line is the standard bearer in the industry," said George Mikolay, associate director of copier
MFP/production analysis, Keypoint Intelligence. "We tacked on more
than two million impressions on Canon's copier engines this year
and experienced just three misfeeds, which is simply outstanding
and unmatched by any other vendor."
Buyers Lab's team also found that these devices were
complemented by its software line designed to further improve
workflow efficiency, address security concerns, and help control
costs, which includes Canon's MEAP platform, uniFLOW and uniFLOW
Online Express.
