Canon began its work with Room to Read in a bid to eliminate waste from print samples produced at trade shows, by using its integrated workflow software and printers to create books instead.

Says Heather Simpson, Room to Read’s chief program officer, “Canon’s in-kind investments in our literacy program is an inspired response to the lack of quality reading materials available for children in so many communities around the world. By partnering with Room to Read, Canon is impacting thousands of deserving children in South Africa, instilling in them a love and habit of reading.”
