The company, which had a joint stand with Dutch subsidiary Océ, also recorded more than 10,000 new leads over the duration of the Düsseldorf event.
According to Canon Europe director of professional print David Preskett, it was clear that customers "felt they gained a unique perspective on their business" during the show.
He added: "Visitor numbers to the Canon stand were impressive, with over 10,000 new leads captured.
"And while we had a strong representation from western Europe, it was also great to see large customer groups from the USA and emerging markets, such as the Middle East and Brazil."
Preskett cited a strong showing across Canon's imagePress portfolio as well as interest in Océ's brand new Velocity wide format technology.
The inkjet machine, co-developed with Memjet, can print at 500 A0-format sheets per hour, four times as fast as Océ’s next quickest wide-format printer, the ColorWave 650.
The Velocity features an array of five Memjet heads and offers resolutions of 1,600x800dpi.
"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," said Preskett.
