Kyocera Mita’s ECOSYS technology delivers exceptionally low operating costs without sacrificing high quality output

Fairfield, New Jersey, July 30, 2003 - Kyocera Mita, one of the world's leading document imaging companies, announced today that it has been awarded the Most Cost-Effective Printer Technology award from internationally known Business Equipment Research and Test Laboratories (BERTL). This award further validates Kyocera Mita�s commitment to lowering its customer�s total cost of ownership (TCO) as well as providing an environmentally friendly product, which maintains the highest quality output.

“Kyocera Mita is honored to receive BERTL’s Most Cost-Effective Printer Technology award,” said Michael Pietrunti, vice president, marketing for Kyocera Mita America. “BERTL’s recognition further supports our claims that Kyocera Mita offers the lowest printer TCO in the industry today. This commitment was further reinforced with Kyocera Mita’s introduction of the FS-C5016N, the first color printer in the 11-20 page segment to offer a color page for less than five cents.”

“The core of ECOSYS is a Kyocera Mita patented long life amorphous silicon drum which has a much longer life than traditional network printer imaging/toner cartridge units and can last up to a half million impressions without being thrown away,” said Carmel Rowley, CEO BERTL. “This not only reduces landfill waste, but also reduces the cost per page significantly. When BERTL analysts performed an accelerated 24-hour continuous print test, Kyocera Mita’s ECOSYS technology easily beat its competition, with reliability as good or better than products it was tested against.”

Fairfield, New Jersey, March 12, 2003 �??

Kyocera Mita is a group company of Kyocera Corporation, the world's leading developer and manufacturer of advanced ceramics and associated products, including telecommunications equipment, semiconductor packages and electronic components.

Product Leadership

Kyocera's global leadership in printer technology was combined with Mita's strength in copiers and multi-functional products when the two companies merged in 2000. Kyocera Mita has leveraged this combined strength to manufacture a complete line of award-winning digital imaging products and their advanced ceramic components, including a long-life drum unit and engine that are common on all Kyocera Mita-manufactured products. Kyocera Mita introduced the world's first single-layer photo-electrostatic OPC drum in 1998, and continues to excel in the development and manufacture of long-life drums, a component it supplies to many printer and copier manufacturers around the world.

All Kyocera Mita printers and multi-functional products utilize the common KX driver, which provides a standard look and feel for end users and also enables the easy set-up and management of all products running on the network.

Technology Innovation

Kyocera Mita innovates using technology to reduce TCO, streamline advanced document imaging tasks and protect the environment. Its environmental awareness is evidenced through the ECOSYS brand of printers. Unnecessary waste of cartridges is eliminated in ECOSYS products, since toner is added to the existing unit without disposal of the drum, a feature that not only helps protect the environment but contributes to a low TCO.

Kyocera Mita is the first player in the industry to offer complete embedded wireless connectivity for all Kyocera Mita-developed printers and MFPs. The company's wireless offerings enable mobile printing and multi-office printing flexibility and give end users true wireless document processing at the same functionality as a hard-wired network.

Dealer Network

The award-winning, high-performance Kyocera Mita product line is offered through a nationwide network of over 400 dealers, who add value to customers through quality integration, customization and 24/7 service and support for the products. Kyocera Mita supports its network of dealers with a strong National and Government Accounts Division that assists with large, multi-regional opportunities and provides a focused strategy for Fortune 1000 accounts and the government.

The Result
Kyocera Mita's ECOSYS printers and copiers create less waste than any competing products and have the lowest comparable cost per print.

Environmentally Proactive
Environmental consideration has also been taken in the development of the materials used in the external casing of ECOSYS printers. A bromine-free resin blend of polycarbonate and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene stryrene) has been employed. Bromine, a fire resistant agent, is known to release toxic dioxins into the atmosphere when burned at low temperatures.

ECOSYS Environmental and Cost Benefits
The benefits of Kyocera Mita's cartridge-free ECOSYS technology are twofold. Ecologically, ECOSYS can help to eliminate the environmental burden of used print cartridges worldwide that are now disposed of each year. Economically, by eliminating the recurring costs associated with replacement print cartridges, ECOSYS printers provide the industry's lowest TCO. This incremental savings can recoup the printer's purchase price in a year or less, particularly in network printing environments.

ECOSYS Honors and Awards
Kyocera Mita's ECOSYS printers have been recognized around the world since 1992 for their innovative technology and environmental friendliness.
