“The models in Canon’s copier MFP line are running three years strong as trailblazers in their respective segments,” says George Mikolay, associate director of copiers/production for Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab.

“Each of the 14 current models BLI tested tout easily replaceable components, extraordinarily comprehensive usability, and an astonishing overall misfeed rate of just 1 every 426,000 impressions, making them some of the most productive and reliable machines to pass through our labs to date.”

“The surplus of workflow-expediting, cost-cutting solutions that each device supports are icing on the cake, and the machines can produce high-quality printed and copied output that businesses of all types will be ecstatic about.”

Canon additionally received recognition for BLI Winter 2017 “Pick” awards for the following solutions:

“Canon is honored to once again receive recognition for its Copier MFP line,” added Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc.

Once a year, BLI honors Line of the Year awards to those vendors whose product lines it determines to be the best overall in their category based on the collective test results of all models tested in BLI’s comprehensive two-month laboratory evaluation.

Selections for Pick awards are made by BLI’s staff of technicians and editors subject a number of devices from every major original equipment manufacturer to BLI’s comprehensive lab tests in the last six months.

American Security Today was formed after careful reflection of 9/11 and its aftermath when the Department of Homeland Security was established and there was an immediate explosion of new products and solutions for what was perceived as an imminent second attack on primary targets in the United States.

As time moved forward from 9/11 itself and in recent years, the threats to our nation have evolved from a large scale 9/11 type attack to:

  • Domestic and International Terrorist Attacks carried out by ‘lone wolves’ and coordinated individuals
  • Cybersecurity breach attacks against our government agencies, financial institutions and critical infrastructure facilities
  • Unprecedented urban violence
  • Cultural shifts and societal media bias, which make it increasingly difficult to secure our nation in this constantly evolving threat environment.

These current circumstances have put forward another rapid expansion of new ideas, products and solutions to combat these ever changing challenges.

These changes have called for a new generation of security experts in the Homeland Security and Public Safety fields who need real time knowledge of our ever growing threats.

These experts include the Government at the Federal, State and Local levels as well as from Private Firms specializing in Physical Security, Port Security, Law Enforcement, First Responders, Military and Private Security responsible for implementing coordinated security measures to ensure our Nation’s Security and improve Public Safety.

AST 2017 'Champions Edition'Together, each of these entities work together seamlessly on the front lines of protecting our communities, to ‘Keep our Nation Secure, One City at a Time.’
