The following are some of the key reasons outlined by Keypoint Intelligence behind its decision to award the A3 Line of the Year Award to Kyocera. + Proven quality: Superior performance during Keypoint Intelligence’s testing across the entire A3 line. + Ahead of the curve: A fresh, broad portfolio that can meet and exceed the needs of hybrid working environments. + Priceless reliability: Consistently strong performance for reliability, ease of use, and image quality. + Sustainable success: The black toner bottle’s reusability as a waste toner container was deemed to be an excellent innovation to reduce waste that impressed the testing lab. When outlining the main factors behind Kyocera’s success in the Pick category, Keypoint Intelligence earmarked the consistently faster-than-average job stream and first print out times of Kyocera devices; the below-average colour scan file size, along with above-average searchable PDF accuracy; and the fact that Kyocera’s A3 devices are “easy to use and simple to maintain.” These awards would already fill most trophy cabinets to the brim, but we’ve cleared space for one more…Kyocera Crushes It In The High-Range Monochrome Copier MFP Spaces
Businesses can look ahead to the future with optimism by working with trusted partners. As these awards from Keypoint Intelligence demonstrate, Kyocera’s TASKalfa technologies stand as an unwavering guarantee of exceptional qualities. “Kyocera offers an excellent lineup of A3 MFPs — congratulations to the company on winning one of our coveted Line of the Year Awards!” said Anthony Sci, President and CEO of Keypoint Intelligence. “These devices delivered exceptional results and some of the noteworthy scan features and test data clearly point toward accelerating your digital transformation (DX) needs for today’s hybrid workplace.” For many organizations, digital transformation is a major cause of headaches. It requires a lot of time, energy, and money. That’s why they need technology that assists the transition instead of getting in the way. Unreliable printing devices that cause workflows to grind to a halt have numerous costly consequences, from frustrated employees to missed deadlines and lost business. To this end, the unrivaled reliability of Kyocera’s TASKalfa A3 printers offers numerous benefits that extend way beyond print speeds and volumes. As the latest BLI awards demonstrate, devices that work when you need them most are truly priceless. AAbout Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab
