MELVILLE, N.Y., October 9, 2018 – From major cities
to rural communities, businesses are the pulse of the nation. For those tight
on time and resources, particularly in small-to-medium sized environments, it
becomes especially essential to implement office equipment that requires
minimal service and can help employees utilize worktime efficiently. On a
mission to help those companies flourish and with printing expertise from
desktop to production, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, debuts the Canon WG7200 Series Multifunction Printers.
“Canon is being
bullish in its mission to insert inkjet technology into the office,” says Kazuto
Ogawa, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “We sought to create new A3
multifunction printers that would bring intuitive inkjet technology to the B2B
workforce. Intentionally designed for a low total cost of ownership, and little
to no maintenance requirements, the series creates a compelling value
proposition for businesses tight on resources that still desire high-quality,
high-speed printing.”
The Canon WG7200
Series Multifunction Printers offer consistent, high-quality output through
user replaceable consumables and Jam Defying Design. Their self-serviceable
designs can help offices boost workflow productivity and maximize uptime.
The series includes four multifunction
printers: the WG7250Z, WG7250F, WG7250, and WG7240. Each provides a fast first
printout time of 6.5 seconds* with print speeds ranging
from 40ppm** (WG7240) to 50ppm** (WG7250, WG7250F, and WG7250Z) in General Mode
and up to 70ppm** (WG7240) or up to 80ppm** (WG7250, WG7250F, and WG7250Z) in Office
Document Mode) in both color and black and white. Paper widths of up to 13″ feed over a Canon FINE
(Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) stationary print head during
printing to help achieve these fast print speeds.
The print head
system is designed to help promote the smooth delivery of ink by reducing turbulence
of airflow. Optical and in-nozzle sensors monitor ink ejection to help ensure
reliable printing performance. A newly designed ink formulation with low
surface tension allows inks to absorb into the paper in a short amount of time
and helps minimize smearing and bleeding.
The multifunction
printers’ smooth, gently curving paper feed helps limit the frequency of jams by
allowing for a straight paper path. Each printer supports a wide range of media,
including envelopes, paper sizes from 4-inches by 6-inches up to 13-inches by
19-inches, matte photographic paper, and a wide range of paper weights.
Customers are now
accustomed to devices that get them what they need with a touch of a
button. The user-friendly, five-inch
color LCD touch panel makes setup easy and allows users convenient access to
print, copy, scan, and other functions. On each printer, the covers that open are
located on only the front and right sides of the machine, so that the printer can
easily be installed alongside a wall or in a corner to help maximize valuable office
space.
The Canon WG7200
Series Multifunction Printers are expected to be available for purchase in Q1
2019. For more information, visit https://www.usa.canon.com/WG7200Series.
