Auckland, 22 January 2019 - Buyers Lab (BLI), the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging hardware, software, and services, announced that Sharp has won their prestigious 2019 Copier MFP Line of the Year award.
Given once a year, this award recognizes the vendor whose product line is deemed best overall based on its rigorous laboratory evaluations.
“Sharp’s copier MFPs have long been known for their quality, innovation, and ease of use, and its current line holds up to that standard,” said George Mikolay, Associate Director of Copiers/Production of Keypoint Intelligence.
“In addition to setting the bar for usability among its peers, overall reliability was tremendous throughout the line. In fact, a recent Buyers Lab award given to Sharp for Most Reliable Monochrome Copier MFP Brand 2018-2021 is a testament to the reliability of the company’s products past and present. With a standard retractable keyboard and feature-rich scan preview, a highly intuitive and customizable control panel (and the Command WorkStation-integrated control panel on machines like the MX-7090N and MX-8090N), seamless edge-to-edge booklet printing on standard 11" x 17" paper, and the innovative, award-winning web utility, building workflows is a cinch for walk-up users, key operators, and IT administrators alike.”
Sharp New Zealand’s Managing Director, Jan Nicol-Winitana, agrees. “It’s an honour to learn that the Buyers Lab have acknowledged the extensive research and development that we devote to our product lineup. User experience is an aspect of MFP production that has been too long forgotten. Winning this award is a attestation of our commitment to changing that.”
