Konica Minolta launches digital alternative for print professionals

Combining output speeds of up to 80 pages per minute (ppm) and a 500,000-page monthly duty cycle with a variety of advanced finishing and media handling capabilities, the bizhub PRESS C8000 promises impressive overall productivity for commercial offset and high volume digital environments.

Among the bizhub PRESS C8000’s enhanced features are true 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution; Konica Minolta’s Simitri HD+ color polymerized toner for offset-like image quality; an Image Density Control (IDC) sensor for real-time color adjustments; a new Dual Fusing system to maintain productivity even when running heavy stocks; and a vacuum belt paper feeding system for reliable substrate handling. Additionally, powerful in-line finishing options satisfy the most demanding production print jobs including saddle stitch booklet making, perfect binding, and multi-folding. Driving the bizhub PRESS C8000 is the powerful IC-306 image controller from EFI, featuring the Fiery System 9.

The bizhub PRESS C8000 has already been deemed an award-winner for its innovative technologies including a "Best of Show" Award at the 2010 On Demand Conference and Exposition in the Color Digital Printing Equipment category.
