Canon Wins Big in 2026. Here's Why It Matters to Your Business
Canon just claimed two major industry awards: the 2026 A3 Line of the Year Award (their 13th—more than any other manufacturer) and uniFLOW Online’s 8th consecutive Pick Award from Keypoint Intelligence.
The Bottom Line as an End-User
Why you should be impressed by these awards and stats?
Lower IT Costs
Your IT team wastes hours driving to sites to fix printer issues?
uniFLOW Online lets IT support any Canon device remotely – no travel, no waiting, faster resolution. Just an internet connection and they’re in.
Better Security Without Headaches
Sensitive documents left on printers, data breaches, and compliance concerns?
Canon’s imageFORCE series protects data throughout the entire document lifecycle, with secure authentication, encrypted handling, and protected output. Print jobs only release when you’re physically at the device.
Hybrid Teams That Can Utilise the Network
Staff can’t print from home, can’t find their print jobs, different systems in every location?
“My Print Anywhere” means your team can submit print jobs from anywhere and release them at any Canon device across your organisation. Works from laptops, tablets and phones.
Professional Output Every Time
Inconsistent quality, client-facing documents that look amateur, and reprints costing time and money?
“ imageFORCE devices consistently deliver professional image quality that makes your business look good—whether it’s an internal memo or a proposal for your biggest client.
Stop Wasting Money on Printing
No visibility into who’s printing what, costs spiralling, and budget tracking is a nightmare?
uniFLOW Online tracks every page, shows you exactly where costs are coming from, and lets you set budgets and rules. For education clients, students can even top up their own print credit from their phones.
No More “It’s Too Complicated”
Staff avoid using printer features because they’re confusing, which hurts productivity and reduces ROI on your investment?
Canon’s intuitive interface means minimal training is required. Your team can scan to cloud services, set up secure printing, and handle complex jobs without calling IT every time.
Why Independent Testing Matters
These aren’t marketing claims. Keypoint Intelligence put Canon devices through rigorous, independent lab testing. Eight imageFORCE models (C5140, C5150, C5160, C5170, C7165, 6155, 6160, 6170) all earned “Highly Recommended” ratings.
The testing confirmed what matters most: fast performance in multi-user environments, reliable output for demanding workloads, and security that actually works.
