What do you need in a small printing press?
Here at SOS, we have worked with many organizations in the NYC area that made the move to producing their own printed materials for marketing, sales, training, and operational purposes. Here are the most important features to look for in an entry-level small printing press to ensure your success.
Convenience and simple operation
Familiar interface. If this is your first time investing in a small digital printing press, you might be concerned about usability. Will your staff be able to operate it? Will your IT group be able to manage it? Canon understands these concerns, and that’s why they developed the imagePRESS Lite C165 with an easy user interface that’s very much like the office copiers you are already used to.
Programmable controls. To make your work even easier, you can assign frequently-used or more complex tasks to a single button on the user interface.
The small footprint doesn’t take up too much of your expensive office space. This small printing press measures 27.1″ wide x 37.1″ deep x 48″ high.
Speed and efficiency
Fast printing: Print speeds of up to 65 ppm maximize your production capacity.
Fast scanning: Single-pass, duplex color scanner converts paper documents into digital files (in a range of file formats) at up to 240/220 ipm at 300 dpi. The scan software supports advanced PDF features, including Adobe PDF Reader Extensions, Encrypted PDF, and Searchable PDF.
Maximum uptime: This small printing press has been designed with outstanding toner, drum, and part yields to minimize downtime. Plus, toner and paper can be replenished on-the-fly, so you won’t need to interrupt a job in progress.

Image quality
Canon has long been a recognized leader in the development of advanced technology for color imaging. So it’s no surprise that the imagePRESS Lite C165 produces excellent image quality for a small printing press.
Print resolution: 2400 x 2400-dpi, using Canon’s unique R-VCSEL imaging technology.
