Participating at Xposure is important to us as it serves as a platform to directly engage with storytellers from around the region and showcase our latest solutions.”

To support professional photographers and fine art specialists in bringing their masterpiece to life, Canon is also demonstrating the capabilities of imagePROGRAF series printers in producing stunning black and white prints, detailed graduations, and wide color gamuts that can reproduce the most difficult magentas and blues. The feature-rich professional printers perfectly complement Canon's professional line of cameras for an ideal pairing that accentuates high quality images rich in detail when reproduced on a variety of media, creating images that look as close to the real scene, as when they were captured. 

Ayman Ali, Senior Marketing Manager, B2B, Canon Middle East, said: “Canon is committed to meeting the needs of photo professionals and graphic artists to showcase the nuances in their work. The proof is in the print. With the capabilities to reproduce sharp, bright, fast and obsessively beautiful prints, the resulting professional quality products present great detail and depth without losing any of the qualities present when the image was first photographed. With this in mind, these professionals need only to concentrate on their work, and leave the printing in our safe hands.”

Visitors to the event will also be introduced to a powerful software tool which offers exceptional ease in designing customized photography products online, showcased by Canon customer printonline.me. Using the Dreamlabo 5000 to provide exceptional image detail and vividness, the company is also demonstrating the production of photo books. “From High Definition photo books to single prints, customers can preserve, display, and relive the magic of the moment from capture to output with Canon. Through a simple and easy-to-use online portal, PrintOnline delivers personalized products to customers, professionally printed and bound with a premium finish,” continued Ayman.
