Canon introduces the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2000 series to the Middle East

Canon Middle East gathered key corporate customers in Abu Dhabi to launch its much anticipated imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2000 series to the UAE customers. More than 150 attendees witnessed Canon’s latest colour printer aimed at helping Small and Medium Enterprises achieve tangible cost savings with colour printing.

“The launch of these new products puts us even more firmly on the industry map as the leading brand for colour and colour capable solutions. Canon has a strong heritage in this space and we have a deep understanding of business requirements. The launch of our new office colour portfolio reflects this. With businesses now making a strong transition to colour, we now have a product to match every specific business need,” said Moayad Elsaadany, Product Manager, Canon Middle East

“What differentiates us from the competition is our smart approach to print.  The use of colour is rapidly increasing in the workplace and through our intuitive products that sense when and when not to print in colour, we put businesses in control of output to ensure they produce professional-looking documents cost-effectively, without compromising on quality,” added Elsaadany.

The latest imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2030 and C2020 series are equipped with the latest solutions to suit small and medium-sized workgroups in office environments. Running at 20 ppm and 30ppm, they provide a range of options and functionality to enhance networked security, worker productivity, cost efficiency and environmental benefits.

Available in ‘light’ or full versions, they provide organisations with a choice of HDD and Flash drive functions. The Flash option provides a basic imageRUNNER ADVANCE functionality that is ideal for price competitive colour printing for small and medium sized workgroups, whilst HDD supports the most functions on the award-winning imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform.

Bringing together print, copy and scan functions; one touch workflows; USB multi-media support; an internal finisher; and a 2,000 sheet paper handling capability in stock weights from 64 to 220gsm, the MFPs come with a powerful suite of features for a highly competitive entry level price.

With powerful device centric solutions, such as Security and Cost Control Pack, USB Print & Scan and iW360 document handling and productivity suite, users can create stunning looking documents, streamline working practices, improve document storage and collaborate with colleagues more effectively using both models.

The imageRUNNER C2000 series provides a variety of environmental USPs, including the lowest Total Energy Consumption (TEC) and smallest footprint in its class. It also provides quick warm up and recovery times and automatic double-sided printing as standard.

“Now more than ever, organisations are looking for ways to reduce and control costs, at the same time increasing productivity. Our new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2000 series provides cost-effective colour printing, copying, colour scanning and sending capabilities- all in a space-saving and user-friendly design,” concluded Elsaadany.

The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2000 series will be sold through Canon's accredited channel partners in the Middle East, with the ability to provide the quality of consultancy, service and after-sales support associated with the Canon brand.
