This year we are also recognising uniFLOW V5 as a Best of Breed Solution, and awarding several models an ‘Outstanding Achievement’ Award for Energy Efficiency. These awards have been earned the hard way, through two months of rigorous durability testing, so customers can be assured that the Canon range stands for the highest standards of quality, usability, sustainability and reliability.”
