companies, is proud to again be named the Most Reliable Monochome
multifunctional product (MFP) line, in a recent survey of service managers and
dealers. Kyocera Mita`s products earned a total overall reliability score of 8.4
(out of 10), as compared to the industry average of 7.9. Kyocera Mita has won
this particular award more than any other manufacturer - in three of the past
five years - while this survey has been conducted by Office Products Analyst, a
