Canon just widened its Canon imageFORCE lineup, and this time the news is aimed squarely at the desktop. The new Canon imageFORCE C1935P color printer and the imageFORCE 1643 Series of monochrome multifunction devices bring the same platform that powers Canon’s floor-standing office machines down to a compact footprint that fits next to a workstation. So what does that actually mean for a Tallahassee office trying to right-size its printing? Let’s break it down.
What the Canon imageFORCE C1935P Brings to the Desktop
The Canon imageFORCE C1935P is a compact color single-function printer — print only, no scan bed — built for teams that need clean color output without a full multifunction copier taking up floor space. It runs up to 35 pages per minute in both color and black-and-white, prints at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, and handles media all the way up to 11″ x 17″ (tabloid). That last spec matters more than people expect. A lot of desktop printers cap out at letter or legal, so being able to run an 11×17 spreadsheet, marketing proof, or engineering sketch from a small unit is a real advantage.
Because it shares the imageFORCE platform, the C1935P also inherits the same intuitive control panel, security architecture, and print-driver experience as the larger machines in the family. For an office already standardized on Canon, that means one workflow and one set of habits across every device on the floor.
The imageFORCE 1643 Series: Monochrome Multifunction in a Small Package
Alongside the color single-function unit, Canon rolled out the imageFORCE 1643 Series — monochrome multifunction desktop devices that print, copy, and scan. These are the workhorses for departments that live in black-and-white documents: legal filings, contracts, invoices, and internal paperwork. They deliver the multifunction capability of a bigger copier in a size that sits comfortably on a credenza or a shared table.
Pairing a Canon imageFORCE C1935P for color jobs with a 1643 Series unit for high-volume mono work is a smart way to control cost per page. You’re not running every black-and-white memo through a color engine, and you’re not paying for color hardware you rarely use.
Sustainability Built Into the Canon imageFORCE Line
Canon leaned into recycled materials with this launch. The multifunction models in the series use 25% recycled resin in their construction, and the single-function models use 10% recycled plastic. That won’t be the headline for every buyer, but for organizations with sustainability commitments — state agencies, universities, and larger associations among them — it’s a documentable checkbox that increasingly shows up in procurement requirements. Canon also continues to build these devices to meet ENERGY STAR efficiency standards, which keeps ongoing energy costs down.
What This Means for Tallahassee Businesses
Not every office needs a big floor-standing copier at every location. Satellite offices, private practices, and small departments often just need reliable color or mono output close to the people using it. That’s exactly the gap the Canon imageFORCE C1935P and 1643 Series fill. At Advanced Business Systems, we’ve sold and serviced Canon here in Tallahassee since 1984, and compact devices like these are perfect for law firms adding a conference-room printer, medical offices standing up a new exam wing, or a state agency outfitting a field office.
Keep in mind that on any new device — a compact desktop unit included — a 90-day warranty is standard, but most businesses buy a service and supply agreement from day one. That agreement, not the warranty length, is what keeps toner stocked and a technician on call. We serve Tallahassee, Thomasville, and the surrounding North Florida and South Georgia region, and we can help you figure out whether a Canon imageFORCE desktop unit, a floor-standing MFP, or a mix of both is the right fit.
