“Canon offers an unbeatable value to small and home office environments with its MAXIFY GX6020/GX7020 devices,” said Kaitlin Shaw, Associate Director of A4 Hardware at Keypoint Intelligence. “They deliver standout user-friendliness and image quality. The devices’ high-yield MegaTank design contributes to their extremely low total cost of ownership, as well as their low user intervention rates. Intuitive touchscreens and print drivers, simple routine maintenance procedures, and flexible mobile support boost productivity even more. And to top it all off, the devices’ vibrant colour output can help marketing materials stand out from the crowd.”
“The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5100 Wireless All-in-One Supertank Printer Series offers low-volume environments strong performance and impressive usability,” Shaw added. “Thanks to its cartridge-free ink tank system that includes up to two years of ink in the box, total cost of ownership is significantly lower than the average of competitive models. Flawless reliability, strong user-friendliness, and a low user intervention rate means users will have more time for the most important tasks. Flexible mobile and cloud support make it easy and convenient for users to print and scan no matter where they are. Our lab technicians were also impressed with how vivid and consistent the device’s colour output was.”
Buyers Lab Picks stand alone in the industry and are hard-earned awards as they are based on rigorous testing, including an extensive durability assessment and evaluation of key attributes such as usability, image quality, and value. Each product that passes its lab test earns the Highly Recommended or Recommended Seal and a Certificate of Reliability, with the best performers qualifying as Pick contenders.
“HP has been recognised for its impressive variety of outstanding devices for small to mid-size workgroups, including several MPS-ready devices,” said Shaw. “The top-notch performance, usability, and functionality that we’ve come to expect from HP is showcased in all of the winning models: flawless reliability, along with comprehensive security capabilities and robust feature sets. All the winning devices are powered by HP FutureSmart Enterprise firmware and support HP JetAdvantage Security Manager, which have both passed our Security Validation Testing program. The models also delivered fast print speeds and offer strong user-friendliness. What’s more, the devices support a wide range of mobile options that make it easy for workers to continue staying productive even when they’re on the go. Plus, they all offer integration with numerous software applications that can help businesses save even more time and money.”
