In the ongoing human effort to make complex tools feel intuitive, Canon's two commercial printing systems have been recognized by one of the world's oldest and most respected design competitions. The Red Dot Design Award, now in its seventh decade, acknowledged the varioPRINT iX1700 and Colorado XL-series not merely for what they produce, but for how thoughtfully they invite the people who operate them into the process. It is a quiet reminder that in industrial design, as in much of life, the most meaningful innovations are often the ones that reduce friction between a person and their work.
