Savin C2525
As the race for office color supremacy heats up, Savin
introduced its latest color MFP range, which includes the
Savin C2525. This four-in-line imaging system advertises a
maximum monochrome and color engine speed of 25 ppm
and sports a wealth of new features, improved functionality,
and a greatly improved walk up and desktop user
experience.
BERTL was granted first access to the Savin C2525 and
was immediately impressed by the scope of improvements
that have been added to the device.
Savin seems to have addressed virtually all of the hot
topics that are driving conversations surrounding office
MFP purchasing.
The most immediate change is the large full-color touch
screen delivering a walk-up user experience that leaves
competing units in its wake. Since time is everything and
the MFP is touted as much more than just a copier and
printer, an efficient user interface to maximize the
functionality of the device without grinding user productivity
to a halt is paramount.
While copy, print, and fax functions are all up to the usual
feature-rich standard that we expect from Savin, it is in
network scanning where the Savin C2525 raises the bar,
not only in Savin’s product line, but
across the entire industry.
It is a testimony to Savin’s
innovation that many of the
comments you will find in this
report’s “What We Would Like to
See” sections are features that no
device is currently offering, but are
features that are now within the
reach of technology that Savin is
offering today.
The device is not without its
weakness, as you will read within
the report, but they are far
outweighed by the productivity,
functionality and ease-of-use design
advantages that have earned this
device a 5-star rating from BERTL.
