For most SMEs – and especially for start-ups – the budget is often limited so everything from office supplies to energy consumption must be accounted for. Similarly, when picking out a printer for your enterprise, you would want a machine that can offer you the best performance for your money. Choose a printer that is reliable and consistent in its printing quality; efficient with the use of ink, paper, and energy; and multi-functional in the sense that it can do more than just print documents.
Here are three fully-loaded printers from Canon that you can consider:
Print, fax and scan with effortless ease
Compatible with the latest operating systems, the Canon PIXMA MX7600 does almost everything. It prints laser-quality text and hi-resolution water-resistant photos using Pigment Reaction Technology (PgR) and processes full HD movie prints with the Fun Filter effect. This is perfect for printing small items such as HD movie or concert invitations, flyers, greeting cards, business cards, pocket or regular size photographs and postcards. It sends and receives fax at Super G3 transmission speeds of up to 250 pages and connect via Apple Airprint. Connectivity will never be an issue through a wired Ethernet or wireless network where customers can simply send for printing. The MX7600 also scans at 1200 x 2400 dpi of up to 10 images in one scan, and then saves each as individual files or copies four pages and condenses them into one printout, perfect for a photo scanning-printing business. Using the built-in 1.8-inch LCD screen, the MX7600 can index the photos from a memory card slot or PictBridge connection from your digital camera, which means you can partner with a “no-cameras allowed” event or exhibit and be able to print samples of products or artwork for sale instantly.
Professional results in an instant
Nothing gives a printout with a more polished, professional feel than a quality laser printer. The Canon LASER SHOT LBP7200Cdn prints crisp colour and definition even on regular paper. It has a proficient in-line mechanism and eco-friendly design for toner cartridge which gives it the shortest paper path in its series. It is one of the fastest printers at 20 pages per minute for both coloured and monochrome prints; the first page is printed in 15 seconds from the time you press print. You can connect this printer to an event photo booth, takes pictures and print out high resolution pictures to give out right away. Since this printer uses toner efficiently, it can be used to print out business-quality brochures, manuals, training materials, and company reports in coloured or black and white, aside from being able to produce flyers, small posters, business cards and labels.
