Canon wins BLI 2014 Wide Format Graphic Arts Printer Line of the Year Award

Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI) has selected Canon as the winner of its ‘2014 Wide Format Graphic Arts Printer Line of the Year Award’, recognising overall strength of Canon’s imagePROGRAF graphic arts product line. BLI’s coveted Line of the Year is awarded once a year to the vendors whose product lines are determined to be the best overall in their respective categories based on their cumulative test results in BLI’s rigorous two-month evaluation. For wide format devices, among the many factors considered are reliability, image quality, ease of use, colour management, productivity and connectivity attributes.

Also considered for the award are the breadth of the manufacturer’s line and its ability to produce quality products suitable to a broad spectrum of customer needs. The comprehensiveness of Canon’s offerings, satisfying the production/proofing print markets with the 8-colour models and the high-end graphics markets with the 12-colour models, across all the common size ranges, together with the outstanding lab performance of all the models tested, have justly earned Canon the prestigious award.
