The OEM is again celebrating Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab’s seal of approval after winning three BLI Summer 2019 Pick awards for its MFP devices.
Awarded twice a year, BLI Picks acknowledge the office equipment and products that scored highest in Buyers Lab’s extensive lab tests over the previous six months. Ricoh’s IM C2000 and IM C2500 impressed in the low-end to mid-range colour copier MFP spaces with a high-quality user experience. The Ricoh IM 350F was also highlighted as the best choice for mid-size workgroups looking for a monochrome MFP.
George Mikolay, Associate Director of Copiers/Production at Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab, said: “Ricoh continues to impress us with its new machines. The IM C2000 and IM C2500, along with the Winter 2019 Pick-winning IM C4500, shine a light on the company in the low-end to mid-range colour copier MFP spaces. The user experience is top-notch, thanks to a large, highly intuitive, Android-based touchscreen that offers user-by-user customization. Image quality is very good, and these devices also continue to set the industry benchmark for scanning with Ricoh Intelligent Scanning.”
Tony Maceri, Senior Test Technician at Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab, commented: “The feature-rich Ricoh IM 350F is the best choice for mid-size workgroups looking for a monochrome MFP they can count on to keep them productive. In addition to being very easy to use and maintain, it delivered a flawless reliability performance and class-leading duplex scan speeds. It comes standard with Ricoh’s Smart Operation Panel, featuring a large Android-style display, web browser, and the ability to select from a wide range of Ricoh smart apps. The Ricoh IM 350F stands out in so many ways and was the clear winner in the mid-volume monochrome category.”
