Canon imageRUNNER Advance 9060 Pro Printer Wins EDP Multifunction Printing Award
Monday, 21 June 2010 15:43
Another month and yet another accolade for Canon. This time, the European Digital Press Association (EDP) has honoured Canon’s flagship imageRUNNER Advance 9060 Pro multifunction printer with a coveted EDP Award. Impressed with the engine’s speed, higher paper capacity, superb software integration and consistently good quality output, the EDP Technical Committee singled-out the imageRUNNER Advance 9060 Pro as 2010’s ‘Best High End Multifunction Printer’. Here, we'll tell you a little more about the EDP Awards, what impressed the judging committee and how Canon UK has greeted the news.
The European Digital Press Association (EDP) Awards
The European Digital Press Association grants the EDP Awards to what they believe to have been the best products introduced within European markets in any given year. The aim of the awards is to recognise the immense value that is invested into research and development by certain manufacturers in the printing industry and to highlight these achievements for industry professionals and end-users alike.
The logo which identifies the EDF Award and with which award-winning products are permitted to associate themselves has become a very prestigious hall-mark within the industry and designates the highest quality and innovation.
Primary Judgement Criteria
Each year the EDP Awards are judged by an eminent technical committee, comprising of independent experts, consultants, industry news editors, engineers and other noted industry professionals. From the 2010 EDP Awards Committee, some of the key figures: Sophie Matthews Paul is Technology Editor at Image Reports, Martin Spear is founder of Publisher, Chris Cooke is Publishing Director at Image Reports, Herman Hertman is Editor-in-Chief at SignPro Benelux and Luca Chievageto is an Adobe certified Photoshop instructor and expert.
Evaluation is primarily judged on innovation. The EDP Technical Committee look for products that can offer the latest technological advances but advances which are at the same time reasonably accessible to most typical market buyers, ie. EDP Award winners should always be reasonably affordable within their product category. As far as technical improvements are concerned, in the printing industry, these usually take the form of higher print speeds, better quality printing, higher levels of usability and functionality and effective reductions to a product's overall environmental impact.
EDP Association is so strict about their selection standards for the awards that if their rigorous criteria cannot be met by products within a certain category, they simply won’t announce a winner in the given category for that year’s EDP Awards.
Why the Canon imageRUNNER Advance 9060 Pro?
This year’s categories for the EDP Awards were ‘Post-Press’, ‘Software’, ‘Printing Consumables’ and ‘Printing Engines’, with the imageRUNNER Advance 9060 Pro taking the only award in the ‘Printing Engines’ category, as ‘best high end multifunction printer’. In the Technical Committee’s verdict, available on the EDP’s website, they praised the iR ADV 9060 Pro multifunction printer for
"Its very fast 60 page per minute printing, higher paper capacity and seemless integration of Adobe Life Cycle Management [software]"
The EDP were also impressed with the consistently high standards of printing output, with print quality and speed being consistent in either colour or black and white modes, providing users with the ability to print mixed colour and black and white, without changes in productivity.
On hearing the news, Canon’s Head of Product Marketing at Canon Business Solutions UK, Trevor Dodsworth, had to say,
"We’re delighted that the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C9060 PRO has won this award. It has proved to be exceptionally popular since its launch and this is a fantastic accolade. The innovative technology in this printer offers customers a scaleable solution that can grow in tandem with their business and help them to make a leap to a new area of business involving digital print."
The Canon imageRUNNER Advance 9060 Pro multifunction printer has been available at all Canon accredited UK Canon Business Solutions suppliers since September 2009. The recently released imageRUNNER Advance 8000 Pro series, introduced to the UK market this June, offers the same performance as the 9060 Pro but for buyers only looking for monochrome (black and white) output.
Photocopier News
- Canon is Magic according to Gartner MQ MFP & Printer resultsCanon has been lifted into the realms of the few, according to Gartner - leading technical research company. According to Gartner "leaders are the most capable in providing MFPs, printers and the associated printing solutions and services, regardless of customer location. Providers in the Leaders quadrant offer the most extensive product portfolio relative to their peers, and they have the broad channel capability to deliver the products to customers where they want to procure them"
- Is Your MFP or Copier SecureThe increasing affordability of large amounts of digital space has meant that much of our information has become ever more vulnerable in recent years. It seems that almost every week, there’s another news item about citizens’, patients’ or consumers’ data having been lost, misplaced or somehow gone astray. Twenty years ago, it would have required hulking great servers to carry 1 gigabyte of data. Today, that sort of storage potential is on offer to anyone with a trouser pocket and just a few pounds. In fact, many organisations give away terabytes of space to potential new customers and acquaintances as they used to dish out company biros. Instead of chewing the end of your embossed pen, you may well discover a much less comfortable freebie hanging on the edge of your lip, a stubby USB stick with room on-board for the entire medical records of a UK county. It’s obvious that the huge strides forward in digital technology carry with them equally huge risks. Data is increasingly exposed and more and more of it is turning up in the wrong places. Companies and public bodies are now frequently landed with debilitating law suits and many are left reeling with both reputations and bank balances in tatters.
- Office Equipment Rankings and Awards - A Guide for the PerplexedBuying new office equipment really shouldn’t have to be a gamble. But the risks many business solutions consumers take when purchasing a new office copier, office scanner, office printer or multifunction device, could place them and potentially their whole company finances in great jeopardy. To be fair to these customers, where exactly are businesses supposed to turn for sound and unbiased advice when they’re looking to renew/replace their office equipment lease or purchase new devices of their own? Well, the answer is that sadly, there is no simple answer. There’s no Top Gear for office machinery, and disappointingly, nor is there an accompanying Top Gear buyer advice style magazine. But for someone who has worked in the reprographics industry for years, there are several places that office equipment customers should know about and touch base with when looking for decent, reasonably impartial product information. So, for those of you who are currently searching for the latest and best in office equipment (http://www.canoncopiers.co.uk/) - be that a copier, scanner, printer or an increasingly popular MFD, we bring you our Office Equipment - Guide for the Perplexed.
- The Canon copier imageRUNNER 5000 Series has been replaced by the imageRUNNER AdvanceIt only seems like yesterday that Canon released the imageRUNNER 5000 black and white photocopier/printer, a multifunction printer that was one of the first to introduce high quality and high speed scanning, came with an impressive, highly intuitive user display and offered unusually broad media handling. But now, in what has to be Canon’s most prolific period in copier innovation to date, the company has decided to up its game yet another notch, releasing the stunning imageRUNNER Advance 6000 series. For those organisations looking for the very best in medium duty mono printing and now with colour scanning and a vast array of other improvements as standard, the Canon imageRUNNER Advance 6000 series will be the most obvious choice.
- Canon Copiers Advancing the Frontiers of Digital Printing – Three New imagePRESS Digital ...There’s been a lot of big news from Canon Copiers (http://www.canoncopiers.co.uk/photocopiers/) this last month.

Well cynics amongst you, please hold your tongues, for Canon has one final announcement to make - the launch of three beautiful new colour production presses, which bring unprecedented levels of performance to the digital printing sector. It seems clear from these imagePRESS C7010VP, C6010VP and C6010 flagship machines, Canon has saved its most exciting announcement till last. Here, we’ll provide you with the low-down on the new extended imagePRESS series.
