No other color printer can match the FS-C5016N's price per page advantage in this class, according to Better Buys for Business

Fairfield, New Jersey, November 24, 2003 – Kyocera Mita, one of the world's leading document imaging companies, today announced that its FS-C5016N color/monochrome printer has been honored with the Editor’s Choice award from Better Buys for Business, a highly regarded testing organization of office imaging equipment.

“At little more than half the industry average for color printing cost, this printer is truly a standout in a very competitive environment,” said Steve Hannaford, editor, Better Buys for Business. “If you plan on using the printer extensively, and if you plan to produce lots of color pages, this is by far the most cost-effective letter/legal size printer on the market. We enthusiastically give it our Editor’s Choice Award.”
