One Canon business printers India standard across branches.
How a Mumbai logistics firm dropped four copier contracts for one Canon standard, and got the cost per page under control across every branch.
Canon Business Printers at a glance
Why Canon anchors most Indian business printers estates.
- OEM
- Canon is Canon Inc., a Tokyo imaging and printing maker founded in 1937, sold and supported in India through Canon India Pvt. Ltd. in Gurugram. Sirius Star supplies, deploys and services the business print range from Navi Mumbai.
- What it is
- A full office print line from one maker: imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX A3 office multifunction copiers, imageCLASS A4 mono and colour laser printers and MFDs, MAXIFY business inkjet, and imageFORMULA document scanners.
- Why teams pick it
- Canon is strongest where the volume is heavy: office copiers, high-volume A3 MFDs and document scanning, with uniFLOW print management to control who prints what, and a service network that covers branch-office duty across India.
- Core technology
- A3 and A4 laser engines built for shared workloads, uniFLOW print and scan management, automatic duplex and network printing as standard, MAXIFY business inkjet for low-cost colour, and imageFORMULA scanners for document capture.
- Running cost
- The number that matters is the cost per page, not the sticker price. Canon high-yield toner and the click-charge contracts on imageRUNNER copiers keep the per-page cost predictable, which is where a copier either saves money over the contract or quietly drains it.
- India pricing
- Indicative 2026 figures*: an imageCLASS mono laser MFD from about ₹19,000, a MAXIFY business inkjet from about ₹13,000, an imageCLASS colour laser MFD from about ₹40,000, and imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX A3 office copiers from roughly ₹1,50,000 or on a per-page contract. Final price depends on volume, colour, A3 and finishing needs.
- Sirius Star role
- We measure the real print and copy volume per area, pick copier, laser or inkjet, A3 or A4, single-function or MFD, supply and install across branches, set up uniFLOW and scan-to-folder, and run an annual maintenance contract from Navi Mumbai.

Canon Business Printers India FAQ
Common questions about this brand for Indian buyers. Hover any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
What do Canon business printers cost in India in 2026?
Indicative 2026 figures*: an imageCLASS mono laser MFD from about ₹19,000, a MAXIFY business inkjet from about ₹13,000, an imageCLASS colour laser MFD from about ₹40,000, and imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX A3 office copiers from roughly ₹1,50,000 or on a per-page click-charge contract. The real number depends on your monthly volume, whether you need colour, A3 and finishing, and how many branches you are fitting out. Send your print and copy volumes and Sirius Star returns a quote in 24 working hours.
Is Canon better for copiers than for desktop printers?
Canon is strongest where the volume is heavy. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX line is built for A3 office copiers, high-volume MFDs and document scanning with uniFLOW print management, which is where Canon usually wins. For low-volume desktop print, Brother or HP can land at a lower running cost. The honest answer depends on what each area actually prints and copies, and Sirius Star will run that maths for your volumes before recommending a mix.
What is uniFLOW and do I need it?
uniFLOW is Canon print and scan management software that controls who can print, tracks cost by user or department, holds jobs for secure release at the device, and routes scans into folders, email or business systems. A small single-office setup may not need it, but for a multi-branch estate that wants to control print cost and secure documents at the device, it earns its place. We configure uniFLOW where it fits and leave it out where it does not.
Does Canon service its printers and copiers in India?
Yes. Canon is sold and supported in India through Canon India Pvt. Ltd. in Gurugram, with a service network and genuine consumables in the country, so toner and spares are not weeks away on an import. For a business that means shorter lead times on supplies and faster repairs. Sirius Star supplies, installs and services the range from Navi Mumbai, and keeps your toner and ink stocked on a schedule rather than a last-minute scramble.
Can Sirius Star standardise Canon printers across multiple branches?
Yes. We measure the real print and copy volume at each branch, pick the right copier, laser or inkjet models, and standardise on one Canon build so every office works the same way. We supply, install and configure uniFLOW, network printing and scan-to-folder, run an annual maintenance contract, and keep consumables stocked. A new branch follows the same standard instead of becoming another one-off. The work is run from Vashi, Navi Mumbai.
Ready for a Canon printer or copier quote?
Send your monthly print and copy volumes and colour mix per area, not just a model number. Sirius Star sizes the fleet, picks copier, laser or inkjet, and plans the install.
