MISSISSAUGA, ON, August 12, 2008 – Canon Canada Inc., the leading provider of digital imaging solutions, has today introduced three new multifunction models, the PIXMA MP480, PIXMA MP240 and PIXMA MP190 Photo All-In-One (AIO) printers, designed for simple operation and maximum performance, while also providing new automatic features for enhanced scanning, copying and photo printing. These two Canon models are ideal for any print locale, from homes and businesses to college campuses.
"With each generation of All-In-One printers, Canon sets the bar higher with convenient operation, speed and image quality. These new models exemplify why Canon is the imaging expert in our industry," said Ian Macfarlane, Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer Imaging Group at Canon Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc. "In times when families are looking for the best value, having an All-In-One device helps everyone do a little bit more, right from home."
