WELCOME TO KINGSPORT IMAGING ONLINE!
Kingsport Imaging Systems, Inc. is an independently owned company, marketing office equipment as an authorized dealer for Canon USA, Inc. Our location in Kingsport, Tennessee, has been our business home for 90+ years.
Check us out! Every view looks good. As the technologies we market and service have evolved to the "digital world" of today, our company has also evolved from a "sleepy" office supply store to an award-winning marketing and service representative with Canon.
Our reward is the enviable position of having the ability and resources to deliver a high degree of professional and technical service to our customers without the trappings commonly associated with large corporate organizations.
GO GREEN WITH YOUR PRINTING
Under Canon's environmental vision "Action for Green," we aim to cultivate a society that achieves harmony between a Prosperous Lifestyle and a Healthy Environment. Toward this end, we are developing highly functional products that have a reduced environmental impact at every stage of the product lifecycle. As one example, our Environmental Frontrunner Project, which focuses on developing eco-friendly products, is supported by the Canon Group and our business partners. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series of networked office multifunction printers represent the results of this initiative. These products incorporate an array of eco-friendly technologies.
Kingsport Imaging Systems consistently seeks ways to improve its environmental performance. Throughout the company, there is a strong commitment to a blance between economic success and respect for the environment. We are guided by a core corporate philosopy affirming a continued commitment to environmental improvement.
> LCA Concsicous Design
We estimate that the CO2 emmissions attributable to each stage from raw material procurement to the customer's final disposal of a used product. Our reduction target is up to 50% of the total.
> On-Demand Fixing Technology
Power consumption has been reduced by 70% thanks to Canon's unique on-demand fixing technology, which heats the fixing element only during printing, and reduces power consumption by 70%.
> Bio-Based Plastic
A plant-derived bio-based plastic is used for exterior parts in which high flame resistance is necessary. CO2 emissions from the manufacturing process have been reduced by about 20%.
> Recycled Plastic
100% of the plastic recovered from customers is used as a raw material. This recycled plastic is equivalent to new plastic in terms of performance.
> Lead-Free
We responded quickly in order to comply with the EU ROHS Directive, the European restrictions of hazardous substances. We also exceeded legal requirements by eliminating the use of lead.
