Bidvest company, Konica Minolta South Africa, has announced the introduction of its new flagship model, the bizhub PRESS C8000, Konica Minolta's next-generation digital machine.
Featuring superior colour accuracy and management, enhanced media handling and impressive productivity, the new bizhub reinforces Konica Minolta's digital colour range.
“We see the bizhub PRESS C8000 as a breakthrough digital press that truly compares to offset,” says Leon Minnie, product specialist: production systems at Konica Minolta South Africa. “With this bizhub, the future of graphic arts has just begun. Graphic arts departments and creative print solutions providers will be blown away by this device's abilities.”
With the release of the bizhub PRESS C8000 and the PRESS brand, Konica Minolta is strengthening its position in the light- to mid-production printing arena. The PRESS brand will be associated with products that are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the commercial offset and high volume digital environments, with the focus being on image quality, durability, flexibility and volume capability.
The bizhub PRESS C8000's high image quality and definition almost reaches offset printing quality, particularly when it comes to glossiness of print products. It produces output with a 1 200 x 1 200 dpi resolution. The new Simitri HD+ toner is an important component in creating the lustrous-looking images and a true 8-beam laser unit further helps to produce output in a quality on par with offset printers.
The new device works across a wide variety of media, printing up to 80 pages per minute and handling up to 350gsm paper stock. Flexibility does not stop with the printed page, but also includes a wide range of in-line finishing options for high performance, productivity and added value.
For a streamlined and efficient workflow, the bizhub PRESS C8000 can be equipped with the Konica Minolta's workflow solutions, Printgroove POD Suite and a host of additional production software solutions to further enhance the capabilities of digital production. The Printgroove POD Suite ensures simple, streamlined work processes, which increase the overall productivity of central reprographic departments (CRDs), print providers and commercial digital printers.
