Yep, 2 new products coming out. The Canon guy is here in my office right now. He received the info, but hasn't gone through it yet. He has to go to training in two weeks on this stuff. He will leave me what info he can, and I will put the pertinant stuff here...stay tuned
He didn't have anything to leave. He did say that they are coming out with a 68(B&W)/68(Color)and a 31(B&W)/31(Color). The 31/31 will replace the iR3200C.
Here's a press releae regarding the new Canon's:
"CANON UNVEILS NEW STRATEGY AND PRODUCTS TO MEET GROWING DEMAND FOR AFFORDABLE OFFICE COLOR
Canon Showcases New Hybrid Color-Enabled Black-and-White Multifunction Copiers and Fully Customizable MFP Programming Platforms at "Colorful" Times Square Bash
New York, NY, March 11, 2004 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of Canon Inc. (NYSE: CAJ) and the nation's market share brand leader in color laser copier/printer solutions*, formally announced its strategy for meeting growing business demand for affordable, color-enabled Multi-Function Printing (MFP) devices during a celebratory Tuesday, March 9 evening event. Along with other products shown this week at the AIIM and ON DEMAND trade shows in New York City, Canon also highlighted its two new color-enabled copiers that will help it to capitalize on what it sees as a multi-billion dollar office color market over the next five years.
At a press conference and customer reception held at the Good Morning America studios in New York's Times Square, Canon, the overall market brand leader in color laser copiers for 17 consecutive years, unveiled its color-enabled imageRUNNER C6800 and imageRUNNER C3100 Series, two hybrid devices that are unique in their ability to provide occasional color, with no diminution of black-and-white functionality or productivity.
"Canon's color strategy — in part — is based on an evolving market opportunity, that color MFP devices are decidedly influencing the document creation and workflow process in corporations," said Tod Pike, senior vice president, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "With the addition of the imageRUNNER C6800 and C3100 Series, Canon is now able to fulfill an even broader range of business needs with color enabled-MFP devices, allowing our customers to enhance their business communications by generating more effective and powerful documents through the increased use of color."
Canon, which is #2 in worldwide patents, also showcased its innovative Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform (MEAP), a technology that leading analyst firms have reported as having "the potential to change the role of the copier." MEAP is another hallmark of Canon's innovation and commitment to creating office products that bridge today's hybrid paper-and-digital, monochrome-and-color information culture. MEAP is a new embedded platform for building customized document applications that integrate hard-copy operations directly into the workflow of enterprise software applications."

The new canon 6800 is 68ppm bw, and 16ppm color. Quality is strictly business color. The 3100 is 31ppm bw, and 7ppm color. It is not a replacement for the 3200. Both are single drum systems using their existing amorphous silicon drum. The quality will be not nearly as good as the 3200 and with much slower color speed.
