Every Canon ferrule printers we sell, with specifications, consumables and the service bench that repairs them. Prices on request — tell us your volume and we will quote the machine that fits it.
Canon calls these cable ID printers rather than ferrule printers, and the Mk range is built around getting a long job out fast: the MK3000 and MK5000 will run tube, label tape, wrap-around tape, heat shrink and 4 mm ID strip, and the tube warmer accessory keeps feed consistent in a cold workshop, which is a real problem in a north Indian winter and the usual cause of a machine that misfeeds only in January.
Canon Mk1500
Mk1500
The cheapest way into Canon cable marking. 300 dpi like the rest of the range, but slower at 25 mm/sec and with a small memory — 7,500 characters across 25 files, which is fine for a contractor marking a panel at a time and restrictive for a manufacturer running repeat schedules. Full-cut only; no half-cut.

| Print method | Thermal transfer, 300 dpi |
|---|---|
| Print speed | 25 mm/sec, up to 35 pieces per minute |
| Memory | Approximately 7,500 characters, 25 files |
| Cutting | Automatic full-cut |

Canon Mk2600
Mk2600
The Mk1500 brought up to 40 mm/sec, with half-cut added and — the part that matters for anyone marking more than a few panels — a USB connection that reads CSV straight off a PC. Export the wire schedule out of your CAD package as CSV, load it, print the loom. That single feature is usually what justifies the step up from the Mk1500.

Canon MK3000
MK3000
The workhorse of the Canon range and the one most Indian panel builders end up on. Handles the full media set — PVC tube from 2.2 mm to 6.5 mm internal diameter, 6/9/12 mm label tape, wrap-around tape, heat shrink and 4 mm ID strip — and runs from AA cells if you need to take it to a site with no power. Uses the long 150 m RC-TU150B ribbon, so it is also the cheapest of the Canons per marker.
