High quality colour, speed, robustness, and cost-effectiveness is, says Konica Minolta, the unbeatable combination delivered with the new bizhub PRO C500 launched in May. State-of-art technologies says Konica Minolta, make it possible to present a device that meets the needs of high-volume users in corporations or commercial light production facilities where speed, reliability and finishing flexibility are top priorities. The bizhub PRO C500 is the successor of the award-winning 8050.
The bizhub PRO C500 is Konica Minolta’s answer to the needs of commercial printers who want to stay a cut above the other and of companies that want the flexibility to quickly produce high quality printed matter in their own facilities when they are needed.??
"With the bizhub PRO C500, we have taken a further step in digital colour printing in the light production area,” says David Procter, Konica Minolta Business Solutions, product marketing manager, Production Print Light. “We know that our customers appreciate Konica Minolta’s reliability, quality output and variety of inline finishing capabilities.
"This device is driven by the newest technologies that make a wide range of features possible in a fast and reliable machine,” Procter says.
The bizhub PRO C500 can produce up to 51 A4 pages a minute in colour and black/white, print and copy on paper up to 256g/m² and on formats up to A3+ (330x488mm). Two different controllers are available, a space saving embedded one and a high-end external one with additional features like Graphic Arts Bundle. The full range of online finishing options makes this new bizhub PRO device useful in any given situation like stapling, punching, half-folding, letter-folding, booklet making and trimming. And because all steps, including automatic duplex, can be accomplished online in one workflow without manual interaction, the bizhub PRO C500 is a production machine that is as easy to operate as a standard office device.
Konica Minolta’s experience in high speed digital colour copier-printers is visible in the results: Thanks to Simitri, Konica Minolta’s digital polymerised toner, copies and prints are second to none. And the colours remain true and consistent no matter how large the print run is.
The bizhub PRO C500 is high in quality and functionality, and yet it is small enough to fit into any office environment where printed matter like brochures, reports and other sales material is required. It is also useful in any digital production environment where the service provider has to be flexible in order to meet customer requirements. Fast jobs - fast reaction. It is built to handle up to 150,000 colour pages a month. Adding the bizhub PRO C500 to any production facility is an investment in viability that provides a decisive edge over the competition.
Konica Minolta’s bizhub PRO C500 and the rest of its range of bizhub products were exhibited at PacPrint05 last month.
