A Glimpse into the BLI A3 Line of the Year Award

Keypoint Intelligence, the renowned awarding entity, initiates the process by inspecting the current Multi-Function Printers (MFPs) submitted by a vendor for lab testing.

The process is far from superficial, delving deep into crucial aspects such as reliability, usability, security, image quality, and speed. Each one of these elements is carefully evaluated, compiling an overall rating that speaks volumes about a product's caliber.

This recognition underlines the brand's consistent delivery of exceptional color copier and printer performance, setting it apart in the office equipment market.
Increase Productivity
Color consistency is important for all businesses, but it's often ignored in color copiers. When you’re creating marketing materials, reports, presentations, or any other printed material, consistent color output ensures your documents look professional, clean, and easy to read. Consistent colors from your commercial color copier means less time spent troubleshooting color issues or reprinting documents, leading to increased productivity and efficiency.
Maintain Brand Standards
Moreover, it's not just about the aesthetic appeal; color consistency plays a pivotal role in brand recognition. A consistent color palette across all your printed materials enhances your brand identity, providing a unified and professional image to your clients and stakeholders. By using a color copier that produces consistent results, you’re helping to reinforce your brand and maintain its integrity.
Minimize Waste
Inconsistent color output can also lead to increased costs. Having to reprint documents due to color discrepancies isn't just inconvenient; it's also expensive in terms of wasted ink, paper, and employee time. With consistent color output, businesses can minimize waste, thereby reducing overhead costs.
Make Your Impressions Matter
But perhaps most importantly, color consistency in your printed materials instills trust and confidence. When your materials always look the same, you send a message of reliability to your clients, employees, and partners. This helps to build your reputation as a consistent, dependable company that values quality in every detail. With Kyocera’s award-winning color consistency, you can rest assured that every print job will meet the highest standards, each and every time. In an era where impressions matter, and even the smallest detail can make a difference, color consistency is a feature that should not be overlooked when choosing your office equipment.
The term "A3" in the context of copiers and Multifunction Printers (MFPs) refers to a category of office equipment that offers the ability to print, scan, and copy documents up to the size of A3 paper, measuring 11.69 x 16.54 inches. These devices provide businesses with an expanded capability to handle larger document formats, which can be especially beneficial for industries that frequently work with graphics, blueprints, large spreadsheets, and other oversized documents. Unlike standard A4 copiers and printers, which are typically limited to letter-size paper, A3 devices offer the flexibility to cater to a wide range of business needs. This makes them a more comprehensive solution for offices that require diverse document management capabilities.
Known worldwide for its innovative office solutions, Kyocera continues to raise the bar when it comes to color consistency in its top color copiers and multifunction printers (MFPs). The recent accolade from Keypoint Intelligence further validates Kyocera's unwavering dedication to delivering superior quality in every product. This award is not just a trophy; it is a testament to the high level of consistency maintained across Kyocera’s A3 MFP line. The award process involved a rigorous study assessing color consistency across various products, and Kyocera emerged as the frontrunner, outshining other brands in this key aspect. This commendable achievement speaks volumes about Kyocera's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to continuous improvement.

Kyocera’s color copiers and MFPs are engineered with cutting-edge technology that ensures consistent color output, even under heavy usage.

Copiers Plus is bursting with fantastic employees across the state of North Carolina – from Wilmington to Greensboro, Fayetteville, and beyond! In this week’s People Behind The PLUS feature, we’d love to help you get to know Crystal Moore, Document Solutions Specialist and Sales Account Manager in our Asheville office. On a daily basis, Crystal helps businesses across western North Carolina learn about the Copiers Plus products and services that could benefit their organization. But there’s a lot more to know about Crystal, so read on!
Meet Crystal Moore
Crystal is a Brevard, NC, native and still resides there today with her husband and kids. She attended Brevard High School and Penn Foster High School and actually earned her diploma three years early, at the age of only 15! This achievement – coupled with the fact that she was the first in her family to graduate high school – is one of the accomplishments in her life of which she’s most proud.
After high school, Crystal continued her education in several different areas. She earned degrees as a medical claims and billing specialist from the U.S. Career Institute, dental assistant from Penn Foster Career School, and was also part of the National Society of Leadership and Success at Asheville Buncombe Technical College. A big proponent of positive thinking, Crystal is always looking to learn and improve in every aspect of her life.
These days, Crystal most loves spending time with her family. She has been married to her husband for 13 years and, as she describes it, he’s her ROCK, partner, best friend, and the love of her life. Together, they have three children: Elizabeth (Lizzy), age 11; Elijah (Eli) age nine; and Emi, age six. The Moore’s kids keep them busy! Lizzy is part of her middle school chorus and both Crystal and her husband are in their third year of volunteering as coaches for Eli’s soccer team.
Connecting With Copiers Plus
Before Crystal started working for Copiers Plus, she had a good idea what she was searching for in her next job. “I wanted to work for a company that would reward me for my hard work and dedication, while at the same time helping businesses in my community in a positive way,” she shared. Fortunately for us, it didn’t take Crystal long to realize that, at Copiers Plus, she could accomplish these goals and more!
Crystal researched Copiers Plus before submitting her application and was excited by several aspects of the company. She said, “I knew that a family-run business of this type meant a close-knit, hand-picked team that would be generous with support from top to bottom.” She added, “Copiers Plus is large enough to cover everything needed to be successful and still small enough to truly care about each employee and their success – both on and off the job.”
Crystal joined the team in July of 2023 and has since proved she is a dedicated, hard-working employee, and a valuable addition to the crew. As Document Solutions Specialist and Sales Account Manager, Crystal seeks out, researches, and connects with prospective businesses of all kinds that could benefit from Copiers Plus’s products and services. What she most likes about her job is knowing that she’s part of a team, in addition to having the opportunity to create a better life for herself and her family.
In the six months that Crystal has been part of the Copiers Plus family, she’s experienced the company’s strong team-focused culture and can already see a difference in herself. She revealed, “Since I started at Copiers Plus, I have become more confident and at ease when introducing myself to potential clients.” She mentioned that several of her colleagues have played significant roles in her professional development.
“My sales manager, Wendell Fortner, has been my biggest resource and an open book of sales knowledge. He’s taught me the ins-and-outs, dos-and-don’ts, and the how-tos of becoming a successful Sales Account Manager.” She added, “From day one, Kevin Oberman, VP of Sales, has encouraged me with positive motivation, sending me links to audiobooks and mailing me books that have helped me better my skills in my current position.” She also mentioned Sherrié Lucas, the company’s sales administrator, saying, “Shout out to Sherrié for the support and knowledge she has shared with me!”
However, Crystal brings a ton of her own outstanding qualities to the team. A self-described positive person, Crystal strives to approach everything she does with the four “E’s” – ethics, energy, eagerness, and enthusiasm. Additionally, her loyalty, tech ability, and great BIG smile are appreciated by co-workers and clients alike!
Crystal enjoys the excellent support at Copiers Plus, but ultimately, she’s most impressed by the entire company’s willingness to work together to assist its customers. “We at Copiers Plus truly care about our clients. By giving them more value for their money, great tech support, security, and peace of mind, we free them up so they can concentrate on making their business successful."
In her free time, Crystal loves spending time with her family and enjoys all kinds of outdoor activities, from relaxing on the beach to camping at the lake. She also likes listening to or reading books on positive thinking, and eating delicious food – in particular, crab legs, shrimp, and anything her husband cooks!
Crystal is one of the many employees we’re blessed to call family here at Copiers Plus and we’re so glad you’ve taken the time to join us on this journey in getting to know her!
Through our People Behind the PLUS series, Copiers Plus is on a mission to showcase the outstanding people that represent our brand across the state of North Carolina. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Drew Smith, Director of Communications, and are excited to give you a glimpse into his personality, professional accomplishments, and contributions to the team. Keep reading to get to know him a little better!
Meet Drew Smith
Drew has been an integral part of the team since 2014. However, his ties to the company go well beyond the actual dates of his employment. Drew is the grandson of Copiers Plus CEO Bob Smith and is surrounded by a number of other family members at work, including his father, uncle, aunt, and brother-in-law.
Drew grew up in Fayetteville, NC, but has called Wilmington home since graduating from UNCW with a B.A. in communication studies. Before his college years, he attended Jack Britt High School and worked as a customer service associate at Michaels Arts and Crafts. He also helped in the warehouse at Copiers Plus during this time.
He married his wife, Jess, in 2016 and the couple welcomed their first child, Addison, in February of this year. In addition, the Smiths have a German shepherd named Berkley. Drew describes himself as an inspired person and he gains much of that inspiration from his family. “My wife and daughter make me want to be a better version of myself and deepen my faith,” he said. “Proud girl dad over here!”
Answering The Copiers Plus Call
Drew always planned to join the family business but didn’t expect it to be his first job out of college. As he says, however, “The Lord has a plan better than my own.” As the company’s Director of Communications, Drew is responsible for the business’s overall marketing and ensures that Copiers Plus’s external communications represent the brand both visually and from a messaging standpoint.
On a daily basis, you might find Drew working with vendors on advertising and marketing initiatives, tracking the performance of different ventures, or making sure the sales team has everything they need to prospect and serve businesses across North Carolina. His goal is to project a clear, cohesive, and engaging message over all of the business’s communication outlets.
Drew’s made lots of great memories at Copiers Plus over the years, but one of his favorites is the 2017 company kick-off meeting. “It was the first time we had the whole company gathered together in a while,” Drew shared. “We also had the opportunity to hear from Pastor Daniel Ward, which was a blessing for myself and many others. There is always something special about getting the family together and growing deeper relationships.”
In addition, this kick-off meeting was an opportunity to reveal a new logo and website to the Copiers Plus team. Drew spearheaded this initiative and considers it one of the professional accomplishments of which he is most proud.
“During the logo and website redesign in 2017, we were able to go from a website that was not compatible with mobile and many other things to a polished and responsive site that could stand with the best in our industry.” He added, “We wanted to modernize the look of our logo to further emphasize the fact that we are more than copiers and can handle advanced technology.”
At Copiers Plus, Customers Come First
At the end of the day, Copiers Plus’s customers are the driving force behind Drew’s work. “Customers have a special place in my heart and make me want to work harder to give them a better partner in business,” he revealed. “I’m happy I can contribute in a small way to help people know about us and understand how we can help them.”
This same sentiment is found throughout the company, and Drew believes it’s one thing that makes Copiers Plus stand out from other organizations. “Copiers Plus is full of people that aren’t going to shortcut their way to success,” he said, “but rather do hard work with integrity to make sure the customer is satisfied. I know that I can rely on my fellow team members to have my back the same way they can rely on me to have theirs.”
One employee that Drew consistently counts on is his dad, Tim Smith. Drew shared that as Vice President, his father always leads by example and strives to ensure every employee is supported. He went on, “He is constantly helping me work through complex situations by listening and giving sage advice. He cares deeply for his employees and family and is the best dad a person could ask for!”
Family is a recurring theme throughout Copiers Plus. “There is a genuineness to the Copiers Plus experience,” Drew revealed. Whether it’s his grandfather personally greeting the Fayetteville team each morning or sending employees a congratulatory email for each work anniversary, Drew loves that employees are treated like family.
Drew contributes to the Copiers Plus team by acting as a brand ambassador across the state. He is constantly trying to connect workplaces with the solutions they need through presentations, networking opportunities, and in-depth research. No matter the task, he and his fellow co-workers aim to provide an outstanding customer experience through every step of the Copiers Plus journey.
“We are more than a copier company. We are a family of employees who take pride in what we do and want to make our customers as proud to work with us as we are to work with them,” he explained. “So, whether that is through our exceptional customer service or intuitive document solutions portfolio, we will work diligently to make their vision a reality and our partnership long-lasting.”
Outside of work, Drew is a huge Atlanta braves fan and enjoys supporting some of his favorite places in Wilmington – including Hell’s Kitchen and Wine Knot Sky Bar & Lounge – in his free time. He loves the summer season and relaxing with his all-time favorite TV show, The West Wing. When it comes to books, “Love Does” by Bob Goff is his must-read and his go-to music genre is 90’s country.
We’re so glad we’ve had the opportunity to help you get to know Drew and a few of the other members of our team through our People Behind The PLUS series. It’s an honor to call so many incredible individuals part of the Copiers Plus crew!
