Here at Falcon, we've talked in great detail about the many advantages of the uniFLOW document workflow solution. BLI were impressed with the uniFLOW severless secure print workflow solution's ability to build-on existing MFP secure print functionality to provide 'My Print Anywhere' proximity card login to customers who may not possess a dedictaed print server. This level of functionality helps on three fronts - improving security, as important documents are never left unattended, reducing waste by preventing printing of documents which may not be collected and increases productivity by ensuring an MFP is only engaged when a user actually requires his/her documents. Canon uniFLOW document workflow solution is available for both MEAP enabled Canon imageRUNNER and imageRUNNER Advance photocopiers/MFP's, as well as a select number of Canon multifunctional devices.
Speaking on Canon's receipt of two separate 'Summer Pick' Awards from BLI, Canon's Junichi Yoshitake commented,
"These awards recognise Canon's commitment to providing our customers a comprehensive suite of imaging solutions that take output production and management to the next level... Canon is proud to receive Buyers Lab 'Summer Picks' for our uniFLOW Severless Secure Print solution and the imagePROGRAF iPF 8300S large format printer."
Both Canon uniFLOW workflow solution and the imagPROGRAF iPF 8300S large format printer are available through Falcon, the leading Canon approved business solutions partner.
