The TASKalfa 5551ci Color MFP Proven to be �Highly Reliable� In BLI Lab Tests
Osaka,
Japan � March 14, 2014 � KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc., one of
the world�s leading document solutions companies, today announced
that Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI) �Highly Recommends� the TASKalfa
5551ci color multifunctional product (MFP). BLI, a leading provider
of product intelligence for the imaging industry, also awarded the
KYOCERA TASKalfa 5551ci color MFP its �Winter Pick 2014� award
for �Outstanding 51- to 60-ppm A3 Color MFP.� The independent lab
pointed to the MFP�s reliability and overall performance as two
reasons for the strong recommendations.
When releasing the
results for the TASKalfa 5551ci, BLI cited speeds of 50
pages-per-minute (ppm) in color and 55 ppm in black, as well as
�above average scan capabilities, including small compressed color
scan file sizes and faster than average scan speeds in duplex mode.�
BLI also reported that the robust color MFP exceeded rated toner
yields for all four colors. Of equal importance was the MFP�s
ability to multitask. BLI found that the TASKalfa MFP �experiences
virtually no delays between jobs, and the number of print jobs that
can be sent to the device is limited only by memory
capacity.�
Perhaps most significant, BLI lauded the KYOCERA
MFP�s value. BLI�s objective pricing analysis revealed that �the
TASKalfa 5551ci is priced lower than average for comparably equipped
models, while providing a very good feature set that includes among
the highest standard memory and hard drive capacities, as well as the
highest maximum paper capacity, for competitive models.�
When
testing products, BLI addresses all key performance areas. The
TASKalfa 5551ci outperformed other MFPs in its class, receiving top
grades in reliability, multitasking, administrative utilities, ease
of use, ease of network setup, scan functions, feature set, and
value. BLI is a respected, independent supplier of analytic
information that buyers and IT directors trust to guide them when
purchasing imaging equipment.
