Kyocera TASKalfa colour MFPs receive official Pantone® approval

Johannesburg, South Africa – May, 2013 – KYOCERA Document Solutions, a global leader in advanced imaging technology and practical document solutions, announced that Pantone LLC, the world-renowned provider of professional colour standards, has approved the TASKalfa 5550ci, 4550ci, 3550ci, and 3050ci MFPs for PANTONE Colour production capabilities.

Pantone approval is granted only after rigorous analysis. When testing the TASKalfa devices, the company’s colour scientists and colour analysts developed KYOCERA device-specific look-up tables, allowing users to print superior simulations of proprietary PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® Colours. Pantone scrutinised the output—along with the toner, driver, resolution, and engine of each TASKalfa device. Overall the results during this analysis were found to be exceptional.

“Pantone standardised colour systems, but the reproduction of those colours is reliant upon individual printing systems,” explaines Blake Grace, Hardware Product Manager for KYOCERA Document Solutions South Africa. “Those who use our TASKalfa MFPs have always known these devices produce sharp, vivid colours. Pantone has validated those claims—these four colour MFPs exceed the high standards that the company demands. They generate professional grade documents and collateral with accurate PANTONE Colours. With these approvals, Pantone has reenergised our commitment to enhanced image quality and accurate colour reproduction.”
