Kyocera Looks To Make Its Mark With Dealers At 2010 Dealer Meeting
By George Mikolay, Senior Product Editor, A3/Copier MFPs, April 27, 2010
FS-C2126 MFP
The theme of the Kyocera’s recent dealer meeting held in Orlando, FL was “Building the Future…Together,” and with 85 percent of Kyocera’s revenue coming from its dealers in North and South America, the message is sincere. On the surface, it appears as if Kyocera’s dealer strategy over the past 12 to 18 months, in which the company introduced more than 30 new products to its Kyocera and Copystar dealers, as well as an industry-first three-year dealer warranty to cover all new MFPs, is paying dividends. Kyocera went from 23 single-line Alliance dealers in March of 2009 to 182 currently. The company plans to keep expanding the Alliance program by doing more of the same, announcing plans to launch 22 new product models this fiscal year. The company is also implementing a strategy to support its dealers in developing Managed Print Services (MPS) offerings, as well as a comprehensive HyPAS Developer Support Program.
On The Hardware Side
Models introduced at the meeting included a series of color and monochrome A4 multifunctional printers, eight new color A3 MFPs ranging from 20 to 70 pages per minute (ppm) in color, seven monochrome A3 MFPs ranging from 25 to 80 ppm, as well as color and monochrome ECOSYS printers. On the A4 MFP front, the FS-3040MFP and FS-3140MFP are slated for a June launch, as Kyocera looks to strongly position itself in the 40 ppm black-and-white A4 space. Designed from the FS-3920 printer engine, which demonstrated excellent reliability in BLI’s lab testing, the FS-3040MFP and FS-3140MFP will feature standard print, copy and color scan, as well as standard fax on the FS-3140 model. Both A4 models will also feature standard duplexing and Kyocera’s ASi drum, with a PM cycle of 300,000 impressions.
Launching in July, the 3-in-1 FS-C2026MFP and the 4-in-1 FS-C2126 MFP will offer rated speeds of 28 ppm and incorporate Kyocera’s micro-particle toner technology. Featuring standard color print, copy and scan, as well as black-and-white fax on the FS-2126, these A4 color models will feature a standard duplexing, along with a maximum paper capacity of 1,300-sheets. USB host printing and scanning will also be available.
