Canon Lead the way in Green Initiatives:

Canon Inc has announced a range of new green initiatives to enhance their already very high reputation for care for the environment. The new initiatives will be called ‘Generation Green’ and will be rolled out across the range of printer products including PIXMA Inkjet printers, Canon Selphy Photo Printers and the best selling Canon I-Sensys Laser printers.

The initiative includes measures to use its NatureStone™ Limestone packaging in select ink packs. NatureStone™ uses biodegradable limestone packaging, which reduces the need for paper and other raw materials, resulting in a 45% reduction in natural energy, 65% reduction in pertroleum-based plastics and 50% reduction in emissions that impact global warming.

By switching from Styrofoam packing to an Airshell packing for toners in transit which uses air cushioning and helps to reduce product sizes, improving shipping efficiency and reduces CO(2) emissions generated during transport by 23 to 49 percent.

We look forward to seeing the new packing in the warehouse and commend Canon on their progressive attitudes

From Cameras to Ink: The History of Canon

 

The company we know today as Canon was first founded in 1933, as a small streetside shop called Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory. The founders, Goro Yoshida and Saburo Uchida, started the company in order to produce a 35-millimetre rangefinder camera.

 

The first camera the company developed went by the name “Kwanon,” after a Buddhist Bodhisattva. Although three versions of this camera were marketed and as many as ten were said to be in production, none were ever sold on a large commercial scale.

 

Although Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory had developed a camera, it had failed to develop a lens. The company decided to partner with Japan Optical Industries—the company we now know as Nikon. This company had developed a camera lens under the name “Nikkor.” In 1936, Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory released its first camera to the commercial market: the Hansa Canon.

 

The Hansa Canon was only the beginning. In 1939, the company began producing its own lenses in-house. A year later, the Japanese army approached several manufacturing companies with a request to produce an X-ray camera. These companies in turn came to Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory with the request. Toward the end of the year, the company produced the first X-ray cameras.

 

In 1945, the company was disbanded briefly after the end of World War II, after part of its facilities were destroyed by fire. When Allied forces came to occupy Japan, the company’s president, Takeshi Mitarai, noticed they showed an interest in Japanese cameras. He made the decision to reopen the company to cater to these interests, inviting back workers who had been let go when the plant closed.

 

In 1947, Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory changed its name to Canon Camera Company. The name was more appealing than the previous one had been to the occupying allied forces, and the script used in Japanese to write the new name was a style that other companies of the time never used—so the name stood out among its competitors and in the Japanese stock exchange.

 

Canon’s company may have begun with cameras, but it eventually expanded into other markets. In 1982, the company introduced its first personal copying machines to the market. Later, in 1987, the company introduced color copying machines. Technology improved further over the years as the company developed inkjet and laser printers and the world’s first ferroelectric liquid crystal display (FLCD).

 

Today, Canon is well known for its line of cameras, computer printers, and other electronics for home use. However, the company also offers business products such as analog and digital copiers, scanners, and all-in-one machines—and these make a significant amount of the company’s revenue. Canon has also developed a line of flat-panel televisions in partnership with Toshiba, under the name SED, Inc.

 

Among Canon’s product lines, the ImageRUNNER series is worth mentioning. This office-sized copier is designed to be environmentally conscious. It warms up in just sixteen seconds, saving energy as well as time. The products in this line also conform to European laws that demand the reduction of lead and other environmentally damaging substances used in manufacturing.

 

Canon’s ImageDirect printer series was also groundbreaking. These Inkjet printers allow users to print directly from their cameras without going through a computer. The printers use photo-quality paper and ink to produce prints that look like snapshots.

 

Canon’s printers are primarily Inkjet, and the company produces a wide range of models from compact desktop printers to all-in-one printers, scanners and copiers. Canon is generally known to sell a high-quality product. However, the print head in a Canon printer is often mounted directly onto the ink cartridge—meaning users must change the ink cartridges if they need to change the print head. In addition, many of Canon’s printers use ink cartridge configurations that are not compatible with other Canon printers; some machines use all-in-one ink cartridges, while others require separate black, cyan, blue and magenta cartridges.

 

Canon is one of the groundbreaking companies that can be credited with the development and improvement of printer technology throughout the years. The company has come a long way since its beginning, and it’s one of the oldest printer and electronics companies still in business today.

Canon Inc, a leading printer and copier maker, said on Thursday it would spend 140 billion yen (£750 Million) to boost its capacity to make toner cartridges in light of robust demand for laser printers.

Consumable items such as toner and related services are an important source of profit for office equipment makers as they generally fetch high margins and provide a constant revenue stream.

Canon does not disclose sales of its toner cartridges, but its laser printer-related revenues, which include toner cartridge sales, totalled 1 trillion yen in calendar 2006, accounting for roughly one quarter of its total sales.

The Tokyo-based company, said it would invest 80 billion yen to build a new plant in Hita in Oita prefecture on the southern island of Kyushu by September 2009.

Canon plans to spend another 60 billion yen to lift output capacity at an existing factory in Oita city.

Japan’s Canon Inc won a patent lawsuit against a recycled ink cartridge supplier as the Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed an appeal against a lower court decision in favour of the camera and office gear maker.

Canon filed a suit at a Tokyo court in 2004, asking a court injunction to block imports and sales by Tokyo-based Recycle Assist Co of recycled Canon ink cartridges that are refilled with non-Canon ink, claiming the products infringe Canon patents.

The Supreme Court decision is significant for Canon as this was the top court’s first decision ever on whether a manufacturer can have patent rights on recycled versions of its own patented products.
