Four Canon wide format printers – the 12-colour PRO-2000/PRO-4000 and the 8-colour PRO-4000S/PRO-6000S – have been selected for Buyers Laboratory (BLI) awards, including Line of the Year.
BLI says its Line of the Year designation is awarded once a year to the vendors whose product lines are determined to be the best overall in their respective categories based on the cumulative test results in BLI’s testing. BLI analysts and technicians look at reliability, image quality, ease of use, colour management, productivity and connectivity attributes.
BLI adds that it also considers the breadth of the manufacturer’s portfolio in the category alongside its ability to produce quality products suitable to a broad spectrum of customer needs.
Vishal Gohel, product manager, Canon Australia says, “We are proud that our new models have been recognised for their outstanding performance and reliability. The details of the reports from BLI are very important to us as they show where Canon is achieving its goals and where we can make further improvements. It is a sign of our commitment that these devices have won BLI Pick awards and we will continue with our innovation and investment to make sure we continue this success.”
Marlene Orr, director of product analysis, BLI says, “The comprehensiveness of Canon’s offerings, satisfying the production/proofing print markets with the 8-colour models and the high-end graphics markets with the 12-colour models across all the common size ranges, together with the outstanding lab performance of all the models tested have earned Canon the 2017 Line of the Year award for its wide format graphic arts and technical printers. As proof of their quality, every Canon wide-format model tested in the past year has earned BLI’s Highly Recommended rating.”
Yuichi Miyano, business group director of Canon Europe’s Wide Format Group, says, “We are very proud that our new models have been recognised for their outstanding performance and reliability. The details of the reports from BLI are very important to us as they show where Canon is achieving its goals and where we can make further improvements. It is a sign of our commitment that these devices have won BLI Pick awards and we will continue with our innovation and investment to make sure we continue this success.”
Canon has received multiple Pick wins over the last few years for different products, such as the iPF830/840/850 series.
