Canon has released a statement detailing its appearance at this month's drupa print trade show in Germany. David Preskett, director of Professional Print at Canon Europe, states that drupa was 'a great success' with more than 10,000 new leads recorded and customers from Western Europe, the USA and emerging markets including the Middle East and Brazil attending the stand.

"On the sales side, we saw strong orders across our product range, from Océ continuous feed presses to Canon imagePresses – in fact, across the EMEA region we sold a total of 390 Canon and Océ production printers, 32 of which were sold to UK customers," says Preskett. "Delivering a new level of speed and quality, the innovative Océ Velocity wide-format device also generated a huge amount of interest.

"For Canon, drupa 2012 exceeded our expectations and, through further investment and innovation, we'll continue to support the many customers who invested in the expertise we offer across the printing spectrum."
