Canon, EFI in mobile printing pact

Digital printing specialist EFI says it is working with digital imaging solutions provider Canon US to bring mobile printing to the enterprise-print market place, reports MenaFN.com.

As the first step, Canon's imageRUNNER Advance line-up of colour and black and white office systems utilising Fiery-based imagePASS and ColorPASS controllers now support EFI's direct mobile printing solution, says FNN Online.

Residing on the Fiery controller, EFI's direct mobile print technology enables printing directly from Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices, further enhancing the functionality of Canon's series of imageRUNNER Advance office systems beyond traditional wired environments, according to MarketWatch.

“The combination of Canon's imageRUNNER Advance technology with EFI's direct mobile print solution creates an easy, intuitive way for Apple device users to automatically discover a Fiery-based printer on their WiFi network and print with the touch of one button,” says Sam Yoshida, VP and GM, Canon US.
