On Demand Offers Drupa Preview

The new imageRUNNER C6800 and imageRUNNER C3100 series will target users who produce mostly monochrome output, but need occasional color printing, as well. This differs from Canon's C3200, which was created to push printing from black and white to color.

The C6800 runs 68 pages per minute (ppm) in black and white and 16 ppm in color using Canon's Amorphous Silicon single drum system. To provide color printing with one drum, Canon houses color toners and developers in a separate rotary developing unit from the black developing unit. Auto Carrier Refresh technology ensures consistent toner distribution on the drum. An intermediate transfer belt helps the machine handle heavy stocks and specialty media. Color page costs average 10 cents.
