Canon and Adobe: An imageRUNNER made in heaven?

An old parable encourages businesses to work smarter, not harder. The recent collaboration between Adobe and Canon looks to be a great example of how two solid products can be combined to form a terrific solution for commercial printers and corporations that are knee-deep in paperwork.

The joint effort between Canon and Adobe Systems Incorporated, announced earlier this month, will focus on developing paper-to-digital scanning, security, and print solutions for the imageRUNNER line, including the Canon imageRUNNER 105 (ir 105), imageRUNNER 110 (ir 110), and imageRUNNER 125 (ir 125).

The system will be based off Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) and in theory will help corporations running a Canon imageRUNNER 9070 for example, to convert from paper to digital workflows.

"Canon is focused on improving productivity in the office," said Masaki Nakaoka, Chief Executive of Office Imaging Products Operations at Canon Inc. in the recent press release.
