2009 MAR 20 - (VerticalNews.com) -- RISO, Inc., a leader in digital printing technology, announced that a recent third party study verified that RISO's digital duplicators and HC5000 inkjet printer use up to 95 percent less energy than comparable toner-based printing devices. As part of a "comparative energy consumption test," Buyers Laboratory, Inc. (BLI) measured the energy usage of RISO printers against digital multi-functional printers (MFPs). In addition to demonstrating a substantial reduction in the overall amount of energy consumed, RISO printers were found to provide users with potential cost savings of thousands of dollars in energy consumption over a five-year lease.
"The results from BLI validate the energy efficiency claims that we have made around our digital duplicator and full color inkjet printers for some time," said David Murphy, vice president of marketing for RISO, Inc. "More than ever, it is important for businesses to make purchasing decisions that positively impact their bottom line. RISO printers are not only a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly solution, but these results prove that they are also the smartest investment for companies when it comes to their printing and copying needs."
The tests were conducted in BLI's 10,000-square-foot testing facility in Hackensack, NJ under ambient conditions of 72F (+/- 10 percent). BLI's lab evaluation tested RISO's CZ180, EZ220, EZ390 and EZ590 digital duplicators, which offer variable speeds from 60 to 130 pages per minute (ppm), along with the 120 ppm HC5500 inkjet printer. In addition to using significantly less energy at 60 ppm than the lower-speed MFP and printer models, the RISO units use less energy at 80 ppm and 100 ppm. Plus, all four duplicator models and the HC5500 inkjet printer offer energy costs that are considerably less than the comparable models tested.
