Sharp Imaging was selected for the 2008 BERTL’s BEST award for “Most Secure Multifunctional Peripheral (MFP) Range” Award, making this the fifth straight time the company has won the award in this category.

Sharp MFPs ensures security at every step of the document lifecycle, right from the initial scan to the final output and distribution with a host of network authorization and security options, including Kerberos, IPSEC and SSL. These allow users to easily control and monitor the Sharp MFP. By utilizing account codes, user/group profiles, passwords, external user accounts or access cards, Sharp users can prevent and limit unauthorized access to each device. These machines also include advanced fax and email security features.

The BERTL’s Best awards are recognition for the best devices and software in the digital imaging marketplace, accorded after a thorough review of hundreds of digital imaging devices, software and management utilities.



Epson has introduced a new model, the Epson Stylus NX400, of a new generation of all-in-one printers that provides printing, scanning and copying, combining great performance and convenience. Moreover, the printer can provide excellent results on plain, photo and specialty papers. The printer uses Epson’s DURABrite Ultra ink which is smear- and smudge- resistant; in fact, even the plain-paper prints can reportedly last about 6 times longer that comparable models. The machine can deliver up to 34 ppm for black and color text documents, 4” x 6” borderless photos in as fast as 26 seconds, and up to 30 cpm for both black and color copies. The photocopying and scanning capabilities make it ideal for preserving important documents and photos digitally with one-touch color copying and high-quality scanning. Moreover, this MFP integrates a single-touch standalone copying feature for photos and documents, with the option to reduce and enlarge black and white or color copies from 25 to 400 percent and quickly enlarge 4” x 6” and 5” x 7” photos up to letter size.
