Canon to sell 3,400 new multifunction printers by yr-end
Canon Marketing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has targeted to sell 3,400 units of the new imageCLASS MF5700 series of multifunction printers by year end. The printers are targeted at small and medium entreprises and will enable them to boost efficiency and productivity.
Its senior director and general manager (office system & solution) Lim Kok Hin said the series was a definite boon to small as well as large offices as it saved money as well as enhanced productivity and profitability.
He said Canon had retained its number one position in the “all-in-one” laser printer market with a market share above 30%.
Lim said it aimed to sell 4,800 units of the new imageCLASS MF5700 series, comprising MF5750 and MF5770, in 2006. Prices for the new series range from RM2,099 to RM3,199.
He said the yield for the product was 2,500 copies based on 6% density at a cost of RM199 working out to less than eight sen per print compared to others which have a running cost of above 10 sen per print.
“Multifunction devices like the MF5700 series – capable of high-quality printing, copying, scanning and faxing all in one – represent the optimal solution for these small businesses,” Lim said.
The imageCLASS MF5750 and MF5770 series also provide higher printing and copying speed performance of up to 20 pages per minute.
The scanner is bundled with Canon’s scanning software. Its colour CCD scanning method enables the reproduction of visual images with 48/24 colour depth.
