Panasonic System Networks Company of America today announced it has
received Wirth Consulting's prestigious Outstanding Performance in
Hands-On Testing awards for its SOHO-centric laser-class KX-MB2061
"8-in-1" office and imaging communications system and its KX-MB2030
laser-class network printer, copier, color scanner, and fax MFP.
"The KX-MB2061 really impressed us with its seamless integration
of advanced office imaging with 'traditional' voice communication,"
Wirth evaluators reported in bestowing the award. "At $249.95
(MSRP), its overall quality makes it a great deal to begin with,
but for any startup small or home office that wants to upgrade
their imaging/communications hub and their phone system, it's an
outright bargain."
In hands-on performance testing, the KX-MB2061 was cited for its
high-speed 23.78ppm(1), "super-fast 12.2 second warm-up time,"
robust build quality, and ability to produce "crisp black text" at
font sizes as small as four points.
Noting that it has zero "limitations" in the areas of image
quality, printing performance, scanning, and faxing, Wirth praised
the KX-MB2061 as a "really innovative new product that brings the
concept of a multifunctional office-imaging device to a new level
as it centralizes network print, copy, network color scan, fax, and
voice communication into a highly efficient and competent
system."
The sub-$200 (MSRP) KX-MB2030 took Wirth's Best in Class honors
as well as an Outstanding Performance in Hands-On Testing award.
This model packs network printing, network color scanning
multi-format copying with a 20-sheet ADF, Super Group 3 walk-up
fax, PC fax and scan-to-email capability into a compact,
eco-friendly form factor.
"What a great product!" Wirth Consulting President Terry Wirth
said, citing the KX-MB2030's class-leading "design, execution and
performance... if you're in the market for a gray scale laser MFP
for your small or home office, this one is for you."
Acknowledging the awards, Panasonic System Networks Company of
America Product Specialist Joseph Odore said: "Many
business-machine analysts base their recommendations almost
entirely on performance test results, but Wirth goes a significant
step beyond that. Wirth filters its lab results through a screen of
end-user expectations in areas like ease of installation and
maintenance, software quality, network compatibility and job
management.
"We are proud to accept Wirth's Outstanding Performance in
Hands-On Testing awards because they validate the KX-MB2061 and
KX-MB2030's success as technologically advanced, enterprise-class
communications solutions scaled to meet the workload, operating
environment, and budgetary realities of small to mid-sized
multiple-employee offices, home-based entrepreneurs, and
self-employed professionals."
