Samsung Printers Bag BLI Outstanding Achievement Awards

Samsung Electronics announced its mono, color laser and MFPs all won awards at the Buyers Laboratory (BLI) Pick Event.

The Xpress M2875/2825 series and ProXpress M4020ND printers won in the Performance category while the CLP-6260 FW, CLX-6260FD, and CLP-680 Series printers triumphed in the Environment category. The printers received Outstanding Achievement awards, the independent authority’s highest accolade. Three of Samsung’s monochrome devices grabbed awards in the Personal Printer, Personal MFP and A4 Small Workgroup Printer categories.

This recognition demonstrates the devices’ reliable, affordable and eco-friendly attributes. Samsung Color Laser and MFPs were awarded for energy efficiency. When compared to competitor products, the CLX-6260FW and CLX-6260FD models were praised for remarkable energy savings. BLI’s tests found that the two 25 ppm printers used 52% less power annually than comparable A4 color MFPs. The CLX-6260FW also has fast recovery times from sleep mode.

Joosang Eun, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Samsung Electronics, said, “Samsung’s Mono, Color Laser and Multi-function printers reflect our commitment to create powerful, attractive products that meet consumer demands for performance, cost efficient and energy efficiency.” Mr. Eun added, “We are honored by the awards from BLI and we consider them excellent recognition of our continued efforts in discovering new possibilities in printer innovation.”

BLI Senior Analyst for A4 MFPs and Printers, Ms. Marlene Orr, commented, “The ProXpress M4020ND is a great choice for small workgroup environments, offering a combination of speed and very good output quality and a low cost of ownership. For individuals in need of an affordable personal device, the compact Xpress M2825DW and Xpress M2875 Series help users save money and the environment, thanks to such ‘green’ features as standard duplexing and Samsung’s Easy Eco Driver.”

BLI Test Technician Joe Tischner said, “BLI’s ‘Outstanding Achievement in Energy Efficiency’ award honors devices that exceed expectations and raise the bar in regards to energy consumption and general environmental performance. The CLX-6260FW earned this award for its substantially lower energy consumption when compared against its peers, as well as its advanced environmental feature set, which provides a more complete environmental solution for eco-conscious consumers.”
