Monday 27. July 2009 - Newest Color Production Print System from Konica Minolta Continues Legacy of Innovation
Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies for the desktop to the print shop, today announced that the bizhub PRO C65hc was awarded the European Digital Press (EDP) Association Award for its dependable color and productivity, and brilliance in digital color. The EDP jury, consisting of experts in engineering, journalism and independent consulting, chose Konica Minolta’s innovative printing system for its unsurpassed color reproduction as the best full color light production print system in the marketplace.
Featuring revolutionary High Chroma toner (HC toner) developed by Konica Minolta, the bizhub PRO C65hc color production print system provides an unprecedented number of colors and exceptionally bright color saturation for graphic arts companies, commercial printers, advertising agencies and other creative groups. In particular, users will benefit from the large sRGB coverage area along with the facilitated sRGB color workflow. Additionally, the bizhub PRO C65hc reproduces a color gamut extremely close to the sRGB color space and also produces a far greater number of colors than any other device currently on the market. What you see is what you print (WYSIWYP) is the maxim for the new HC toner, making complicated conversion processes from sRGB into CMYK more accurate.
The bizhub PRO C65hc stands out from other products in its class due to its unsurpassed color quality, its impressive media flexibility and comprehensive inline finishing options. The system processes up to 65 color letter-sized pages a minute and easily manages media of up to 300 gsm. To facilitate selection, the bizhub PRO C65hc comes in different configurations, targeted to the most frequent customer finishing requirements. In addition, HC toner requires lower fusing temperatures than conventional toners while also producing lower C02 emissions.
“We are proud to have received the 2009 EDP award for the bizhub PRO C65hc as the group honors only innovative companies and their breakthrough products,” said Kevin Kern, Vice President, Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. “This honor positions Konica Minolta as a true pioneer in the production print marketplace, and allows our customers to count on Konica Minolta for all of their high impact color imaging needs.
