Brother Provides Brilliant Color Output and Tremendous Value
The Brother HL-L9310CDW offers the right mix of features, performance, and value for small and medium-sized businesses. “We were impressed by the Brother HL-L9310CDW’s vibrant color output, which is ideal for internal documents, client communications or marketing materials,” said Tony Maceri, Senior Test Technician for Keypoint Intelligence - Buyers Lab. “The touchscreen greatly simplifies walk-up printing, while robust mobile and cloud support keeps workers productive. And businesses get all of this for a lower-than-average total cost of ownership.”
Canon Offers High-Quality Color and Peak Performance for Busy Workgroups
Canon’s excellent color printers and MFPs surpassed the competition, with three of its devices taking home Pick awards. “Canon offers a range of award-winning color models for teams of all sizes,” said Marlene Orr, Director of Printer/MFP Analysis for Keypoint Intelligence - Buyers Lab. “The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C355iF and C255iF provide high-level functionality in a compact footprint. And, thanks to a large, highly intuitive, smartphone-style interface, both promise to keep workers productive. For those that need only printing, the Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn is robust choice, with fast speeds, flexible mobile support, and high-quality output.”
Dell Shines in the Mid-Size Workgroup Category
Dell won two awards in the mid-size workgroup color category this season. “Both the Color Smart Multifunction Printer S3845cdn and the Color Smart Printer S3840cdn offer key functionality for a low total cost of ownership,” said Orr. “Their intuitive touchscreen interfaces make programming jobs simple, while a wide range of mobile support means workers can print from anywhere. And the ability to print from or scan to Microsoft SharePoint On-Premises right from the control panel adds even greater flexibility.”
Xerox Devices Win with Intuitive Design and Modern Functionality
Xerox took home three Picks for their outstanding color printers and MFPs. “The Xerox VersaLink C400 Series and C405 Series bring ConnectKey technology to the desktop to streamline workflows and add functionality, while the Xerox WorkCentre 6515 Series provides small workgroups an affordable option with an intuitive design,” said Maceri. “All three provide high-quality output, whether in black, color, print, or copy mode, and robust mobile support increases their value proposition even further.”
