Canon Strikes Perfect Balance Between Office and Production Needs

In speaking to the performance of the Canon imagePRESS C165 with Canon imagePRESS Server L30 V2, David Sweetnam, Keypoint Intelligence’s Director of EMEA/Asia Research & Lab Services says: “Canon has negotiated the delicate balancing act of addressing the ease-of-use needs of the office user and the advanced requirements of professional print, helping it win our new award for Outstanding CRD/Professional Office Device.

“The Canon imagePRESS C165 takes advantage of Canon’s award-winning imageRUNNER ADVANCE architecture and user experience, while adding an upgrade path to take the device beyond typical office needs and into the realm of professional print, with powerful EFI print server options, better support for more challenging media requirements, and professional-grade finishing capabilities.”

Canon Australia’s Ted Matsumoto, General Manager of B2B Product Marketing, says Canon is honoured to be acknowledged by Keypoint Intelligence as a best performer in the production category.

“To win a BLI PRO Award, products go through rigorous and extensive production field testing, during which tens of thousands of pages are printed and hundreds of data points are analysed by Keypoint Intelligence. Nothing gets past the testers. So for the Canon imagePRESS C165 to win, it means the imagePRESS C165 delivered best practice automation, consistent output over long run lengths, features key operator maintenance capabilities, and delivered on image quality and productivity expectations. This is truly an accolade to be proud of.”
