Canon has won three Buyers Laboratory (BLI) awards, including the coveted wide format line of the year.
The company was given accolades in the categories of outstanding professional photo and fine art wide format printer series, and the outstanding poster, and indoor signage wide format printer series for winter 2017.
These awards were given to the Canon imagePrograf PRO-2000/PRO- 4000 Series and Canon imagePrograf PRO-4000S/PRO- 6000S Series, respectively.
Vishal Gohel, product manager at Canon Australia says, “Our new models have been recognised for outstanding performance and reliability. The details of the reports from BLI are 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 at BLI says, “The comprehensiveness of Canon’s offerings, satisfying the production and proofing print markets with the eight 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.”
BLI’s line of the year is awarded once a year to the vendors whose product lines are determined to be the best overall in its respective categories based on the cumulative test results in BLI’s testing.
Also considered are the breadth of the manufacturer’s portfolio in the category and its ability to produce quality products suitable to a broad spectrum of customer needs.
