The production line award incorporates the bizhub Press C8000 and C7000 as well as the bizhub Pro 1200. This is the fifth time in 2011 that Konica Minolta has received accolades from BERTL for its award-winning production printing portfolio.

Art Wynne, president of BERTL says, “Our analysts were impressed with how Konica Minolta’s production print systems performed during testing. The bizhub Press series continues to impress us, earning Konica Minolta the Best Production Line of the Year distinction.”

Also commenting, David Procter, general manager production printing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Australia says, “This recognition from BERTL is a great honour for Konica Minolta and is validation of our ongoing efforts to provide our customers with high-class solutions for all their digital production printing needs.

“With the independent voice of BERTL praising our production product line, our customers can be assured they’ll be receiving award-winning innovative technology and market-leading performance.”

Earlier this year, Konica Minolta earned multiple Spring 2011 BERTL’s Best awards, including the Best Colour Production System for the bizhub PRESS C8000, the Best Colour Light Production System for the bizhub PRESS C7000 and the Best Monochrome Production System for the bizhub PRO 1200.

In March this year, BERTL gave the bizhub PRESS C8000 its Exceptional Certified Five Star award.

Since 1995, the BERTL’s Best award has recognised the best devices, software and product lines in the digital imaging marketplace that were launched during the year.

The categories are based on desktop, workgroup, departmental and production work environments. BERTL analysts’ reviews identify the select group of devices and software that stand apart from the rest.
