2. The name Canon carries such meanings as “criterion or
standard of judgment.” It effectively captures Canon's
corporate spirit, which aims to set a global standard for
advanced technologies and service while becoming a
criterion in the industry to which others will aspire.
Despite several logo modifications since 1935, the strong
character reflected in the sweeping inward stroke of the "C"
has remained intact from the day that the company was
founded. Striving for consistency in communication since day
one has greatly contributed to the worldwide trust that the
Canon brand enjoys today.
Canon Name

3. The corporate philosophy of Canon is Kyosei. A concise definition
of this word would be
“Living and working together for the common good”
True global companies must foster good relations, not only with
their customers and the communities in which they operate, but
also with nations and the environment. They must also bear the
responsibility for the impact of their activities on society.
For this reason, Canon’s goal is to contribute to global prosperity
and the well-being of humankind, which will lead to continuing
growth and bring the world close to achieving Kyosei
Philosophy

• Crisp clean monotone output
• Less metamerism by utilizing Gray and Photo Gray inks, and
reduces the number of inks needed to match colors.
• Minimizes the use of photo ink to reproduce delicate gray
gradation. This prevents color shift caused by the heavy use of
color inks and realizes a neutral gray balance that accurately
reflects the image.
