Malaysia, 22 August 2011 – Canon, a leader in printing and imaging, is set to revolutionize the desktop printer scene with the release of the imageCLASS LBP7018C, a color laser printer that is compact, powerful, yet cost-effective. With a sleek attractive form and finish, the new imageCLASS LBP7018C is set to replace conventional inkjet printers as the device of choice for high-quality desktop color printing.
“Managing an efficient workflow and being able to produce quality documents for internal and external use are top requirements for SOHO businesses operating in an environment which places an emphasis on efficiency and speed,” said Donny Ling, Director of Consumer System Products Division, Canon Marketing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. “The new imageCLASS LBP7018C desktop printer addresses these concerns directly and enables these companies to enjoy superior print quality and efficiencies together with reduced energy consumption.”
Improved print quality
Equipped with Advanced Smoothing Technology (AST) and S-Toner, the imageCLASS LBP7018C prints smooth graphics on solid-tone and half-tone areas. Lines and text are printed with less jagged edges, while Canon S-Toner uses spherical wax-core toner particles to improve color consistency and quality.
With Canon Advanced Printing Technology (CAPT 3.0) and High-Smart Compression Architecture, the imageCLASS LBP7018C is able to compress huge print jobs before sending to print, allowing the same level of performance seen in competitor host-based printers, without the need to install additional printer memory.
The printer produces A4 color documents at 4 pages per minute (ppm), and is four times faster when printing in black and white - delivering printouts at 16 ppm. It also has a prompt warm-up time of 66 seconds or less, resulting in higher productivity in work environments that do not require the printer to be kept on constantly.
Low energy usage
The energy-efficient imageCLASS LBP7018C consumes just 1.1W power in sleep mode, and a mere 7W in ready mode while waiting for a next print job.
With On-Demand Fixing technology, the printer features recovery time of just 10 seconds, ready for the next print job. With a first printout taking just 13.6 seconds for a monochrome document, the imageCLASS LBP7018C excels in energy savings and speedy printing.
Easy maintenance
Keeping the imageCLASS LBP7018C running smoothly is an intelligent toner replacement system. Aside from a Printer Status Window that alerts users when any of the four toner cartridges is due for replacement, one of four LED lights will also light up, with the depleted cartridge automatically rotated to the top for convenient removal and replacement.
The imageCLASS LBP7018C laser printer will be available in stores now at the recommended retail price of RM828.
