    Canon Continues Its Dominance as the #1 Brand For Color and
    Black-and-White Copiers

    Canon U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of Canon Inc.,
    announced that the company has been named the number one overall brand leader in
    the color copier market and in every speed segment of the black-and-white copier
    market in the U.S., according to Gartner Dataquest*.

    Canon held the #1 brand market share position in the color copier market for
    2004, with 29.5% share. This is the 18th consecutive year that Canon has been
    the overall market brand leader in the U.S. color laser copier market. Canon

    In addition, it is the third consecutive year that Canon has captured the

    in the U.S., and the 22nd time in the last 23 years that Canon has been the
    number one overall brand leader in the black-and-white copier market, with 32.5%
    share.

    “The strength of the Canon color and black-and-white family of products is
    reflected in the overall demand for Canon-branded products, allowing us to
    dominate the market,” said Ryoichi Bamba, executive vice president and general
    manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. “Canon’s heritage in digital
    imaging and in the U.S. copier market allows us to provide customers with
    high-quality products and offer a superior value proposition over our
    competitors.”

    The Gartner Dataquest research studies focused on market share for color and
    black-and-white copiers of both digital and analog technology, including PC
    copiers (1-10ppm) and copiers in Segments 1-6, which range in speed from 11 to
    91+ copies per minute (cpm).
