Kyocera Mita America Earns Three Fall 2005 Pick of the Year Awards from Buyers Laboratory; Kyocera Products Commended for Superior Performance and Excellent Value
FAIRFIELD,
N.J.-DEC 2005–Kyocera Mita America, one of the world’s leading
document imaging companies, today proudly announced that it has
received three prominent awards from Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI), the
leading independent office equipment test lab and business consumer
advocate. BLI has awarded a Fall 2005 “Pick of the Year” award to the
Kyocera KM-1820, KM-6030 and the KM-8030 while conferring a “Highly
Recommended” rating on both the Kyocera KM-6030 and the Kyocera
KM-8030, identifying each model as “Best in Class” in the entire
industry.
“The KM-1820, KM-6030 and KM-8030 earned BLI ‘Pick of the
Year’ awards because all three products clearly demonstrated superior
performance as judged by our expert team of technical analysts and
editors,” said Anthony Polifrone, BLI’s managing director. “By earning
top marks in each category evaluated, all three products are winners
for their value, offering a robust feature set combined with a price
that is the lowest for comparatively equipped models.”
Bestowed
twice yearly, the “Pick of the Year” awards acknowledge products that
have given the best overall performances in BLI’s rigorous battery of
laboratory tests. BLI tests each product in critical performance areas,
including reliability, misfeed frequency, copy and print image quality,
copy and print productivity and efficiency, ease of use and economy.
“Consistent
productivity in the most demanding work environments is a requirement,
not an option. We are proud that these Kyocera products have been
chosen as the standard by which others should be measured,” said Peter
Hendrick, vice president of marketing, Kyocera Mita America.
“Recognition such as this from a well-respected business consumer
advocate such as BLI demonstrates to customers that they do not have to
compromise between performance and value when selecting an MFP.”
The Award Winners…
The
KM-8030 is a high-speed monochrome MFP that delivers 80 crisp pages per
minute and features industry a class leading standard 200-sheet dual
scan document processor. This permits larger quantities of originals to
be scanned from the same batch, an important time-saver in the busy
office environments where this product excels.
BLI has also awarded
a “Highly Recommended” rating on the KM-8030, commending the MFP as for
its “strong performance,” noting that it earned an “excellent” rating
in such categories as “reliability,” “applications compatibility,”
“toner yield,” “cost per page” and “value.” BLI went on to note that
the KM-8030 offers a “suggested retail price that is almost $10,000
lower than the average for comparably equipped units.”
The KM-6030,
also a “Highly Recommended” product, is an MFP designed with the same
combination of functionality and value that defines the KM-8030, though
at a different output speed. BLI noted that “in addition to proving to
be highly reliable,” the KM-6030 “earned good marks across the board –
for multitasking, productivity and image quality, as well as for
network connectivity aspects of performance.”
The KM-1820 is a
monochrome multifunctional product (MFP) rated at 18 pages per minute.
Perfect for small offices and workgroups, the KM-1820 offers robust
color scanning capabilities and an optional fax system. In its “Pick of
the Year” evaluation, BLI noted that the KM-1820 was the “top
performer” in the Segment 1 legal-size category, offering “impressive
performance for a very low cost.”
