Bringing on-demand colour production print capabilities to the front office
Bidvest Group Company, Minolta South Africa, has introduced the Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C500, a powerful colour copier/printer/scanner designed for all users seeking on-demand flexibility and production print quality.
This follows hot on the heels of the introduction of the bizhub PRO 1050, a production printer/copier that launched Minolta SA into the production print market.
Minolta SA colour division product manager, Marianna Gdanis, says the bizhub PRO C500 is designed for high volume document production as well as all print-on-demand jobs, which makes it ideal for producing a wide range of marketing and sales material.
"Its competitive price means companies that were outsourcing their colour printing or copying can now afford to do it all in-house, printing only what they want, when they want it," she says.
The bizhub PRO C500, which prints 51 pages-per-minute (ppm) in colour and monochrome, offers excellent image quality, a wide range of finishing functions and handles a variety of paper sizes and types.
The machine is equipped with a standard automatic duplex and can print and copy onto paper sizes ranging from A6 to A3++ (330mm x 488mm) and onto paper weights of up to 256g/m. With a paper capacity of up to 4 250 sheets, the bizhub PRO C500 is able to handle large copy runs and multiple-document jobs.
Optional finishing devices, such as the booklet finisher, allow the bizhub PRO C500 to staple, hole punch, booklet bind and fold according to a range of configurations.
With the addition of the optional Fiery Print Controller, the bizhub PRO C500 can serve as a network printer and scanner and standard Fiery applications give users access to document imposition, variable date source printing and job management.
The bizhub PRO C500 provides superior image quality with 600 x 600dpi resolution and uses an advanced polymerised toner featuring smaller, more consistently shaped particles for sharper lines and smoother gradations.
