At BrockOA, we strive to provide you with the best innovation and technology available in the office automation world. We are proud authorized dealers of Epson products and were excited to hear that Epson has been honoured with two Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI) Pick awards in the summer award season.
Below is the press release from BLI announcing this recognition.
Speed, Versatility Meet Affordability
When compared with competitive scanners tested, the Epson WorkForce DS-760 and WorkForce DS-860 outperformed the competition, helping them earn Pick awards in their respective categories for the Summer 2014 award season. The 45-ppm (90 ipm) DS-760 stood out for its better than average media handling, productivity and value, and easy to use hardware and bundled scan software. Thanks to its larger than average 80-sheet ADF, the unit can scan a wider than average range of paper sizes. The DS-760 exhibited faster than average black-and-white and color speeds in the hardware throughput tests. When compared with competitive devices available, the unit’s estimated total cost of ownership is about 36 percent lower than average.
“Thanks to its user friendly design and better than average performance, the Epson WorkForce DS-760 can fit in any workgroup scanning environment looking for an affordable capture solution that can be up and running quickly,” said Joe Ellerman, BLI’s senior scanner technician.
“Epson has significantly expanded its document scanner product line over the last year, underscoring our commitment to delivering digital imaging solutions that meet a wide range of customer needs,” said Mark Pickard, senior product manager, Document Scanners, Epson America, Inc. “The WorkForce DS-760 and WorkForce DS-860 are two of our most powerful scanners to date and we are honored that they have been recognized by such a prestigious industry influencer.”
The 65-ppm (130 ipm) Epson WorkForce DS-860 exhibited better than average results for the majority of performance categories tested. Among the standout results include higher than average OCR accuracy for the majority of documents tested, faster than average speeds in the hardware throughput tests and the ability to accommodate a wider than average range of paper sizes. The unit also has an estimated TCO that’s about 41 percent lower than average.
“The Epson WorkForce DS-860 offers the total package: robust software, a rich feature set and an intuitive design all for a lower than average price,” said Lisa Reider, BLI’s senior product editor for scanners. “The DS-860 provides virtually everything needed to capture and route documents in fast-paced workgroup and departmental scanning environments.”
