Minolta South Africa has introduced the award-winning multifunctional Dialta Color CF3102 and CF2002 copier/printers that deliver exceptional quality, high copy and print productivity, superior finishing options, extensive print on demand capabilities, the industry`s most advanced copier memory functionality and a 30% price advantage over its major competitor.
The CF3102 and CF2002 are 31- and 20-page-per-minute digital colour copier/printers built for general office environments and designed to offer versatile networking capabilities to facilitate seamless communication and smooth workflow.
Minolta colour division product manager Marianna Gdanis says these products can be used not only as a full colour copiers and printers, but offer a full document management solution. "The CF3102 and CF2002 can be used to scan images either to e-mail, directly to your PC/network or hard drive. This information can then be archived, shared or even manipulated and then output to the engine with a host of versatile finishing options such as stapling, hole-punching and booklet creation.
"This leading-edge technology uses the internet to distribute documents, therefore making it fast, accessible and inexpensive," says Gdanis.
The CF3102 and CF2002 colour copier/printers have been awarded a five star "Exceptional" rating from Bertl Digital Test Lab for their "combination of high print and copy productivity, functionality, extensive finishing options and aggressive price".
Bertl tests approximately 200 different competitive products each year and historically, only six to 12 of those products receive the prestigious five star "Exceptional" rating. Bertl awards the five star "Exceptional" rating to products that are innovative, productive, highly functional, have great design qualities, outstanding image quality and a great price.
Gdanis says Minolta is proud that the CF3102 and CF2002 colour copier-printers have been recognised by Bertl with a five star rating once again. "Last year our CF1501 and CF2001 received the award. Product evaluation by testing labs such as Bertl should give consumers confidence that our colour products do what we say they will, which is provide outstanding colour output at a very affordable price," she says.
In addition, Better Buys for Business recently awarded an "Editor`s Choice" award to Minolta`s CF3102 and CF2002 colour copier/printers in the "Affordable" category of their 2003 Colour Copier Guide.
Editor of Better Buys for Business, Jonathan Bees, writes: "The CF2002 and CF3102 have a lot going for them in terms of penetrating the office colour market. They offer excellent colour speed for the money and their black-and-white speed should meet the needs of most users. Further, paper handling capabilities are excellent, as is image quality, and the machines prices will fit within the budgets of most cost-sensitive corporate buyers."
