Konica Minolta South Africa strengthens colour light production offering with bizhub PRO C5501

Johannesburg, 22 Jun 2009

Bidvest company, Konica Minolta South Africa has introduced the bizhub PRO C5501, a flexible and reliable digital production system, guaranteeing a superior image quality in both colour and B&W at a high production speed of 55ppm.

Designed specifically to answer the varied requirements of CRDs and print providers, the bizhub PRO C5501 offers better image quality, improved colour consistency, enhanced durability and various finishing options.

"The C5501 is comprehensively equipped to ensure the highest levels of productivity, while minimising production interruptions and manual interventions," explains Marianna Gdanis, digital colour product manager at Konica Minolta South Africa. "Even the most demanding customers will be satisfied with this machine's ability to meet current printing challenges at sustainable overall running costs."

The bizhub PRO C5501 features highlights, including:

* Exceptional print quality thanks to optimised Simitri HD toner technology and advanced colour processing technology SEAD.
* High registration accuracy providing outstanding results, most remarkable in duplex printing.
* Superior user convenience, including straightforward operation and intuitive programming via a large full-colour operator panel.

Flexible choice of three different controllers:

* IC-408 EFI Fiery internal controller for brilliant colour and enhanced security;
* IC-304 plus external CREO Colour Server for comprehensive variable data printing and offset connectivity; and
* IC-305 external EFI Fiery controller, which simplifies even complex tasks and produces precise colours.

* Attractive low overall running costs, surprising even those operating on a tight budget.

The bizhub PRO C5501's paper capacity, flexible finishing options and cost-efficiency are ideal for light- to mid-volume on-demand colour production printing. The new production print system has the ability to duplex print heavy and coated stocks - up to 256gsm (10 point) through any tray - and 300gsm (14 point) stock simplex prints through a dedicated paper tray.

"The bizhub PRO C5501 is poised to redefine the price/performance curve for colour production print systems," says Gdanis. "The combination of quality, speed, reliability, reduced cost of ownership, flexible throughput and finishing and powerful front-end RIP options offered by this device make it an excellent choice for print professionals."
