Why Choose Kyocera

When Kyocera first opened its doors, it produced industrial ceramic products. You might wonder how a company that specialised in industrial ceramics products ended up producing office copiers.

The two are more connected that you might ever think. In fact, Kyocera incorporates ceramics into its office copiers.

1. Reliability

When buying an office copier, you want something reliable. A reliable printer is less prone to misfeeds and breakdowns, thereby meeting your office’s performance and demands. Kyocera stands out in this regard.

Keypoint intelligence repeatedly recognises Kyocera when announcing its Buyer’s Lab Picks: “Testing over the past five years, every single one of Kyocera’s color copiers demonstrated excellent reliability, with every device scoring 10 out of 10.”

BLI also states:
“In the business world, time is money, and if a device has a jam or is down for service, that is lost productivity. With a misfeed rate that is among the lowest in class and zero service interventions required over more than 1.8 million impressions, Kyocera is a brand users can count on when they need a robust and reliable color copier to keep their team productive.”

Other brands also share recognition, but while those names change, Kyocera stays on top. Part of that reason is that it’s one of the best, if not the best when it comes to reliability. Some of the Kyocera’s awards include, but are not limited:

Waste Reduction
Reduction of storage requirements
Service cost saving
Simple and clean replacement process
Minimal downtime, as evidence by the tested devices completing 1,875,000 impressions with no service interruptions.
Excellent reliability, with tested devices completing testing with a misfeed rate of 1 per every 133,929 impressions

These copiers are designed to perform with little maintenance, making them ideal for offices worldwide.

2. Durability

Another important factor when choosing copiers or printers is how long they can ‘stay active’. They efficiently serve before maintenance is required.

Just like all other machines, proper maintenance is a must! If you peer inside most laser printers, you’ll find an imaging cartridge containing the toner, developer and drum. You can’t just replace the toner when using a machine with an imaging cartridge. The entire cartridge has to be replaced, meaning you’ll have to purchase a developer and drum each time you buy a new toner.

Most business owners don’t give much thought to that because that’s simply the way office copiers work. However, Kyocera has changed that. Kyocera’s ceramic drums are separate from the cartridge and toner. Instead of changing the drum with the toner it’ll last the lifetime of printing.

Kyocera also includes ceramic particles in their toner. These particles clean the drums when printing and copying, so you won’t have to service them as often. That will save you time and money, which are both critical when shopping for a multifunctional printer.

3. Print Quality

What is the need for having a copier or printer if the product quality is poor?

Kyocera machines offer excellent quality. This is because they use ceramic drums (the name Kyocera comes from ‘Kyoto’ and ‘ceramics’) which use less energy and are easy to clean. Kyocera started out as ceramic insulators for TVs, which is why their toners produce quality prints. Ceramic can be cleaned often, thereby mitigating ink smudges.

4. Cost

Cost is an essential factor when investing in a copier or printer.

Kyocera has an array of machines to choose from. No matter your budget, with Kyocera you will find a suitable machine that is within your budget. And it is cost-effective compared to other brands in a similar category.

Despite Kyocera being affordable, its maintenance is minimal with the right care. For instance, the drum is made in such a way that it stays as long as the machine, and the availability of information management and sharing capabilities makes a machine reduce unnecessary printing since soft copies can be stored and shared.

5. Sustainability

Going green is a necessity. We all want our future generations to have a better environment. Right?

Using its expertise in ceramics, the company manufactures its printing devices with ceramic drums, which use less energy and heat.

Kyocera toners are recyclable and reusable. Consumables for Kyocera are not frequently used as earlier explained. As a result, the demand for raw materials is low.

Kyocera Group is also recognised for its climate change initiatives. The company has set a target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 30 percent by the year 2030, a goal that’s been officially endorsed by the Science-Based Targets initiative.
