Although Canon started out as a manufacturer of cameras, it has been deeply involved in the field of printers for many years and has a very high industry position in the world. In 1997, Canon entered the Chinese market and began to expand its office equipment business in the Chinese market, which has since become one of the top three in this field. In China's inkjet printer market, Canon has a market share of nearly 20%, second only to Epson.
In terms of product positioning, Canon focuses on the mass consumer market. Compared with Epson and HP, Canon does not support ultra-large capacity ink cartridge printers, nor does it have as many features as HP printers. However, Canon's inkjet printers focus more on the basic performance of the product, which is favored by pragmatists.
If Epson is going farther and farther in the direction of large print volumes, then Canon is a representative of the pursuit of printing speed to the extreme. Canon's inkjet printers generally use FINE integrated ink cartridges, with 1,280 nozzles in the cartridges. Since the number of nozzles is the most direct factor affecting the printing speed, the more nozzles, the faster the printing speed, in the high-quality printing mode, the Canon can reach 8-10 prints per minute, nearly 20% higher than Epson's similar products.
At the same time, the excellent output effect of Canon products is also affirmed by consumers. Generally speaking, the finer the ink droplets ejected by the print head, the higher the precision of the output, and the better the effect. The size of the dye droplets of mainstream printers on the market is generally between 10-30pl, while Canon printers can spray dye droplets of 2-3pl in size, ensuring the high-quality output of the product.
In addition to print speed and print quality, affordability is also one of Canon's selling points. The TS308 is Canon's best-selling single-function printer in the home. It not only has the function of borderless photo printing, but also supports wireless direct connection, PictBridge a variety of connection methods, optional increased capacity cartridge also allows users with large printing volume to have no worries, the price is only about 300 yuan, if you want to choose an entry machine, then TS308 must be among the top three. In addition, the iP1188 and iP2780 are also single-function printers, with their simple design and affordable price.
In terms of multi-function printers, Canon focuses on the MG series and E series. Among them, MG2400 and MG3080 are positioned as student machines, compared with MG2400, the latter has more wireless connection and mobile printing functions, and the price is slightly higher by 100 yuan, which is an affordable choice. If you prioritize product performance, you can choose E568, compared with other household models, its printing speed is increased by 20%, the resolution has also reached 4800×1200, and the print volume is larger, supporting automatic double-sided and borderless printing, is the leader of multi-function printers within 1,000 yuan.
