Toshiba Wins BLI Winter 2021 Pick Awards From Keypoint Intelligence

LAKE FOREST, Calif., Jan. 12, 2021 — Global market intelligence company Keypoint Intelligence acknowledges Toshiba America Business Solutions' commitment to innovation by presenting the multifunction printer (MFP) provider two Buyers Lab 2021 Winter Pick Awards.  Toshiba's latest color, letter-size (A4) e‑STUDIO^™330AC and e-STUDIO400ACMFPs won the awards by blending ease of use, dynamic features and exceptional value.    

The respected market research company specifically selected Toshiba's e-STUDIO330AC as the Outstanding A4 Color MFP for Mid-Size to Large Workgroups and e-STUDIO400AC as the Outstanding A4 Color MFP for Large Workgroups.  Keypoint Intelligence (Winter and Summer for office hardware) Pick Awards are reserved for products having undergone rigorous testing within a year's time and deemed to be "Best in Class" by the company's experienced analysts and technicians.          

"Toshiba is an exceptional choice for mid-size and large workgroups seeking a color MFP," said Kaitlin Shaw, Keypoint Intelligence’s Associate Director of A4 Hardware. "For a significantly lower than average cost per page compared to in-class models, businesses get high-performing, user-friendly devices with excellent feature sets. And Toshiba’s Elevate platform enables integration with an array of solutions that can help reduce costs and boost productivity even further. The value propositions that these Toshiba MFPs offer to mid- and high-volume environments is truly remarkable."   

Toshiba's Award-Winning Features & Benefits  

• Impressive ease of use: 
  • Toshiba's recently-introduced A4 MFPs, like the company's ledger-size (A3) models, tout large (10.1-inch) and intuitive touchscreens as well as the company's Elevate^™ user interface, which permit effortless, walk-up programming.  The print systems' integrated duplex single pass feeders (DSPF) further enhance user efficiency by copying and scanning (to file or email) single-sided originals at up to 120 double-sided impressions-per-minute.  The Toshiba MFPs' 150,000 maximum page duty cycle and up to 18,400-page toner yield also equip organizations with significant flexibility to complete virtually any print project.  
• High-quality output, powerful productivity and reliability: 
  • The e-STUDIO330AC and e-STUDIO400AC produce 35 and 42 exceptionally high-quality pages-per-minute respectively at an under seven-second first-copy-out-time.  Toshiba's newest A4 systems also set the industry standard for perfect reliability with zero misfeeds during Keypoint Intelligence's testing.  
• Premium Features: 
  • Toshiba's unique Elevate UI platform creates substantial time-savings and efficiency by automating routine workflows for individual employees as well as entire departments.  The company's UI easily integrates with Toshiba and third-party solutions to further increase business productivity.
