In April of 1959, the Kyoto Ceramic Company was started by Dr. Kazuo Inamori in Japan. The company focused on creating fine ceramics in a factory environment. It wasn't until 1982 that this business was renamed Kyocera. In the beginning, Kyocera created a plethora of products from ceramics, like ceramic semi-conductors for NASA, and by the mid 1970 they had expanded to making even more products, like cutting tools, kitchen knives and ball-point pens.
In 1982, it became Kyocera, and soon the world's first portable laptop was designed. They also began producing digital cameras, film, CD players, turntables, cassette decks and receivers. Those ventures were short lived though.
In the year 2000, Mita Industrial was purchased by Kyocera. Mita was originally known for being a manufacturer of photo copiers. The two companies decided to merge together in order to create one company. This company Kyocera Mita can now be found in Osaka, Japan. In the year 2002, Kyocera became known for its copiers and printers, and by the year 2005, they were winning awards for being the most reliable on the market. Since then, Kyocera Mita has continued to win prestigious awards year after year.
Nowadays, Kyocera Mita is known for its wonderful networked document management systems. Kyocera sells wide format systems, multi-functioning products, color printers and monochrome printers. Their products offer copying, printing, scanning and faxing, and Kyocera Mita is known for their environment-friendly objects. These printers use an array of Kyocera Mita toner cartridges, and these toners are high quality and impressive.
Multiple monochrome printers are offered by Kyocera Mita. For instance, the Kyocera ECOSYS printers come standard with high yielding toner, long life technologies and durable photoreceptor drums. The cost of ownership on these machines is minimal. The monochrome MFPs can scan, fax, copy and print. They add efficiency to any office. For those who want color, color devices are available too. These use the same high quality as the ECXOSYS, but they add advanced paper handling options. The last type is wide-format products, which have a print width between 17 inches and 100 inches.
Kyocera may not be the oldest printer brand on the market, but it is one of the highest rated and most valued brands on the market. Offices can't go wrong with an addition of a Kyocera Mita product.
