DataMaster Lab is the European centre of print expertise. DataMaster Lab has been testing printing equipment since 2009. The teams have tested multifunction printers, digital presses and A4 machines too. They have carried out over 10,000 individual tests on 350 machines.
The Awards are for A3/Ledger MFPs in various segments.
Today’s Awards are for First Copy Out Time.
DataMaster Lab teams’ aim is to help you to tell the difference between machines. Test personnel compare how a machine performs in real-world scenarios – compared to the data provided by the manufacturer’s marketing materials.
The time it takes a copier to deliver its first sheet in a copy run is usually far, far longer than the FCOT specified by the manufacturer – up to FIVE TIMES LONGER! The test is run several times, on a warmed-up machine, and we publish the best result obtained. The results are absolute – the time it takes, in seconds.
The winners of these awards do not keep their users waiting around – and their manufacturers’ marketing materials are amongst the most accurate too.
