Canon is launching the imageFORCE C5100 and 6100, two new lines of multifunction devices which have been designed to help businesses enhance their workflows and digitally transform through new levels of performance, quality and innovation.
Powered by Canon’s pioneering imageFORCE technology platform, which leverages machine learning, these devices provide businesses with high quality and high-volume print and deliver a wealth of benefits including greater efficiency, strengthened security, enhanced reliability and improved sustainability.
With innovative features, which include connected smart sensors to gather data, to help identify potential faults and support work continuity, imageFORCE seamlessly integrates into today’s modern workspace and represents “future-proofed” technology to meet ever-evolving needs. Khalid Aziz, Marketing Director, Digital Printing & Solutions, at Canon UK & Ireland said:
“Major technological advancements are transforming the modern workplace and the way we do business, including AI, cloud and IoT. In response, organisations must innovate and embrace technology in order to drive new levels of productivity and growth. Our new imageFORCE devices offer our customers the highest levels of innovation in our multifunction range. These flagship A3 colour and black and white models will equip businesses with pioneering technology to meet all office printing needs and are an ideal choice for organisations wishing to streamline document workflows and boost productivity.”
Introducing the imageFORCE C5100 and 6100 series
The C5100 colour models and 6100 black and white A3 models offer a high-volume print and scan solution for modern businesses and deliver a number of benefits including:
Superior Print Quality
The devices use new market leading, unique high-definition OLED exposure technology, developed by Canon, which allows businesses to achieve up to 4800dpi print resolution and deliver richer, higher quality prints with smoother tones, sharper text and less colour drift – ideal for creating quality documents, presentations, marketing materials and more.
Strengthened Security
Printers commonly handle a wealth of business information and are often overlooked as a security risk. Through Canon’s new Security Environment Estimation Technology, the new imageFORCE devices use machine learning to analyse the IT environment and recommend and apply appropriate security settings. This empowers businesses with limited IT expertise to minimise security vulnerabilities across documents, network and endpoint devices – helping to safeguard critical data, documents and users.
Enhanced Reliability
Through smart sensors and machine learning, the new imageFORCE devices help to predict part failure and identify when a part needs to be replaced, thus minimising downtime and avoiding disruption to businesses. The new range ensures high performance over its lifetime, resulting in an improved user experience.
Improved Sustainability
Canon’s sustainability efforts have recently been awarded with a prestigious Platinum rating by global sustainability organisation, EcoVadis, placing it in the top 1% of companies assessed globally. In line with these efforts, the new imageFORCE C5100 and 6100 series have been built with sustainability in mind, using 30% recycled plastics in its build – a significant improvement when compared to previous models. The devices also incorporate technology to track environmental performance, helping to ensure the efficient use of paper and energy, and they also consume less energy than previous models.
Seamless User Experience
The new user interface provides an intuitive, modern experience for businesses that enhances ease of use and prioritises functionality. The devices offer seamless cloud connectivity and through the Cloud Connector option or uniFLOW Online, can connect to businesses existing software, bridging the gap between physical paper and digital processes.
