GEI
Wide Format Solutions and Canon U.S.A. Create New MFP North
Canton, Ohio, May 2, 2006. GEI Wide
Format Solutions, a Visual Edge Technology Company and one of North
America’s leading wide format imaging equipment and software marketers,
announced today that it has teamed with Canon U.S.A., Inc. to produce a new
Multi-Functional Printer (MFP) specifically designed for AEC, GIS and CAD
wide format color applications. GEI Wide
Format is the North American master distributor of the Colortrac SmartLF line
of wide format scanners and that relationship offered the perfect opportunity
for GEI to orchestrate a collaborative product development effort with Canon
U.S.A. GEI designed a unique, adjustable “repro-stand” that fits
over Canon’s imagePROGRAF W8400 wide format printer and holds a
Colortrac scanner, desktop computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse. GEI then
added a comprehensive suite of software applications to these components to
form a truly multi-functional system. “We
are very pleased to team with Canon U.S.A. to offer a competitively priced
color solution for wide format copying and printing customers,” said
Roger Ilgen, National Sales Director, GEI Wide Format Solutions. “Wide
Format Color products like this MFP are perfect for the many customers who
need AEC type prints as well as graphic output like signs and posters.” “This
market segment is growing rapidly and the Canon imagePROGRAF W8400 with the
Colortrac Scanner System will deliver a solution that allows users a
versatile, productive and affordable system,” said Tod Pike, Senior
Vice President, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “It was a
pleasure to work with the wide format experts at GEI to develop an MFP that
sets a new benchmark in speed, quality and ease of use in a single, compact
footprint.” About
