Panasonic Announces the “Most Compact, Lightweight Color Laser Printers in U.S.”/page two

technology. Industry analysts identify these barriers as the costs of hardware, printing a color page, printing a black page, service, and color speed.

Panasonic uses fast, one-pass technology

While traditional color laser printers use the slower, four-pass color process, the CL500 and CL510 series use Panasonic’s one-pass engine technology. This technology is more than four times faster than the leading color laser printer.

Smart choice for small- to mid-sized businesses

The black and white cost per page2 for these one-pass dynamos is equal to leading monochrome network printers, overcoming one of the major adoption barriers of network color laser printers for small and medium size businesses.

Additionally, in some instances the purchase price may be even less than the price of the monochrome printer they replace. Starting at under $2,000.00 ERP3, the total cost of ownership for the CL500 and CL510 represents a significant savings over comparable color printers, making these models overall price-performance leaders, and a smart choice for small- to mid- sized businesses.

Industry’s first “Express Exchange” warranty

Panasonic is so confident in the reliability and quality of its CL500 and CL510 printers – both scheduled to ship later this summer – that it has become the first manufacturer in the industry to replace the traditional on-site service contract with a new Express Exchange (“Swap Out”) Warranty.

Under the One-Year warranty, if a user has a problem with their printer that cannot be fixed remotely, Panasonic will deliver a replacement unit in most cases by the next business day. This overcomes many of the problems typically associated with on-site service, such as service personnel not arriving on schedule, missing required parts, misdiagnosing the problem, or removing the printer in order to fix it in the shop.

Service and support is just a phone call away

Panasonic’s printer product manager Charles Vidal said that in addition to the Express Exchange Warranty, the printers come with a comprehensive suite of automated set-up, maintenance and service tools, as well as remote diagnostic technology.
