Printing

Safe, secure, simple, and convenient prints — anytime, anywhere.

The value of printing in a digital society

Despite the advances in digital society, the value of paper in thought processes, collaborations, and enjoyment of daily life has not changed. Paper remains a foundation for humanity's intellectual activities. Canon developed, from the ground up, electrophotography and inkjet printing, which are both major digital printing technologies. Canon is working to create a society in which all types of content can be printed beautifully, safely, securely, simply, and conveniently, anytime, anywhere, the way you want — whether at home, in the office, or even at commercial printers.

Achieving both smaller carbon footprints and office MFDs with advanced functionality

Office multifunction devices (MFDs) are accelerating digital transformation (DX). Canon promotes full-scale office DX with services that seamlessly integrate high-performance, user-friendly MFDs with the cloud. And by extending MFDs’ print management technology, Canon provides printing environments that let people work from anywhere. The company also works to cut CO₂ emissions and promote resource recycling in each of the design, production, and reuse stages, as it strives to make products with advanced functionality while minimizing their environmental impact.

Office MFDs offer excellent functionality including quiet, high-speed printing and scanning

Laser printers provide fast continuous printing and quick warm-up

Generating new value for commercial and industrial printing through technological innovation

Digital printing enables commercial printers, who print items like books, catalogs, posters, direct mailings, and forms, to meet client needs like on-demand printing and variable printing — where each copy is different — that was difficult to handle with analog printing. Canon has launched a line of high-resolution, high-speed printers including sheet-fed and continuous-feed models of digital commercial presses and large-format printers for printing posters and technical drawings. The company has also made a full-scale entry into the industrial printing field for labels, packaging, and similar materials with products that address the needs of industrial printers.
