These latest additions further expand and complete its office colour A3 multifunction portfolio to offer a solution that caters to every budget, business size and working setup, so partners can protect their bottom line by supporting customers in any environment. The new imageRUNNER C3226i is designed to support productivity in hybrid working environments, with a range of improved performance and usability features including a new controller and faster print speeds of 26 pages per minute.

Building on the success of the existing enterprise-level A3 range, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C3800 Series is designed for departments with high productivity requirements and organisations looking to ramp up their digital transformation efforts. Offering all the benefits of the imageRUNNER C3226i, including the uniFLOW 2021.2 upgrades, plus connectivity features such as Near-Field Communication and Bluetooth, as well as compatibility with uniFLOW and uniFLOW Online, the C3800 Series boasts a print speed of up to 35ppm and delivers an image capture rate of 270 images per minute. www.canon.co.uk Focus On: What’s New Intelligent TASKalfa 7054ci/7004i series Kyocera has unveiled the intelligent TASKalfa 7054ci/7004i series of A3 multifunctional devices which includes four colour A3 MFPs: the TASKalfa 7054ci; 6054ci; 5054ci and 4054ci as well as three mono devices: the TASKalfa 7004i; 6004i and 5004i.
