The manufacturer’s new colour machines are being targeted at customers in the commercial print sector and offer print speeds of 60ppm and 71ppm, respectively.

Konica Minolta Australia said the machines will be available locally in “mid-November”, and that pricing is still being determined.

Designed to move Konica Minolta into the higher speed and volume sector for colour print, the bizhub Press range complements the company’s Pro series of machines for CRDs, copy shops and smaller printers.

The C6000 and C7000 machines can print at up to 1,200dpi and handle monthly volumes of around 330,000. A range of online finishing options are also available, including large capacity stacker, hole punching, folding, stapling, saddle stitching and perfect binding.

The machines also use Konica Minolta’s Simitri HD+ polymerised toner, which is claimed to offer improved image quality on low-temperature on thick substrates up to 300gsm.

The launch of the C6000 and C7000 comes hot on the heels of the C8000, which was first unveiled at this year’s Ipex and launched into the local market in August.
