Savin C2525
The Savin C2525 is a true next-generation
product demonstrating a new level in MFP
design.
The user has been placed firmly at the center of
the design concept for the device with every new
feature seemingly added to make the experience
shorter and more accurate for the user, be it a
copy, print, print on demand, or scan operation.
Savin has managed to strike a perfect balance,
raising the bar in the office color MFP
marketplace while maintaining sufficient
similarities to its past devices. The learning curve
for existing customers will be short for features
they already use, and they can take advantage
of the new features with little to no training
requirement.
There are no obvious areas of weakness on this
device. While this report includes “What we
would like to see” references, most are a wish
list that builds upon features and technologies of
the device that would extend the feature set
even further—rather than bringing the device up
to the par of rival devices
As with all MFPs today, the feature set is way beyond that
of any single user, and—much like software—many
environments will never using more than 10 percent of the
capabilities of the product. However, as the business world
becomes more and more focused on workflow, the need to
offer a diverse feature set to cater to as many vertical
sector environments as possible will continue to grow.
The biggest challenge for Savin’s sales force will not be
describing what the device can do, but rather knowing
which of the features the device offers are going to be of
benefit to the customer they are facing.
We would recommend that buyers put together a list of the
workflow tasks they are currently carrying out, or wish to
carry out and use this as a starting point when sitting down
with a sales representative to discus the merits of the
Savin C2525.
