Canon ready for home printing boom
Canon is closing in on the expected boom in the home printing market with the increasing widespread use of inkjet multifunction printers (MFPs) globally, as digital cameras and camera phones enter the mass market, reports the Malaysia Star.
"Canon Marketing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd vice-president and general manager Liew Sip Chon said the use of MFPs at home, capable of printing photo images from cell phones and camera phones, to output digital photos was one of the fastest growing applications in the world as ownership of digital cameras and camera phones continued on an uptrend.
“With digital cameras closing in fast on film cameras, the home printer is quickly emerging as the virtual darkroom of the 21st century,” he said after the launch of the new PIXMA range of printers – the first in Asia – in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
