As people adapt to the new way of living, modules and online classes have also evolved as the primary platform of students and educators to build uninterrupted learning. Last year, the Department of Education (DepEd) branch in Region XI faced a logistical challenge in producing large volumes of printouts, sorting pages into modules, and dispatching to respective schools.
Canon, in partnership with DepEd Region XI, launched The Print Room Project to address the issue of high volume production printing by providing high-speed digital printing presses, backed up by a vast nationwide network of post-sales support – including trained engineers, logistics support, optimum inventory of consumables and sales, and an organization structure committed to delighting the customers. It involves a dedicated printing room with designated personnel to receive the master file for mass printing and smart sorting. Canon’s multi-function, high capacity, smart sorting printing Presses allow cost and time efficient production of modules that have increased Educational Module production for Region XI by up to 200%.
As a result, Canon’s smart copying and scanning machines has provided 26 million prints for Region XI students. These modules are centrally produced and respectively allocated among regional schools to provide tangible practice materials for students in supplementing virtually conducted classes amidst the pandemic protocols.
“Agility is key to adapting to the new normal. We provide solutions that enable clients to carry out their responsibility effectively. In this case, we improved education experience with the use of smartly sorted, printed modules to supplement electronic or digital learning sessions” said Yasuhiko Shiraki, Head for Business Imaging Solutions in Canon Marketing (Philippines), Inc.
The days where moderators had to manually copy, sort, and compile all pages for modules are gone. “I hope that our schools elsewhere and other businesses find value in the concept of the Canon-DepEd Print Room Project to help save time and energy in producing educational materials”, said Dr. Maria Inez Asuncion, Department of Education Assistant Regional Director
Aside from addressing high volume printing issues for educational modules, there is also an increasing demand for streamlined professional print workflows in office or printing business environments. Canon offers the latest imagePRESS series as the ideal solution for businesses or printing production houses who are looking to upgrade or improve the quality of their print assets with high-resolution and vividly colored outputs.
“Delivering excellent print quality, speed, and paper compatibility, imagePRESS C170 and C165 increase efficiency by enabling in-house production houses and businesses to effectively broaden their print capabilities with high quality mass volume printing and best in class print software.” added by Yasuhiko Shiraki.

The imagePRESS C170 and C165 offer remarkable print speeds of up to 70 pages per minute (ppm) and 65 ppm respectively when producing high-quality colored assets in-house, helping businesses meet fast turnaround times and tight deadlines.

The Multi-Density Adjustment Technology (Multi-D.A.T.) enables printers to perform real-time density adjustments while printing. Users can prevent color fluctuations and produce high-quality deliverables steadily even when printing in large volumes. Additionally, the printers feature diverse print resolutions, including 190 lpi (lines per inch) and 170 lpi to attain high-resolution, high-quality images and text with superb clarity.
The paper cassette of the printers features an internal guide mechanism that maintains uniform paper position, and a technology that controls paper delivery speed, preventing the misalignment of letters, regardless of paper size or type during high-volume printing. Offering high front and back registration accuracy, the printers also produce high-quality deliverables that require high positional accuracy on both sides of paper, such as double-sided flyers.
