With the introduction of the color imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2030 and C2020, Canon is expanding its imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform to include lower-volume, lower-speed color MFPs. The pair of new tabloid/A3 color MFPs, which replace the imageRUNNER C2550, are based on a new engine that uses technology from higher-end imageRUNNER ADVANCE models.

Dell
With the launch of the Dell 1250c and 1350cnw in September, Dell released its first machines based on Clear View LED technology. Dell says its Clear View LED print technology allows for a compact design as well as great print quality, performance, enhanced energy savings, and ease of maintenance over comparable laser printers.
Hewlett-Packard / HP
On July 5, HP added the LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw to its lineup of A4 color laser MFPs. The new print, copy and scan MFP is an entry-level device featuring a compact design for the limited space on a home-office desktop or in a small office.

By offering standard Ethernet connectivity, HP may be hoping to include the device in some of its MPS packages, which could make these MFPs more attractive to office users. However, with printing costs that exceed those of most business-class inkjet machines, we think frugal SMB customers are unlikely to purchase the new M1100/M1200 MFPs.

HP has refreshed its entry-level line of personal single-function monochrome lasers with the introduction of the new LaserJet Pro P1100 series. The new P1102 base unit replaces the LaserJet P1005 and P1006, and the P1102w adds a wireless version to the low-end of HP's product portfolio.

With a price point below $500, Oki's MC160 MFP is low-end color laser with many attractive standard features. Like other printer and copier vendors, Oki has set the costs high on its latest low-end color electrophotographic unit.

Xerox
In February, Xerox added the Phaser 6010 printer to its existing lineup. The machine features new Fuji Xerox LED technology and it is marketed as one of the fastest printers in its class. Xerox dubbed the LED technology HiQ and it offers benefits like drum and fuser units that are expected to last the life of the machine. With an estimated retail starting price of around $299, the Phaser 6010 is Xerox's lowest cost color device to date.
