The customer event, which runs from today to 2 July, will give visitors the opportunity to attend a number of workshops, as well as check out Canon's latest press and software offerings.

The show is being targeted at commercial printers, CRDs and copy shops and will feature talks on issues such as obtaining finance, the environment, sales and marketing, and training.

In addition to its new mono imagePress machines, Canon will showcase its C1+ with clear toner, colour imagePress C7000VP and the Helix Production Workflow.

Other companies exhibiting at the event include NT Ware, EFI, Agfa and Objectif Lune promoting services such as workflow, colour management and web-to-print.

Trevor Dodsworth, head of professional print marketing at Canon UK, said the event was an opportunity for Canon to work both with customers and industry partners to "address some of the burning issues of the day".
