Digital Print World will see the commercial launch by Konica Minolta of the bizhub C6500 colour production print system...
The new bizhub PRO C6500 is designed for heavy-duty production, capable of handling up to 200,000 A4 sheets per month and has an output capacity of up to 3,900 pages per hour (65 pages per minute) in both full colour and black and white. Able to cope with media weights up to 300 g/m2, the bizhub PRO C6500 provides a full and flexible range of printing choices and is equally capable of printing on paper, card, or coated stock.
The bizhub PRO C6500 builds on the success of the existing bizhub PRO 1050, and supports the same extensive finishing options. It can be configured according to the needs of nearly any business to produce a wide variety of output such as brochures, promotional materials or any kind of document. To give companies even more choice, the bizhub PRO C6500 is available with Creo print on-demand solutions as well as Fiery professional controllers, and is also available as a printer only model.
Also on the Konica Minolta stand visitors can see the ground breaking bizhub PRO 1050, able to produce 6,300 impressions an hour (105 prints per minute). Designed as a complete document production system with optional on-line print finishing units for six-way folding, booklet making and post inserting, the bizhub PRO can print variable data onto stock up to A3+ to generate profit for commercial printers.
For high quality colour output the Konica Minolta is also showing the bizhub PRO C500 with a production speed of 3,000 A4 impressions an hour in either full colour or black and white. The versatile bizhub PRO C500 can produce trimmed A4 booklets in full colour. The speed and flexibility of the bizhub C500 mean that it can be used for all commercial print applications, both in colour and black and white, saving on the cost of having separate colour and mono digital printers.
Visitors can also see Konica Minolta systems demonstrated with a range of software solutions.
Commenting on DPW, Jos Kelly, Head of Production Print for Konica Minolta said, “The launch of the bizhub C6500 by Konica Minolta at DPW will certainly generate strong visitor interest. In line with Konica Minolta’s innovative approach to digital commercial print the planned launch will set new performance standards in the market. The strong existing bizhub PRO line-up will also be on show and visitors can also meet the Konica Minolta Production Print team and see for themselves the considerable resources and support we can now offer customers in the commercial digital print market.”
