The bizhub PRO C6500 Professional and Production models are capable of handling up to 300,000 A4 sheets per month and have an output capacity of up to 65 pages per minute in both full colour and black and white. Able to cope with media weights up to 300gsm from the high capacity feed, the bizhub PRO C6500 provides the capability of printing on paper, card, or coated stock.
The bizhub PRO C6500 Professional enters this very competitive market segment and is designed for the pay-for-print customer. With a smaller footprint, up to 3600 A4 pages per hour and 0.5mm registration, this new model is set to give the market a true alternative.
The bizhub PRO C6500 Production builds on the success of the existing bizhub PRO 1050 and supports the same extensive finishing options. Customers can choose from a folding unit, staple finisher, bookletmaker/saddle -stitch unit or trolley stacker. It can be configured in nine different ways according to the needs of nearly any business, to produce a wide variety of output such as brochures, promotional materials or any kind of documents for inline finishing.
Konica Minolta has partnered with both EFI and CREO to provide a powerful range of controllers for these models. With the options of either Fiery or Creo controllers and the introduction of the Micropress cluster printing system, Konica Minolta says it can now provide a true alternative.
The system comes with Konica Minolta’s new generation polymerised toner, Simitri-HD (high definition), which delivers superior image quality with excellent colour reproduction, as well as impressive black density.
Simitri-HD’s new energy saving fusing process dramatically improves printing on many types of paper, and the small particle size achieves smoother tone reproduction from low to high density. In this field of technology, Konica Minolta says it has been awarded more patents than any other manufacturer since 1991.
David Procter, national operations manager – Digital Print Solutions, Konica Minolta Australia, says, “In addition to our very successful black and white production printing system the bizhub PRO 1050, we are now also able to offer a colour production system with the same flexible output options.
“We feel that the launch of the bizhub PRO C6500 range is further evidence of our competence and engineering excellence in the production environment.”
