Ramsey, NJ, Jan. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Konica Minolta is proud to announce it has received 12 Buyers Lab (BLI) Awards from Keypoint Intelligence, the world\u2019s leading and independent evaluator of document imaging hardware, software and services. This is an acknowledgment of the capabilities of Konica Minolta\u2019s multi-functional peripheral devices (MFPs) with the leading industry awards. All devices are from Konica Minolta\u2019s new bizhub i-Series<\/a>, underlining the successful relaunch of the company\u2019s MFP range. In addition to 10 BLI 2021 Pick Awards for its bizhub A3 MFPs, Konica Minolta secured the BLI 2021 A3 Line of The Year Award. Based on long-term comprehensive testing, Konica Minolta was further acknowledged with the BLI 2021-2023 Most Color Consistent A3 Brand Award.<\/p>\n

\n

Companies demand consistent quality, reliability and the highest levels of usability from their office printers \u2013 and it is in exactly these areas that Konica Minolta\u2019s A3 bizhub i-Series range impressed the testers from Keypoint Intelligence. Twelve Konica Minolta bizhub A3 MPFs received the Highly Recommended overall rating for outstanding performance in Keypoint Intelligence lab testing. Ten of those models earned Pick Awards in their respective segments: bizhub C250i, C300i, C450i, C550i, C650i, 300i, 360i, 450i, 550i and 750i. This earned Konica Minolta additionally the \u2018BLI 2021 A3 Line of the Year\u2019 award.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThank you to Keypoint Intelligence for this honor. We are tremendously proud to be recognized for the best A3 product line in the market,\u201d said Dino Pagliarello, Senior Vice President, Product Management and Planning, Konica Minolta Business Solutions, U.S.A., Inc. \u201cAs an organization that has expanded into many different areas, we have remained true to this industry and driving our core business by continuing to incorporate advanced technology and functionality to improve customer experience. Winning BLI\u2019s 2021 A3 Line of the Year Award is a testament to our unwavering dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

This underlying philosophy in product design is the basis for the high usability of the devices and offers a high degree of end-to-end ease of use. For example: The large control panels provide easy access to all basic settings and touch navigation for a pleasant and effective user experience. The panel can be fully customized with all tools and apps a specific user most frequently needs. Further, the preinstalled MarketPlace on all devices gives access to a wide range of cloud offerings.<\/p>\n

\n

The BLI 2021-2023 Most Color Consistent A3 Brand further shows that Konica Minolta\u2019s MFPs are able to deliver repeatable high-quality printing results: For this award, BLI analyzed color consistency for well over 20 years and the last five years of results have been included in this evaluation. Technicians print IT8 color charts at specific test points throughout a device\u2019s reliability test, which are then measured using Xrite i1Profiler software together with the i1Pro2 spectrophotometer\/iO table combination.<\/p>\n
