Canon launch iR-3100C Black and White with Smart Colour

Mon 15 Mar 2004

New device launched at Guinness Storehouse "Score 2004" Exhibition

Canon have launched their "Baby" CLC 3200 device for black and white users who require occasional colour. They have designed the iR-C 3100C to produce 31 black and white and 7 colour pages per minute, with a break-down of 85% B/W and 15% Colour.

The new device comes network ready as well as with a duplex unit for double-sided printing. It differs from its big brother the 3200 by virtue of its single drop-down drum as opposed to the "Flat Four" system on the fast colour device.

Canon UK and Ireland plan to sell 3,500-4,000 units per annum, believing colour capable devices will become the de facto within 2/3 years.
