Submitted by Jay Rodas on Thu, 02/05/2009 - 16:23

CALGARY, ALBERTA (February 2009) – Even when Print Audit was a small home basement operation, offering outstanding customer service was a top priority. A decade later, with offices now spanning five continents, the print management solutions company has remained dedicated to its core competency, from regularly collecting customer feedback to having real people greet callers in lieu of automated voices. This week, the company released customer survey data that suggests that their commitment to excellent customer service produces results: those using Print Audit’s products and services rated the company’s technical support at 93 percent over the past six months.

Receiving such high customer satisfaction ratings consistently over an extended period of time is a rare achievement, especially the area of technical support. Print Audit credits its strong customer service and support program to heightened, ongoing communication with customers and to using a system called Net Promoter that utilizes user surveys to improve both products and services.

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., February 3, 2009 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, has announced two additions to the popular Office All-In-One (AIO) line-up - the PIXMA MX860 and PIXMA MX330 printers.

The Canon PIXMA MX860 Office AIO printer features Advanced Media Handling with Auto Duplex copying, printing and two-way paper feeding. The Auto Duplexing feature permits two-sided copying/scanning of letter-sized documents, without the need to manually turn over pages and re-feed the document.

For the first time, a PIXMA Office AIO printer, the PIXMA MX860, will have Wireless LAN (802.11b/g) capabilities and an Ethernet network connection built-in for easy printing and scanning with multiple personal computers. In conjunction with Canon's Generation Green initiative, both of these new Office AIO printers will have the Quick Start feature. The LCD changes from the start-up screen to the initial stand-by mode in a few seconds after pressing the power key, enabling input on the buttons to start operation.
