The Golden Globes, the Academy Awards, the CMT (Country Music) Awards; the Tony Awards, the MTV Movie Awards, and finally, six months into 2008, the biggest award of them all: The BLI (Buyers Laboratory Inc.) Spring “Pick” Awards.

And the winner of the BLI Special Achievement Award for Innovation goes to:

The HP CM8060 Color MFP with Edgeline Technology

This acknowledgement from BLI, coming a full year after the product hit the streets and started to aggressively capture copier pages for HP, is especially gratifying.  A few quotes from the review:

“The CM8060 Color MFP proved itself admirable in BLI’s testing, separating itself from the pack with innovative features not regularly seen on its copier MFP competitors for a price that is the lowest of competitive models. Featuring a very large, well-labeled color touch-screen control panel, the CM8060 Color MFP also raises the bar for ease of removing misfeeds, providing live-action video on the control panel and LEDs throughout the device to guide users.

“The HP CM8060 Color MFP takes leaps and bounds forward in regard to being an environmentally friendly machine as well. Whereas the photoconductors used by competitive models have to be disposed of, with the HP CM8060, the imaging unit is the print head. The device also ships with no Styrofoam and no cardboard.”

Buyers Laboratory Inc. is the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging products and solutions. Presented semi-annually, BLI’s prestigious “Pick” awards identify the best products tested in their respective categories in a wide range of performance areas, through a series of rigorous evaluations.

Since the blockbuster launch of HP’s Edgeline MFPs in April of 2007, we’ve racked-up considerable acclaim for its high-performance and innovative design. The HP CM8060 Color MFP with Edgeline Technology garnered a “Must See ‘em” award at the recent Graph Expo trade show and received the “Technology Award” from the Microsoft Vendor Program (MSVP) Excellence Awards. 

Awards are great, but the most important acknowledgement is the one we receive for helping solve a customer’s business problem. The best type of acclaim is when our innovation adds value – whether it’s a breakthrough in print quality and total cost of ownership, or a software solution that streamlines a billing process.
