While it's easy to judge a device's expense relative to the competition in terms of its initial capital cost, the issue of running cost is more difficult to assess. With running costs determined by a complex mix of factors, Bertl polled their end-users to learn how they viewed each of the manufactures overall cost.
After extensive testing it was no surprise that Kyocera Mita was honoured with the "End User Platinum Award" for Running Costs.
Kyocera wins Reseller Platinum Award
Resellers see both sides of the digital imaging commerce, representing the technology and marketing strategies of the manufacturers and matching the best solutions for end users. Just fewer than 1,000 enthusiastic and vocal resellers participate in BERTL's Readers' Choice survey to give their vote on which manufacture offers the best overall ability to offer devices and solutions that can still deliver a profit.
Kyocera is pleased to accept BERTL's Reseller Platinum Award for Profitability.
Kyocera Mita Wins Platinum Award for Reliability
Reliability is a major factor in maintaining productivity in any enterprise. That is why Kyocera MFPs have been awarded the BERTL Platinum Award for Monochrome Reliability.
Today the most important factor in reliability is not the hardware, but how users operate the machine. Servicing Dealers are looking to manufactures to reduce the time involved in maintaining a device throughout the contract life. One way of doing this is by using longer lasting components (like Kyocera's long life drum and developer) which require fewer callouts to engineers.
Kyocera Mita wins Platinum award for Monochrome Range
While colour is obviously showing an impressive growth in the market, monochrome is still the dominant form of printing. Kyocera has been awarded the BERTL Platinum Award for Monochrome Range 2005 due to its extensive mono range of over 20 reliable personal, workgroup and departmental printers and copiers.
