ABOUT BERTL’S GALAXY© STAR RATING  
BERTL understands how difficult it is to choose one office-
imaging device over another and exists to make this an 
easier choice for the consumer.  That said, how does a 
consumer decide between two or more devices that carry 
the same BERTL 3-, 4- or 5-star rating? 
 
Category-Criteria 
Build Quality - An analysis of the construction quality of the 
major components that the user must interact with on a 
regular basis (e.g.:  paper trays, access covers, supplies, 
etc.). 
Network Administration - The quality of administrative and 
management utilities (both executable and Web-based) 
when compared to that of a sliding scale benchmark based 
on the network administration feature set of other vendors. 
Security - A security feature-set analysis (removable hard 
disk, hard-disk overwrite, encryption, IP filtering, Microsoft 
Windows NT Authentication and LDAP lookup) when 
compared to a sliding scale benchmark based on the 
security feature set found on other devices. 
Workflow - The quality of the network scanning, job 
submission, document management, sharpening and 
enhancement, file conversion and job layout tools based 
on a sliding scale benchmark when compared to the 
workflow tools employed by other devices. 
Finishing - The productivity penalty (punch, staple, 
booklets) based on tests and finishing specifications and 
effectiveness based on a sliding scale benchmark when 
compared to that of other finishing systems found on other 
devices.  
Ease of Use - Ease of maintenance (adding paper, toner, 
misfeeds, cleaning) and ease of using the documentation, 
help, control panel, print drivers and client utilities when 
compared to a sliding scale benchmark based on of the 
ease of use of other devices. 
Media Handling - Evaluations based supported 
specifications on a sliding scale benchmark when 
compared with the handling of special media (e.g.: 
oversize, thick or coated stock) found on other devices. 
Copying - Copy productivity based on tests and a feature-
set analysis when compared to a sliding scale benchmark 
based on the feature set found on other devices. 
Scanning - Simplex and duplex scan productivity and 
quality based on tests and a comparison of the overall 
scan and send feature set when compared to a sliding 
scale benchmark based on the feature set found on other 
devices. 
Printing - Duplex and simplex print productivity based on 
tests and a printing feature set analysis when compared to 
a sliding scale benchmark based on the feature set found 
on other devices.   
Image Quality - The quality of business color images (text, 
dot, line, halftone and solid quality) based on tests and a 
subjective rating on the quality of continuous tones 
(photos) when compared to a sliding scale benchmark 
based on the continuous tone quality produced by other 
devices. 
Features - The feature set compared to a sliding scale 
benchmark based on the feature set found on other 
devices. 
Price - MSRP of a system configured with network printing, 
copying, scanning, and two media trays/rolls (wide format) 
configuration.
