From all initial accounts TASKalfa is a great machine. But from a marketing standpoint I'm greatly disappointed.

First, it's ALPHA not ALFA. Second, it doesn't roll off the tongue very well, like say BizHub does.

Third, the name embarrassingly translates to "Something we should have done in the first place"

Any thoughts?

Maybe Kyocera other purpose for this machine is paper milling!
