High-Quality Printers Offer Color and Monochrome Printing for Workgroups and Departments
ATLANTA—-March 
2006–Lanier Worldwide, Inc. today announced that it has won the “Color
Printer Line of the Year” Award, as well as three Fall 2005 “Pick of
the Year” awards from Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI), the leading
independent office products test lab and business consumer advocate.
The
winning line of color printers includes the Lanier LP332c and LP335c
for large workgroups, as well as the Lanier LP126cn color printer for
mid-size offices. Pick of the Year winners include the LP332c/LP335c
for Outstanding Large Workgroup Color Printer, the LP175hdn for
Outstanding Departmental Monochrome Printer, and the LP128n for
Outstanding Small Workgroup Monochrome Printer.
“Buyers Laboratory
is well-known for its rigorous testing and uncompromising standards of
evaluation,” said Dominic Pontrelli, vice president of Marketing for
Lanier. “It is extremely gratifying to win these awards, because they
show customers that we remain deeply committed to delivering powerful,
high-quality document management solutions for all kinds of
applications.”
In a series of tests conducted by BLI, the Lanier
color printers stood out for their performance, functionality, and
value, according to Anthony Polifrone, managing director for BLI.
“To
earn a Buyers Lab ‘Color Printer Line of the Year’ award, at least one
low-, mid-, and high-volume product from the printer line must be lab
tested by us and clearly demonstrate superior overall performance and
reliability in its respective category,” Polifrone said. “When pitted
against some very strong competitive color lines, the color printers
from Lanier did just that, and proved to be the best of the best in
each of these three volume categories.”
To determine its “Pick of
the Year” awards, BLI subjects products to competitive three-month
in-house testing, during which analysts assess reliability, ease of
use, total cost of ownership, print quality, productivity, and
efficiency.
“For any product to earn a BLI ‘Pick’ award, it must
display exceptional performance as judged by our expert team of
technical analysts and editors,” Polifrone said. “These three Lanier
printers clearly demonstrated such performance.”
The Lanier LP332c
and LP335c are network-ready laser printers that deliver up to 28 or 35
full-color, and up to 32 or 35 monochrome pages per minute at 1200 dpi.
Both offer advanced paper handling, security, and finishing
capabilities not found on most color printers in this class.
The
Lanier LP175hdn is a network-ready laser printer that produces up to 75
monochrome pages per minute, up to 1200 dpi. Capabilities include
professional finishing options and security features designed to
protect sensitive data.
The Lanier LP128n is a network-ready laser
printer that prints up to 28 monochrome pages per minute, with up to
1200 dpi resolution. It offers industry-standard connectivity and a
