Canon has been recognised by Keypoint Intelligence with the
- 2026-2028 Most Energy Efficient Toner-Based A3 Brand Award and
- 2026-2028 Most Energy Efficient Toner-Based A4 Brand Award.
These accolades are based on Keypoint Intelligence’s testing methodology, which measures energy consumption across printing, idle, and sleep modes, providing an accurate assessment of a device’s total annual energy usage.
The results revealed that Canon’s portfolio of A3 and A4 toner devices has the lowest energy consumption, when compared to over 200 different models from other industry vendors. Specifically, Canon’s A4 devices proved to be 47% more energy efficient than competing devices tested, with Keypoint Intelligence noting that Canon has leading energy efficiency across every category of its A4 toner portfolio. Canon’s A3 devices also proved to be 18% more energy efficient than other devices that were evaluated.
Canon is the first manufacturer to receive both of these awards at the same time.
Khalid Aziz, Marketing Director, Integrated Printing & Services Group at Canon UK and Ireland comments:
“Sustainability is at the heart of our business and product design strategy, shaping the way we develop, deliver and extend the lifecycle of our technologies. As regulatory expectations evolve and organisations place greater emphasis on their sustainability goals, we continue to innovate with features such as low-temperature toner technology and rapid device start-up times, which help customers lower energy consumption. We’re delighted to receive this important recognition from Keypoint Intelligence, which reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering high performing sustainable innovations to the industry.”
Tested over 5 Years
As part of its analysis, Keypoint Intelligence evaluated almost 200 devices from various manufacturers over a five-year period, including a broad range of A3 and A4 systems, using a comprehensive testing methodology that measures energy consumption across workflows. The evaluation considered factors such as power usage during print, sleep and recovery modes, as well as performance across a variety of document types and job conditions.
Canon’s portfolio stood out for its combination of strong productivity and low overall energy consumption across tested devices.
In total, 20 Canon devices were evaluated, including models from the imageFORCE, imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX, and i-SENSYS ranges.
