“Canon’s new mid-range A3 colour portfolio proved to be the top-rated option this BLI Summer Awards season for medium-size to large businesses,” said George Mikolay, Keypoint Intelligence’s Associate Director of A3 Hardware/Production. “All three devices proved to be exceptionally reliable as well as very easy to use from a walk-up, workstation, and service perspective. The “know one, know all” philosophy will make the transition from one speed band to the next seamless based on the workload needs of different environments. Image quality will have no problem meeting the demands of general office use and more marketing-intensive purposes.”
“The KYOCERA TASKalfa 2554ci and TASKalfa 3554ci exhibited outstanding durability and should easily meet the needs of small to mid-size workgroups,” said Mikolay. “In addition, the consistency in design and excellent overall usability from the drivers and control panel make the engines equally easy to use whether printing or walking up to scan or copy, regardless of which machine is closest to a user’s particular workspace. Very good image quality results when printing colour business graphics and colour photos, excellent text and halftones, and bold solids mean the devices can be relied on to produce many different types of output.”
