Canon Production Printing Australia

What Canon Production Printing Australia does

Canon Production Printing Australia Pty. Ltd. is the wholly-owned Australian and New Zealand subsidiary of Canon Production Printing Netherlands B.V. (part of Canon Group), headquartered in Clayton, Melbourne with a regional subsidiary in Auckland, New Zealand. The company sells and services industrial digital printing systems — including the varioPRINT iX-series sheetfed inkjet presses, ProStream 3000 continuous feed presses, Arizona flatbed UV printers, and Colorado roll-to-roll UVgel printers — to commercial printers, publishers, display graphics producers, interior décor manufacturers, and increasingly label and industrial packaging converters across Oceania. Its proprietary technology portfolio centres on patented UVgel ink chemistry with UV-LED curing, VariaDot variable-drop piezoelectric imaging, Arizona FLXflow airflow media handling, FLXfinish+ single-pass gloss/matte switching, and the iQuariusiX integrated architecture for sheetfed inkjet.

The business operates a direct enterprise sales motion supplemented by channel partners and a Customer Experience Centre in Clayton for live demonstrations. Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware sales of printing systems, recurring imaging supplies (proprietary inks, toners, media), multi-year service contracts including proCARE/Colorado ProCare covering systems for five years beyond final production, and PRISMA software subscriptions for workflow, colour management, and elevated printing. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise equipment. The entity traces its origins to Océ, with the Australian operation established as a dedicated Canon Group entity in 2017-2018 and rebranded from Océ Australia to Canon Production Printing Australia in January 2020. With only 8 listed employees, the Australian entity functions as a regional sales and service operation rather than a standalone R&D or manufacturing business, drawing on Canon Production Printing's global footprint of five sites in Oceania, Asia, and Europe.
