Canon Australia today announced an exciting launch of new, multifunctional devices.

There are four colour A3 multifunctional devices in the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500i Series (the C5535i, C5540i, C5550i and the C5560i) and they're designed to enhance productivity, provide an intuitive user experience and address the total cost of print across an organisation.

Senior Manager-Product at Canon, Peter Brittliff says the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500i Series is tailored to deliver maximum return on investment to businesses by minimising maintenance and downtime, while boosting productivity and profitability.

"The value of print for our customers lies in its ability to create, manage and share documents and information in a secure manner, and seamlessly across an organisation," says Brittliff. "The new range of devices come with the new shared platform to reduce administration, and ensure employees have the technology they need to work digitally and efficiently.

Brittliff affirms the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500i Series represents best-in-class performance and has been designed with environmental goals in mind. This is in addition to the ability to fit seamlessly into any working environment, while offering advanced network security.
