Canon ImagePRESS Lite C165 – 350GSM Digital Color Production Printer

The Canon imagePRESS Lite C165 is a 65 ppm digital production printer that bridges the gap between office simplicity and professional graphic arts quality. Engineered to handle heavy stocks up to 350 gsm, this base model delivers stunning 2400 x 2400 dpi colour output, making it the perfect entry-level solution for Canadian marketing teams and print shops.

Production Power. Office Footprint.

Bring professional print capabilities in-house without sacrificing floor space. The imagePRESS Lite C165 combines the intuitive interface of an office copier with the robust engine of a production press. It allows your team to produce marketing collateral, business cards, and proofs instantly, eliminating the wait times of outsourced printing.

Designed for the Canadian business environment, this unit runs on standard 120V power (15A/20A), meaning no expensive electrical retrofits are required in most Ontario offices. It ships fast and sets up quickly, ready to handle peak workloads with a monthly duty cycle of up to 330,000 pages.

Unmatched Media Versatility

This machine is defined by what it can handle. While standard office copiers struggle with thick paper, the C165 thrives on it.

• Heavy Stocks: Prints effortlessly on media up to 350 gsm (130 lb Cover) via the multi-purpose tray.

• Textured Media: The elastic transfer belt adapts to rough surfaces, ensuring toner fills every peak and valley on textured stocks like linen or felt.

• Envelopes & Banners: Supports standard #10 envelopes and long-sheet printing (up to 51.2") for creative applications like tri-fold brochures and banners.

Precision Quality and Security

Your brand colours must be accurate. The C165 utilizes R-VCSEL technology to achieve a sharp 2400 x 2400 dpi resolution, delivering crisp text and vibrant images that rival offset printing.

Security is standard, not an upgrade. Verify the device boot process and protect sensitive data with McAfee Embedded Control, which utilizes a whitelist to prevent malware and tampering. The standard paper capacity of 3,550 sheets ensures you can run long jobs with minimal interruptions.
