Canon Introduces New Image Transfer Technology

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., today announced the availability of Transfer Replication Media, a revolutionary new image transfer technology that enables users to imprint digital artwork and photographs on a variety of surfaces, including ceramic tile, stone, wood, glass, fabric, metal and paper. The Transfer Media is designed for use with Canon's award winning CLC- series digital laser copier/printers.

The Transfer Media technology is the first of its kind, and will allow printing vendors to offer clients custom-designed products for homes and commercial areas by transferring images onto furniture and wood paneling, tapestries and windows, and glazed or ceramic tile.

The process of transfer replication takes just a few minutes of preparation and basic graphic skills: users copy the image as they normally would, only using the transfer paper as the media. For more sophisticated applications, such as tiling or multiple prints, users will need a PC.
