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?

You mean its not TASK Alfalfa? Oh damn, I've got to go change some paper work.

Tsk Tsk Alf!

I like the initial T & A!

Maybe Kyocera other purpose for this machine is paper milling!

Alfa \Al"fa\or Alfa grass \Al"fa grass"\, n. A plant (Macrochloa tenacissima) of North Africa; also, its fiber, used in paper making.

webe you r funny...LOL...your so right the ugly name dont catch quite well with the customer,it will be very difficult to market this box with that name. i hope is only for us the techs to recognize the model and not the commercial name being use for marketing because this will be horrible to use for sales. i have a better name...how about kyoprizm...

Hey, MTM, does that mean we will have to carry alot of 1 dollar bills around with us when we get service calls on the new "T & A" line of copiers?

not if you're al bundy and have some string-all
you need is 2 dollar bills!

For some of us "seasoned" techs, this is not the first time "T&A" have been on a Mita box... now I am showing my age
