Meet the TASKalfa EvolutionNext Series

We’re excited to introduce the new TASKalfa MZ7001ci and MZ7001i Series, part of Kyocera’s EvolutionNext Series, a new generation of intelligent multifunction printers (MFPs) designed to go above and beyond. Businesses need more than just a printer; they need a productivity partner. The EvolutionNext Series is your productivity partner. 

What’s New? 

AI That Works for You – The EvolutionNext Series is packed with on-device artificial intelligence that transforms how you scan, print, and manage documents: 

• Image Defect Prevention: Automatically detects issues like sticky notes or folded corners during scanning and alerts users in real time. No more rescanning or missed data. 

• Confidential Document Guard: Uses AI to detect watermarks, stamps, or sensitive text and prevents unauthorized copying or scanning—even if the document wasn’t printed from a Kyocera driver. 

• Handwriting Enhancement: Makes handwritten notes easier to read or can remove them entirely for clean, professional output. Perfect for education, legal, and healthcare. 

• ID Card Copy & Auto Crop: Scans both sides of ID cards and automatically positions them into a single page image. 

• Tilted Document Correction: Straightens skewed scans that came in at an angle. 

• Super Resolution: Enhances low-resolution images for crystal-clear results. 

Cloud-Ready from Day One – The EvolutionNext Series is built for the cloud and includes a trio of powerful solutions that manage the entire document lifecycle: 

• Kyocera Cloud Capture (KCC) – Digitize paper documents and send captured data securely to the cloud 

• Kyocera Cloud Information Manager (KCIM) – A full-featured document management system that integrates with SharePoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive. Very easy to use! 

• Kyocera Cloud Print and Scan (KCPS) – Enables secure, serverless printing from anywhere. Perfect for hybrid teams. 

These tools reduce IT overhead, eliminate the need for on-prem servers, and give users secure access to documents from any device. 

Advanced Security That’s Built In – Kyocera’s advanced security protocols are built to outpace today’s most sophisticated threats—including those powered by AI.

• With FIPS 140-3 encryption, AES 256 Data Storage encryption, and a plethora of certifications and other encryptions, the EvolutionNext Series is ready for industries that demand the highest levels of data protection, including healthcare, legal, and finance. 

Future Proof – Kyocera has future-proofed its fleet to meet the evolving demands of print, cloud, and security, before the industry catches up.

• The EvolutionNext Series integrates effortlessly with modern platforms like Microsoft Exchange 365, Universal Print, and Windows Protected Print mode.  

• When Microsoft phases out traditional print servers with WPP, your workflow won’t skip a beat—your devices will press on like nothing ever changed. 

Still the Most Reliable and Color Consistent A3 Brand – These devices use proven components from the previous series. Tested, trusted, and ready to perform.

• Kyocera was the recipient of the BLI Most Reliable A3 Brand (2025-2027) and the Most Color Consistent A3 Brand (2024-2026) awards for their entire line of A3 devices. The new EvolutionNext Series, built on the same parts as the previous series, qualifies for these awards as well! 

• Only 17 misfeeds across 3.35 million impressions 

• 16.2% better color consistency vs competition
