Amman, December 9th , 2007-- The year 2007 saw Kyocera celebrating the 15th anniversary of the launch of its ECOSYS concept, which is an abbreviation for ECOnomy, ECOlogy and SYStem.

With this concept, Kyocera has placed itself as the only manufacturer worldwide that produces laser printers that require no consumables other than toner and no frequent replacement of drum and developer. The long-life, reliable Kyocera drum ensures significantly reduced waste and cost-effective printing at the same time.

The printing costs of ECOSYS devices are the lowest in their class. ECOSYS is an environmentally-friendly concept because the waste created by an ECOSYS device is minimal. This is due to the long-life drum and developer, which often last for the life time of the device.  In addition, with ECOSYS, the drum and developer are separate from the toner so there is no need to replace everything just because the toner has run out as is necessary for conventional printers.

Kyocera printers benefit from the extensive knowledge of the company's ceramics division. At the heart of the ECOSYS print technology is the tried-and-tested amorphous silicon (a-Si) photoconductor drum for mid-range and high-end systems, and the positive-charged single layer photoconductor drum for business entry laser printers and multifunctional products. Thanks to its ceramic properties, the photoconductor drum is very robust, reliable and lasts for up to 500,000 printed pages. On average, conventional drums of other manufacturers, which are encased in fast-wearing plastic, wear out after printing between 4,000 and 12,000 pages and need to be replaced up to 30 times over the lifetime of the device.

ECOSYS technology is currently used in all Kyocera products offered by OFFTEC, the exclusive agent and distributor of Kyocera products in Jordan since 1976.  The Product range includes black and white and colored printers, copiers and multifunction devices.
