Kyocera honoured with esteemed BLI Awards from Keypoint Intelligence

Schiphol-Rijk, The Netherlands, 20th January, 2025 – Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management B.V., one of the world’s leading document solutions companies, has been honoured by Keypoint Intelligence with the 2025-27 Most Reliable A3 Brand Award as well as two 2025 Pick Awards for the TASKalfa MA3500ci and ECOSYS MA4000cix. These industry recognitions reaffirm Kyocera’s position as a leader in A3 and A4 innovation. 

The 2025-27 Most Reliable A3 Brand Award from Keypoint Intelligence, a leading market research firm, was presented to Kyocera following five years of rigorous testing of our full A3 range. In a controlled, conditioned lab environment, Kyocera A3 devices consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, achieving high volumes of impressions with remarkably low misfeed rates and no service calls. 

In fact, during the 3.35 million impressions produced during Keypoint Intelligence’s evaluation period, Kyocera’s A3 devices had only 17 misfeeds, equating to an average of just one misfeed for every 197,058 impressions. What’s more, over that five-year period, there were no device failures or service calls required. This award is testament to the outstanding reliability of Kyocera’s A3 long-life technology.

Meanwhile, the two Pick Awards honour our TASKalfa MA3500ci and ECOSYS MA4000cix for their faster-than-average job streams and first-print-out time, as well as above-average scan speeds, searchable PDF accuracy, and image quality. They offer all this while maintaining clean text and fine lines, bold solids, a distinct halftone range, and sharp business graphics, according to Keypoint Intelligence. 

These two award winners, also acknowledged for flexible media handling for output applications, serve as a reminder that Kyocera’s A4 MFPs can keep up with the demands of busy, multi-user workplaces without compromising on quality. 

Kozo Teramoto, Senior General Manager of Sales & Marketing at Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management B.V. says:

"We are honored to receive this recognition from Keypoint Intelligence, which validates our commitment to excellence and innovation."

“The reliability of our technology has been put to the test and shown that our devices can withstand and thrive under immense workloads and pressure. Maintaining quality over a long lifecycle is at the heart of our way of doing business, as these awards reflect.”

Kyocera’s ECOSYS concept embodies an innovative long-life design philosophy centered on creating sustainable and cost-effective printing solutions. This approach emphasizes durability, exceptional performance, and minimal environmental impact. The TASKalfa flagship product line further exemplifies this commitment with its advanced technology celebrated for its superior speed, reliability, and robust security features. 

Kyocera is constantly innovating new series of A3 and A4 devices, and these latest recognitions of our products inspire us to keep pushing for new heights of efficiency and excellence.
