Kyocera Winning Streak Continues: BLI Awards Kyocera A4 Line of the Year

Kyocera’s winning streak continues as they add yet another major industry award to their growing list of accolades. 

Keypoint Intelligence honored Kyocera with its prestigious 2026 A4 Line of the Year Award, recognizing the company’s entire A4 product lineup for excellence in performance, reliability, image quality, and usability. The award is based on rigorous laboratory testing and real-world evaluation of devices across a manufacturer’s portfolio. 

Not aware of what A4 devices are? They are normally desktop devices that handle paper up to legal or 8.5 x 14 sizes. 

If you think you’re having déjà vu, you’re not exactly wrong.  

Earlier this year, Kyocera was also named the Best A4 Manufacturer by The Cannata Report for the eighth time overall and seventh consecutive year. Unlike the Keypoint Intelligence award, which is determined through independent testing and evaluation, The Cannata Report is based on voting by hundreds of office technology dealers across North America. 

Together, these awards paint a clear picture: industry analysts, independent testing organizations, and office technology dealers all continue to recognize Kyocera as one of the strongest names in A4 printing. 

Why is Keypoint Intelligence Important? 

Unlike the Cannata-dealer-voted awards, the A4 Line of the Year Award from Keypoint Intelligence is earned through extensive hands-on testing of devices across an entire product line. According to Keypoint Intelligence, the award recognizes manufacturers whose A4 portfolios consistently demonstrate excellence across multiple areas, including reliability, productivity, image quality, and user experience. 

During testing, Keypoint Intelligence highlighted several strengths throughout Kyocera’s A4 lineup: 

• Strong and reliable performance across tested devices 
• Fast print and scan speeds 
• Feature-rich functionality designed for modern office and hybrid work environments 
• Consistent image quality and color output 
• Intuitive operation and user-friendly design. 

From compact desktop printers to powerful multifunction systems, Kyocera’s A4 portfolio is designed to help businesses stay productive while minimizing downtime and maintenance concerns. 

The Winning Streak Continues 

This latest recognition is far from Kyocera’s only success with Keypoint Intelligence. 

In addition to being named the 2026 A4 Line of the Year, Kyocera has built an impressive track record of BLI and Keypoint Intelligence awards in recent years. Most notably, Kyocera earned the 2025-2027 Most Reliable A3 Brand Award, a distinction based on five years of rigorous testing in which Kyocera devices demonstrated exceptional reliability, remarkably low misfeed rates, and zero service calls. 

That same round of testing also earned Kyocera several BLI Pick Awards with evaluators praising their productivity, fast first-print-out times, above-average scan speeds, accurate searchable PDFs, and excellent image quality.  

In 2024, Kyocera was awarded BLI’s A3 Line of the Year, an honor given to manufacturers whose overall product lineup consistently outperforms competitors across comprehensive testing. During the same awards cycle, Keypoint Intelligence also named Kyocera the 2024-2026 Most Color Consistent A3 Brand, further validating the performance and dependability of its A3 technology.  

To top it off, several ECOSYS devices recently received 2026 BLI Pick Awards, reinforcing the strength of Kyocera’s newest generation of A4 printers and multifunction systems.  

When you look at the complete picture, Kyocera’s latest A4 Line of the Year award is not an isolated achievement. It is the latest chapter in a multi-year winning streak of industry recognition for reliability, image quality, productivity, and overall performance across both A3 and A4 product lines. 

Why Should You Choose Kyocera? 

With the aforementioned evidence, why wouldn’t you? 

Winning one industry award is impressive. Winning recognition from multiple respected organizations year after year is far more difficult. 

The 2026 Keypoint Intelligence A4 Line of the Year Award reinforces what many businesses and dealers have already discovered: Kyocera delivers reliable, feature-rich, and cost-effective A4 printing solutions that consistently perform at a high level.
