Mono laser network printers offer superior quality output at affordable prices

Canon New Zealand has announced two new additions to its Mono Laser Network Printer range designed to meet the demands of dynamic small businesses. The LASER SHOT LBP6300dn and LASER SHOT LBP6650dn are both compact units that offer up to 18 per cent faster print speeds than their predecessors. Both Lasers printers come with integrated network making them ideal for workgroup printing, removing the need for complicated IT planning and allowing small business owners to concentrate on providing added value to their customers.

“Small businesses are always looking for a competitive edge that will give them that extra impact,” says Robert de Jeu, Brand Manager – Print Solutions, Canon New Zealand. “These new Lasers are suitable for small businesses who value professional and high quality print output delivered in
high-speed at an affordable price.”

Both the LBP6300dn and LBP6650dn come with Canon’s Automatic Image Refinement (A.I.R) technology that provides brilliant quality black and white printing equivalent to 2400 x 600dpi to ensure small businesses are able to always present their business in a professional way.

In addition, small businesses will benefit from Canon’s Quick First Print technology, which delivers the first page in just six seconds. This means printing one page invoices and receipts is easy and customers won’t need to wait around for the printer to kick into action. Canon’s energy and time- efficient feature enables each printer to wake quickly from sleep mode and print in ten seconds or less.

In addition, on top of quality images and high-speed, small businesses will appreciate the money saving features that Canon has incorporated into the design of the LBP6300dn and LBP6650dn.

The newLaser printersfeature Auto Duplex Print for easy double-sided prints, reducing paper cost and small businesses’ carbon footprint. Owners of small businesses also need not worry about incurring high energy bills, as both Laser printers include Canon’s unique On-Demand Fixing System which enables low power consumption.

“The LBP6300dn and the LBP6650dn each offer money saving solutions through the all-in-one cartridge, by integrating all the elements that could run out or wear out,” says de Jeu. “This means that there are no expensive drums to replace. Over 95 per cent of print quality comes from the printer drums, so replacing the all-in-one cartridge ensures that users print high quality
documents every time.”
