Itec introduces latest addition to its multifunctional product range, Itec C451.

Johannesburg, 06 Jul 2007
Itec South Africa, the local distributor of Konica Minolta products, has enhanced its colour multi-functional printer solution offering via the introduction of the Itec C451.

The compact, high-speed Itec C451 has already been accredited with an international prestigious industry award and was part of the range recently crowned BERTL's Best for Departmental Colour 2007.

BERTL is an international publisher of independent product-evaluation reports and comparative analyses on digital imaging devices and software.

"The Itec C451 is the most compact in its class and designed to be the hub of the office with its 360-degree design," says Holger Groenert, product marketing manager, Itec South Africa.

"Despite its size, this multi-functional product packs a powerful punch with its speed and capabilities. With its dual-print technology, the Itec C451 is equally productive in both black-and-white and colour, with an output of 45 pages per minute. It also features an impressive warm-up time of only 85 seconds. The Itec C451 has a unique design that ensures it will be a stylish addition to any office environment."

The Itec C451 includes the new InfoLine, which tracks device status. Features include a full-colour, wide display and tilting touch screen that can be moved to suit a desired position. This screen features thumbnails of each job in the user box, allowing operators to release documents as and when they need them. This same function on the Itec C55O was awarded BERTL's first innovation award win.

The multi-functional product (MFP) features many of the most attractive components of Itec C550, including: induction heating fusing, Emperon controller technology, and fast dual-beam laser writing. It also uses Konica Minolta's Simitri HD toner, guaranteeing outstanding print quality and preventing colour fade or cracks, regardless of paper type.

An optional feature of the Itec C451 is the embedded staple finisher and punch kit. This flexible finisher makes booklet production and hole punching easy, and features a mail bin function for document clean ups. Additionally, the Itec C451 is capable of printing banners of up to 1.2 metres in length.

"The Itec C451 has already gained so much recognition," says Groenert. "We are confident that this MFP will meet the high standards demanded by office printing and go on to be a best-seller."

In addition to the set functions, the Itec C451 offers a selection of optional extras including the BERTL award-winning biometric finger vein authentication scanner. This allows only authorised users to access a company's intellectual property, ensuring the device and network remain secure.
