The categories chosen by BLI for their importance to the end-user.

“Kyocera’s Summer 2017 Pick winners proved to be true workhorses, with exceptional reliability,” said George Mikolay, Associate Director of A3/Production for Keypoint Intelligence - Buyers Lab. “The devices have robust feature sets, very good usability, and seamless integration with business software and applications, all at lower than average price points, making them a strong value proposition.”

Maximum Uptime

Kyocera’s leadership in reliability is well established. The company’s long-life a-Si (amorphous silicon) drums are among the industry’s most durable. During the 2017 Summer Picks 6-month evaluation period, the TASKalfa 8052ci produced 400,000 impressions and 40,000 scans, with no misfeeds recorded and no service required.

Mobile Connectivity, Seamless Integration

Other areas of scrutiny in the BLI 2017 Summer Picks were mobile support, and seamless integration with embedded applications – areas crucial to today’s users, and categories in which the Kyocera devices also excelled.

“Through Kyocera’s HyPAS platform, businesses can leverage embedded and integrated solutions to reduce costs and boost security and user productivity,” said Mikolay.

The devices also support mobile printing via Wi-Fi Connect, NFC, Apple AirPrint™, Google Cloud Print™, and KYOCERA Mobile Print to accommodate on-the-go and BYOD-centric workers. 

Small Workgroups to Large Workgroups

The seven award-winning Kyocera color devices offer excellent value, providing professional output designed to meet the needs of companies in any industry. From small workgroups that require versatility, to marketing-focused groups that demand high-resolution and brilliant color, to larger document-intensive environments that need speed and reliability, these Kyocera color MFPs and ECOSYS printers exceed expectations.
