTING United Alliance supplier members, the Pinnacle Product Award competition evaluates products that will be available for sale in 2022. A highly qualified panel of judges across the printing industry evaluated the annual contest’s 160+ entries in more than 58 categories spanning analog, digital, output, and non-output technologies.
“We are pleased to once again be honored by winning multiple prestigious Pinnacle Product Awards from the PRINTING United Alliance,” said Shinichi “Sam” Yoshida, executive vice president and general manager of Canon U.S.A., Inc. “It’s gratifying to be recognized in a variety of categories that encompass both hardware and software and to know that Canon continues to be ranked so highly when measured against objective criteria for quality.”
In addition, Canon won a Pinnacle InterTech Award for Production Printing for its FLXfinish+ that offers the unique ability to print a mixed matte and gloss finish in one print, at the click of a button.
Dirk Brouns, Vice President, Large Format Graphics at Canon Production Printing comments, “It’s great our new revolutionary FLXfinish+ technology is recognized by PRINTING United Alliance for its innovation and for the significant benefits it provides to our partners and customers. FLXfinish+ allows operators to act as if their Colorado printer is equipped with varnish to produce any application that normally requires varnish.”

“The Pinnacle Product Award competition represents the best of the best among commercial hardware, software, consumables, and industrial and screen equipment,” said Ray Weiss, director, Digital Print Programs, PRINTING United Alliance. “Congratulations to all the winners.”
Output devices were judged based on reports generated by measuring color charts and then comparing them to industry specifications.
“This is the only competition I know of that reports on the percentage of Adobe RGB a printer can hit,” said Dawn Nye, Program Manager for Pinnacle Awards, PRINTING United Alliance. “Some categories were decided by tenths of a point, so fierce was the competition this year.”
These award-winning solutions, along with Canon’s other innovative production print solutions and large-format technology, will be on display at PRINTING United Expo from October 19-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Canon’s booth #N1009.
