Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc.'s (http://business.toshiba.com) e-STUDIO407cs multifunction product (MFP) series was recognized by Better Buys for Business for winning the office equipment analyst group's  April/May 2013 Editor's Choice Award within the color copier category. 

The leading managed document services (MDS) provider and business printing solutions innovator's newly introduced products - unveiled last month - were recognized for offering striking image quality and advanced security functionality within a compact and durable design - at a reasonable price. The e-STUDIO407cs series presents small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) with the vibrant color output and performance levels typically reserved for enterprise environments.  As a result of its premium image quality and up to 42 pages-per-minute speed, the company's latest devices are capable of producing the eye-catching brochures, fliers and presentations SMBs are seeking to produce.    

Toshiba's new devices combine security- and eco-rich elements sure to resonate with information technology personnel and environmentally-conscious employees alike.  In addition to incorporating the world's first Self-Encrypting Drive providing an elite level of data protection the e-STUDIO line include a Super Sleep Mode and low-temperature fusing toner to significantly reduce energy consumption.

 "We are honored our newest e-STUDIO line was recognized by one of the nation's leading independent authorities on office equipment," said Joseph Contreras, director of product and solutions marketing for Toshiba America Business Solutions.  "Through the availability of our new A4 line, we now outfit SMBs with the exceptional print quality typically reserved for larger organizations while offering the low cost-per-page in line with what this audience can afford."

"The e-STUDIO407cs series is a good buy for small or medium-sized offices that need full multifunctionality with color without requiring ledger-sized copying or printing," said Melissa Pardo-Bunte, editor at Better Buys for Business.  "There are strong features included in these compact but scalable devices.  This family gets our Editor's Choice Award."

Last year Toshiba won Better Buys for Business' annual Innovative Product of the Year, given to the manufacturer with the best products within a respective product category.
