Konica Minolta's AIO bizhub 4020 wins BLI Summer Pick Award 2015

Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe (Konica Minolta) has received the BLI Summer Pick Award 2015 from Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI) for its A4 multifunctional "All In One! (AIO) printer bizhub 4020. The system was acknowledged as an "Outstanding AIO for small to mid-size workgroups". Key factors for this recognition have been its minimal downtime, its above average image quality or its support for Konica Minolta's mobile printing app PageScope Mobile, among others. BLI, an independent company who evaluates office document equipment and applications based on an extensive list of different criteria, gives its Pick Awards twice a year to those products and solutions that outperform their contenders in BLI's exhaustive lab tests.

"The Konica Minolta bizhub 4020 is easy to use thanks to My Tab, which lets users customize a tab in the drivers to simplify job programming, and the Konica Minolta INFO-Palette control panel with tablet-style navigation," said BLI Senior Test Technician Tony Maceri. "And because scanning is a key part of workflow, the unit's robust scanning, including the ability to send to several destination types and create profiles for frequent job settings, is a real advantage."

"The bizhub 4020 is an easy-to-use AIO that delivers reliability, quality output and a strong feature set, but its greatest strength is the value it brings to business users," said BLI Senior Analyst of Printers/A4 MFPs Marlene Orr."

"The bizhub 4020 was designed to fulfil all requirements of small to medium user groups, and we feel honoured by this award from BLI. Its reliability and ease of use make the bizhub 4020 the perfect tool for printing contracts, scanning colour documents to several destinations, or any daily task", said Julien Azzi, Product Manager, Office Printing, International Marketing Division, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe.

Twice a year with its Pick awards, BLI gives special recognition in each category to those products that provided the most outstanding performances in BLI's durability test is unique among office product evaluations and uniquely qualifies BLI to assess reliability, a critical factor for buyers and IT directors.

Other performance attributes evaluated include ease of use, media handling, productivity and value, among others. Each product that successfully passes BLI's lab test earns BLI's Recommended or Highly Recommended seal and a BLI Certificate of Reliability and the best performers qualify as Pick contenders.
