Subject: Introducing the New KIP 9000 High Volume Wide Format System
We are pleased to announce the release of the newest high volume wide format system from
KIP -- the KIP 9000. At 22 ‘D’ sized prints per minute with ultra-fast file processing and
conversion, the KIP 9000 is the fastest wide format printer on the market.
In addition to the launch of the KIP 9000, we are also pleased to inform you that we now have
web content and support materials for the KIP 7000 available on MyKonicaMinolta.
As with all KIP systems, the KIP 9000 is a toner-based B&W printer that is available in a variety of configurations. Thanks to KIP’s advanced user interface, the new high volume 9000 is as easy to operate as the KIP 3000. In fact, the user interface on all four KIP models (3000, 5000, 7000 and 9000) is virtually identical.
The KIP 9000 is available in the following configurations:
7640004664 KIP 9000 Network Printer
7640004665 KIP 9000 Printer w/Copying & B&W Scanning (w/KIP 600 Basic Scanner)

In addition to the above systems, KIP offers a variety of hardware and software options that
further enhance system functionality. KIP systems are easily field-upgradeable via software key codes to add the features to evolve with your customer’s needs.
