Types of BLI Testing

General Testing/Reports

First Look Reports

These quick two-page references analyze the newest multifunctional copier, fax and printer products, examining what they do and how they fit into the existing marketplace.

Productivity Reports

Based on extensive tests in our unique lab, Productivity Reports compare tested speeds to advertised speeds of machines. These reports give an essential view of how a machine will perform in the real world.

Field Test Reports

Product life cycles are getting shorter and shorter in the document imaging world. Buyers, OEMs and dealers need unbiased commentary on new imaging devices earlier than ever before. Answering this need are Buyers Lab (BLI) Field Test Reports. BLI's Field Test Reports are a pre-lab evaluation that provides the marketplace with an independent view on a product's features and functions, along with some preliminary information on the performance of the product.

Lab Test Reports

Lab Test Reports, which complement the information gathered in the field, are comprehensive laboratory evaluations that concentrate on connectivity issues in detail, including areas such as multitasking, installing a unit on a network, raster times, web-based administration, print drivers and administrative utilities, as well as fax and scanning functionality, when applicable. A lab-tested unit is installed by the manufacturer/distributor in BLI's 10,000 square foot test lab, where BLI also conducts extensive durability testing on the product. Only units that have completed BLI's in-house lab testing and have proven to be dependable performers can receive BLI's “Certificate of Reliability”.

Solutions Test Reports

The MFP industry has changed dramatically over the last few years from a collection of standalone devices that didn't integrate with other equipment, to a networked industry of multifunctional devices that combine both hardware and software. Purchasing solutions is very different to buying hardware because organizations are making a long term commitment to a product without knowing its exact benefits or how the application will interact with its other software until after it's installed. BLI's Solutions Test Reports provide both dealers and end users with an independent view of the solution to help them evaluate, and buy or sell these unique products.
