In 1597 Sir Francis Bacon declared that "knowledge is power."  Back then, the known world was much smaller, and he was only armed with a handful of books.

Today, anyone with an internet connection can get a mountain of knowledge with a single mouse click.

This is easily showcased by the fantastic amount of geographical information instantly available through Google Maps or Google Earth.

These applications operate as web-based conglomerations of data sourced from data and images, satellite imagery, aerial photography, and GIS. 

But, if you need a way to print this data in the form of GIS maps, aerials, or images, you need a competent printer.

This is why Canon has spent so much time researching and developing the best technologies for word class prints. Check out how Canon has elevated the playing field with their LUCIA ink sets for Canon large format printers. 

Businesses across the country need ways to clearly communicate the current COVID-19 hygiene and social distancing policies. Custom signs and posters are a great way to do this.
