FedEx Office, Dallas, will deploy more than 12,000 new Canon and HP printing devices across more than 1,800 locations in the U.S. and Canada in May. The majority of the next-generation document imaging equipment will be installed over the next 12 months, laying the foundation for a range of new products and services that will help harness the explosion of printable content now accessible to consumers.

The purchase includes Canon's imageRUNNER Advance multifunction products (MFP) and imagePRESS digital press systems and HP online and cloud printing applications.

"Customers' expectations of printing have changed dramatically, and we are transforming our business to stay ahead of those trends and improve on our leadership position," says Brian Philips, president and CEO of FedEx Office.

The devices will be the same across most locations, creating a uniform customer experience with extraordinary printing quality and reliable equipment operation, says FedEx.

"The HP and Canon alliance is delivering the most robust offering of products and solutions to FedEx Office, allowing the company to transform their stores into more expansive publishing centers and making it easier for customers to print what they want, when they want and how they want," says Lynn Pendergrass, HP's senior VP, Imaging and Printing Group - Americas.

FedEx Office will also implement creative HP publishing solutions such as Snapfish by HP.
