Authorised Canon retailer Adorama has the Canon PIXMA PRO-100 Professional Inkjet Photo Printer for $59 after $250 mail-in rebate (instructions). Cart price will show $309 but the final price is $59 with free shipping (in USA). After MIR you’ll also get 50 sheets of photo paper for free along with the printer. It’s not the latest photo printer by Canon but still a very good, semi-professional performer, especially if you consider you pay it $59.

Canon releases Q3 2017 Financial Results, EOS 6D Mark II sales good, company claims

View Post

Canon published financial results for Q3 2017. Results are not bad for the Japanese Company, though “sales volume of interchangeable-lens digital cameras declined compared with the previous year“. However, apparently “newly launched models as [shoplink 46185]EOS 6D Mark II[/shoplink] enjoyed solid demand”. Can’t be such a bad camera after all.

The company describes their global market situation as follows:

As for the markets in which Canon operates amid these conditions, demand for office multifunction devices (MFDs) overall remained at around the same level as the previous year amid the increase in demand for color models, while demand for laser printers continued to recover in emerging countries, centered on China, as the economy recovered. Demand for cameras shrank moderately, while demand for inkjet printers remained at the same level as the previous year. Additionally, there was solid demand for medical equipment, mainly in developed countries. Within the Industry and Others sector, demand for flat panel display (FPD) lithography equipment and manufacturing equipment for organic LED (OLED) displays enjoyed strong growth.

More specifically, the Image System Business

Within the Imaging System Business Unit, although sales volume of interchangeable-lens digital cameras declined compared with the previous year, owing to the shrinking market, unit sales of such newly launched models as EOS 6D Mark II enjoyed solid demand, allowing Canon to maintain the top share in the U.S., Japan, and major countries in Europe. As for digital compact cameras, sales of high-value-added models enjoyed solid demand; supported by healthy demand for the newly launched G9 X Mark II, part of the high-image-quality PowerShot G-series lineup, leading to an increase in unit sales from the same period of the previous year. Additionally, the decline in sales in the previous year due to shortages resulting from the Kumamoto earthquake contributed to the increase in unit sales for this year. As for inkjet printers, the newly designed home-use TS-series and refillable ink tank models that target emerging countries enjoyed strong demand, resulting in unit sales increasing from the same period of the previous year. As a result, sales for the business unit increased by 9.0% to ¥270.5 billion year on year, while operating profit totaled ¥39.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 31.1%. Sales for the combined first nine months of the year totaled ¥795.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 3.2%, while operating profit totaled ¥116.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 26.1%.

 Canon U.S.A. Continues its Commitment to Working with the Arbor Day Foundation’s Reforestation Program and Reaches Yearly Milestone

MELVILLE, N.Y., October 23, 2017 – In its ongoing efforts to help protect the planet, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, continues its commitment to the Arbor Day Foundation “Replanting Our Forests” program, reaching its 2017 goal of helping to contribute to the distribution and planting of 50,000 trees this year. To date, Canon contributed to the planting and distribution of more than 460,000 trees since it began its affiliation with the program in 2009.

As an incentive to drive Canon’s efforts through the program, Canon helped contribute to the distribution and planting of one tree for every eligible imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction system sold from April 1, 2017 up until the company reached its target goal of 50,000 trees. Canon designed and manufactured the imageRUNNER ADVANCE series, in which all current products are ENERGY STAR® certified and rated EPEAT® Gold, with environmental concerns in mind. Designed to help users achieve low-energy consumption, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction systems include efficient fixing technologies and toner that requires little heat for fusing. They can also help minimize waste with sustainable features, such as Secure Print and Forced Hold that allows users to hold, preview, and change print settings at the device.

“Environmental sustainability and community engagement are two supporting pillars of Canon,” says Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Arbor Day Foundation’s mission mirrors our Kyosei philosophy and our pledge to make a difference in the community and help care for the environment.”

The Arbor Day Foundation’s global reforestation initiatives aim to rebuild forest areas that are in desperate need of regrowth. This year, active U.S.-based replanting efforts are taking place in 35 forests across 23 states. Canon’s support helps contribute to the distribution and planting of trees on Tate’s Hell State Forest in Florida as part of their landscape management to dampen the effects of strong rain storms, as well as the Webb Tract, an impaired watershed in Illinois.

“Canon’s corporate support is incredibly beneficial to our ‘Replanting Our Forests’ program, and we thank the company for their ongoing support and dedication to our cause,” concludes Dan Lambe, president, Arbor Day Foundation. “Their active presence in our program can be seen in revitalized forests, neighborhoods, and communities that are beginning to regain benefits to quality of life that they previously lost due to deforestation.”

The Kyosei Philosophy

Canon continues to be dedicated to its corporate philosophy of Kyosei, which signifies all people working together for the common good. Canon seeks to achieve its goals of energy and resource conservation, as well as reducing environmentally hazardous materials used in its products. Canon shares this philosophy through various environmental, conservation, recycling and sustainability initiatives. Earlier this year at the Canon Americas headquarters, Canon employees began to plant and dedicate trees on the headquarters’ grounds to commemorate anniversaries and milestones, as well as to continue to embrace its corporate philosophy of giving back to the environment.
