Panasonic System Networks Company of America today announced that
its value-priced, high-speed KX-MB2000 laser printer, scanner, and
copy machine has been named an Editor's Choice Award winner by PC
Magazine.
The magazine reported that the Panasonic KX-MB2000
multi-function network printer earned its Editors' Choice Award
after rigorous comparison-testing by PC Magazine Labs'
office-machine analysts.
Describing it as a "terrific fit for a micro or home office," M.
David Stone, PC Magazine's Lead Analyst for Printers, Scanners, and
Projectors, praised the KX-MB2000 for its high-speed,
cramped-office-friendly compact footprint, network printing and
color scanning, 250-sheet paper capacity, and "bargain" price
point.
"Considering the price," Mr. Stone wrote, "the KX-MB2000 is
extraordinarily fast, with times on our tests that are fully
appropriate for the 24-page-per-minute (ppm) engine rating. On a
wired network using Windows Vista, I timed it on our business
applications suite (using Quality Logic's hardware and software for
timing) at a total of 7 minutes 45 seconds. That's essentially a
tie with (a) significantly more expensive (major brand
competitor)."
"Our conceptual goal with the KX-MB2000 was to deliver a fast,
high-quality machine that could perform the basic tasks of
printing, copying and scanning for a price that virtually any
company -- even those just entering the incubator stage -- can
afford," said Bill Taylor, President of Panasonic System Networks
Company of America.
"The award is quite an honor," Mr. Taylor added, "one we
especially appreciate because it validates everything we wanted to
achieve with the KX-MB2000. We had a vision of the perfect solution
for a niche we knew didn't have the same budget as larger firms. We
are gratified at the market reception of our efforts."
With a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of under $130,
which includes a robust bundle of Panasonic office-enabling
software, "You're essentially paying for a single function personal
printer and getting the scanner, copier, and network support thrown
in for free," Mr. Stone concluded. "Factor in the fast speed,
better than expected paper capacity, and more than acceptable
output quality, and the KX-MB2000 easily qualifies for our Editors'
Choice as a budget personal and micro-office mono MFP."
