Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS 1250 wins the 2014 PRO Award for “Outstanding Monochrome LIght-To-Mid-Volume Production Device”
Konica Minolta’s Productivity Unrivaled.
The only model in its class to have earned BLI’s 5-star rating for productivity, the Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS 1250 has won the 2014 PRO award for “Outstanding Monochrome Light-to-Mid-Volume Production Device.” “The bizhub PRESS 1250 is a true production workhorse,” said David Sweetnam, head of BLI’s European Research and Lab Services.
Its throughput speeds were among the fastest tested to date on heavy-grade stocks and better than those of competitors with A3 and SRA3 media. It also handled mixed-media workflows well and experienced virtually no drop-off in rated speed when running sub-set stapling and perfect bindery jobs.
“The bizhub PRESS 1250’s outstanding productivity and media handling, along with the wealth of feedback it provides, ensure that jobs will not only get done quickly, but with minimal interruptions,” added Sweetnam. “Plus, a new tandem print ability further boosts productivity by allowing a job to be split across two devices.”
Highly customizable from base to full configuration, the bizhub PRESS 1250 can be tailored to the specific needs of various environments. The control panel is easy to master, and provides detailed information on device status, consumables and paper levels, RIP resources and the job queue. And unlike with some competitors, the custom media catalog is fully integrated with the print driver. Another plus for operators is the Scheduler feature, which uses colour coding to indicate to operators when certain paper types need to be replenished.
“We are pleased and honoured to receive this award,” said Jonathan Yeo, general manager, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia. “Konica Minolta understands speed and flexibility are key to business performance. Our digital production printing systems and solutions are designed to help move our customers’ business forward.”
