Canon Rolls Out 'Solid' Printer

In its marketing materials, the Long Island, N.Y., company has indicated it feels the equipment is perfect for the in-plant setting because it "offers finishing options that yield professional-looking presentations, proposals and booklets."

The 3900 is a color laser copier/printer that warms up in 8.5 minutes and turns out copy number one in 12 seconds. It has a 400x400-dpi resolution, which the company contends looks more like 800x400. The largest stock able to run through it is 12x18˝, and if it's printing on 81⁄2x11˝ paper, it can run about 39 copies a minute in either four-color or black-and-white mode.
