Konica Minolta unwraps UK debut kit for TPE 2008

Konica Minolta is set to give a UK launch to a trio of new mono bizhub printers at this year's Total Print! Expo.

The manufacturer is showcasing the bizhub PRO 1600P, 2000P and 2500P machines under the theme 'Black is Back'.

Konica Minolta claims the bizhub PRO 2500P is the world's fastest single-pass printing system offering speeds of up to 15,000 images an hour.

The bizhub PRO 1600P and 2000P presses can output at speeds of 160 and 200 A4 pages per minute respectively in a single-pass process.
Konica Minolta's new bizhub machines can print on substrates from 40 to 300gsm and in resolutions up to 1,200 x 600dpi.

The company will also be showcasing the new colour bizhub PRO C6501e, the successor to the PRO C6500 machine.

It can produce up to 3,900pp an hour in both full colour and black and white, equating to 300,000 A4 sheets per month.

Clare Revell, head of production print at Konica Minolta said, "After our recent inroads into the colour production print market, the Black is Back theme for the Konica Minolta stand at Total Print! Expo reemphasises our continuing commitment to innovation in the mono production print sector."

She added: "The new mono systems we are launching set new standards in high-speed digital production and will undoubtedly be the centre of attention at the show."
