Kyocera TASKalfa Multifunctional Devices (MFDs) receive accolades for image quality, ease of use and best value

Kyocera Mita, one of the world's leading document solutions companies, has been recognised with 2009 BERTL’s Best Awards for its TASKalfa® Multifunctional Devices (MFDs).

BERTL, Inc., is a leading news, research and critical analysis service for the office technology industry. Over the last several months, BERTL analysts have evaluated hundreds of digital imaging devices, software, and management utilities in the worldwide marketplace. BERTL analysts reviewed current product lines and new product introductions to identify the select group of devices and software that stand apart from the others. BERTL’s Best covers the entire digital imaging and document management arena.

The awards support Kyocera’s mission to offer document imaging solutions that provide superior image quality, unsurpassed performance and ultra-reliability, while also minimising both Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and their environmental impact.

TASKalfa 500ci Colour MFD Series
Building on the successful launch of the TASKalfa 500ci colour MFD series in late 2008, BERTL has recognised the TASKalfa 500ci series with:

Validating the industry excitement that has surrounded the launch of the TASKalfa brand, BERTL Labs recently certified each device in the TASKalfa 500ci series with Five Star ratings for their high colour quality, impeccable reliability and the ease of use for performing tasks. For the Five Star rating, each product was put through vigorous testing by BERTL technical analysis to gauge device performance and consistency.
