The company won awards for two of its production printers: the Pixma MP990 inkjet printer and the image Prograf iPF6350 large-format inkjet printer. It also gained awards for three of its camera models: the EOS 550D and EOS 7D digital SLR cameras, and the Powershot G11 compact digital camera.
Darren Ryan, general manager, product marketing – consumer, Canon Australia, says, “Winning these prestigious TIPA awards highlights Canon’s unique position as a market leader in both image capture and output. We’re humbled to achieve such a broad sweep given the unprecedented level of competition in the market. Canon’s continued global commitment to high investment in R&D continues to deliver us a great portfolio of market-leading products. This combined with our focus on understanding the consumer deeply and developing value-adding relationships with the trade will see Canon maintain our leadership in the camera and printer categories.”
Selected as Best Multifunction Photo Printer in 2010, the Canon Pixma MP990 inkjet printer garnered recognition for its “innovative features”, including Auto Photo Fix II with multi-zone exposure correction, which Canon says brings the best out of portrait and scenery shots, ensuring the optimum colour balance and brightness.
The TIPA jury awarded the Canon imagePrograf iPF6350 with Best Large Format Printer in 2010. Featuring Canon’s new proprietary twelve-ink Lucia Ex system in combination with newly developed image processing technology and a colour calibration function, the judges felt that the iPF6350 was “built to fulfil the demands of professional users for sophisticated print quality”.
