From: Gary Britt 

I haven't seen many of their printers but they make decent copiers I
believe.  They bought out Mita several years ago.  I had a Mita copier that
was a really good value back in 1989.  When I went looking for a digital
based replacement many years later, I learned Mita had been purchased by
Kyocera.

I'll have to look at some of their printers online, I guess.
