Ricoh Colour Printers sweep BLI Awards
The six Ricoh colour printers tested by BLI outperformed those of other vendors in several key areas.
“A clear testament to the breadth, quality and value of its colour printer portfolio, Ricoh has now received the ‘Most Outstanding Colour Printer Line’ three times since the award’s inception in 2005’, said BLI Senior Printer Analyst Marlene Orr.
“To once again receive the ‘Colour Printer Line of the Year’ is truly an honour for Ricoh, as we take pride in the diversity of our product offering and ability to meet – and exceed – our customers’ colour needs,” said Philip Henry, General Manager of Marketing for Ricoh Australia.
“Having previously won this award in two consecutive years, we’re thrilled to be recognised again as it highlights our steadfast commitment to constantly improving our product line in order to stay on top of the market and be considered the ‘go-to’ source for advanced colour printing solutions,” Henry added.
Ricoh also received a number of other awards, including ‘Outstanding Departmental Colour Printer’ for the Aficio SP C821 series, ‘Outstanding Large Workgroup Colour Printer’ for the Aficio SP C820 Series and ‘Outstanding Small Workgroup Colour Multifunctional Printer’ for the Aficio SP C232SF.
“Each product we develop has a specific purpose, however, the common thread that runs through all of them is a commitment to reliability, quality printing and ease of use that helps companies improve their productivity and bottom-line results,” said Philip Henry, General Manager of Marketing for Ricoh Australia.
He added, “We are excited that our products are being recognised for providing outstanding service in several categories ranging from business inkjet printers to large workgroup colour printers, as it demonstrates the depth and reach of our product portfolio.”
Offering printers in every category of the colour market, from inkjet and small workgroup models, to large workgroup and departmental models, Ricoh printers are designed to meet the diverse needs of business users.
“Not only are Ricoh printers easy to use, set up and manage on the network, thanks to Ricoh’s outstanding utilities, but they also offer high toner and ink yields, which translates to decreased downtime and low cost per page,” said BLI’s Orr.
