Canon Introduces “PosterArtist” Web Application, Adding New Value for Canon Printer Users
The new web version enables posters to be designed effortlessly, even for users who do not possess design skills
SINGAPORE, 7 March 2022 — Canon announced today a web application “PosterArtist (Web version)” (https://posterartist.canon), an easy poster creation software for even design beginners to create stylish posters, banners, calendars, flyers and more.
In addition to the previous Windows version, “PosterArtist (Web version)1” has a revamped UI/UX design for everyone to use intuitively. It supports the PIXMA series inkjet printers, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE series multifunction printers for offices, and the imagePROGRAF series of Large Format Printers to provide new value to existing users.
Create Original Posters Intuitively and Print Easily with Canon Printers
PosterArtist (Web version) features two options to create posters, to cater to different needs of users. If you have a specific idea in mind, you can start by selecting a design based on categories like “Poster”, “Banner” or “Flyer”. Alternatively, you can choose a specific theme such as “Retail/Distribution”, “Sale”, “Food & Beverages” to view suggestion of design templates.
With the “Auto Design” feature, users can simply select a category such as “Events” or “Schools/Education”, input a title and some texts or images, after which multiple custom design ideas that match the input content will be automatically created.
With attractive templates suited for various industries and applications, coupled with millions of free photos provided by the stock photo services, there is versatility in the range of design ideas.
From the initial poster design to the printing process, PosterArtist (Web version) makes the whole workflow2 to be easy and smooth. All designed posters, flyers, banners and many more graphics can be printed with Canon printers3 in high image quality modes. Poster files can also be saved and stored on external storage platforms.
Add Stand Out Finishing Touches using Gold and Silver Texture Effects and Fluorescent Ink
Compatible with a number of Canon printers3, gold and silver texture effects can be used to enhance the design, thanks to newly developed image processing technology. When printing with the imagePROGRAF GP Series4, the Vivid mode in the application can be adjusted in three levels to enhance the brightness and vibrancy of the overall output. This is made possible by the “Radiant Infusion" technology, in which fluorescent pink ink layers with other inks on the paper.
Hence, high quality prints can be easily produced with the unique features of the new PosterArtist (Web version).
