14 DAY TRIAL // If today's office there's hardly enough room to place a color printer as well as a fax and scanner, so multifunction solutions have become more and more popular in the office environment, Canon just releasing the imageRUNNER C1030 series as an alternative to all the other color letter-size multifunction products available out there.
Expanding on the technologies of its predecessor, the C1022 series, these new devices feature a compact design (for such a device that is) while also coming with a bunch of new features thanks to Canon's latest imageCHIP (Concurrent Hyper Intelligent Platform) LITE platform.
This actually means these two new printers support duplex-printing while also coming with a faster warm-up time and short wait times between jobs, handling concurrent print, copy, scan, fax and send jobs a lot more smoothly than before.
When it comes down to performance, these devices can offer print speeds of up to 22 pages-per-minute (ppm) in color and 30ppm in the monochrome mode, using a 600x600dpi resolution, image scanning coming in at 20 ipm at 600 x 600 dpi thanks to the integrated page feeder.
“We are confident the expansion of our Color imageRUNNER platform will further distinguish Canon as the provider of choice for small businesses and corporate environments seeking a cost effective option with advanced technologies and solutions,” said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.
“Like the imageRUNNER 2500 Series introduced earlier this year, the Color imageRUNNER C1030 Series offers businesses a streamlined solution, combining excellent durability and simplicity of operation in a small package.”
The new Color imageRUNNER C1030 Series is available in two versions, an “iF” model and a “base” model, the iF version being bundled with standard features including PCL5c/6 support and faxing capabilities, while the base model is configurable with printing and fax options.
Canon's Color imageRUNNER C1030 and C1030iF are available right now for purchase, the suggested retail prices being set at $2,595 and $3,095, respectively.
