businessinfomag.uk magazine 16 Epson Celebrates wins in four Keypoint Intelligence 2025 Awards categories Epson secures two A4 Pick Awards, 2025 Scanner Line of the Year and an Outstanding Achievement Award in Reliability Epson has secured a range of accolades at industry analysts Keypoint Intelligence’s annual awards, securing praise for its Heat-Free business inkjet printers as well as for its business scanner line-up. The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-C5890 and the WorkForce Enterprise AM-C550 both secured 2025 Pick Awards in the A4 category having delivered a ‘strong performance in all print speed tests’. Further, the printers demonstrated ‘faster-thanaverage job streams and first-print-out-times that help make for productive, multi-user environments’. Their ‘simple operation’ and ‘impressive range of apps’ as well as ‘professional image quality’ and ‘cloud and mobile print support’ also drew recognition from Keypoint Intelligence. Further praise was directed towards Epson’s WorkForce Enterprise AM-C5000 which secured an Outstanding Achievement Award in Reliability. Karl Angove, Epson Europe said: “We’re thrilled to have received so much recognition during the Keypoint Intelligence 2025 Awards and are delighted that the efforts we make with our products and their capabilities have been recognised by such a prestigious analyst group. “Our Heat-Free business inkjet printers continue to help drive a shift away from laser printing. In December we formally announced that we have ended the sale of laser printers in Europe and successes such as these Keypoint Intelligence Awards help demonstrate how and why this has been possible.” Alongside its printers, Epson’s business scanner range also achieved recognition as the 2025 Scanner Line of the year. The range was identified for its ‘excellent performance during Keypoint Intelligence’s testing’ with the analyst group praising it as a ‘fresh, broad portfolio with strong features set that can meet and exceed the needs of different working environments.’ The range was further praised for its ‘exceptional ease of use, notable image quality and excellent software offering’.

This reduces IT complexity, vendor count and total cost of ownership, while ensuring consistent performance, security and reporting. “We also designed Kyocera Business Solutions very much with our channel partners in mind. Given the simplicity of the offering, partners can guarantee shorter deployment times, while opening up access to easier cross-sell opportunities and stronger differentiation in competitive bids.” For more information, visit: www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.co.uk/simplify MPS & DOCUMENT WORKFLOW What’s New in Printing & Scanning Graham Foxwell
