Japanese multinational corporation Canon has introduced six new printers under its MAXIFY and imageCLASS, all of which have been designed specifically for remote workers, home offices, and small businesses.
All six models share some notable features. For example, each printer boasts an impressively low total cost of ownership and increased productivity; these printers can produce approximately 14,000 sheets in color before needing an ink refill, making them incredibly long-lasting and efficient. In addition, the new printers come with compact designs, meaning they have a very small footprint, which is important for those working with minimal desk or office space.
"Canon is proud to deliver solutions designed to meet new customer needs through the continued expansion of the MAXIFY and imageCLASS printer lines," says Isao "Sammy" Kobayashi, senior vice president and general manager of Canon U.S.A., Inc. "These new printers are designed to improve efficiency for small and home offices while being versatile, eco-friendly, and time-saving tools."
