Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, February 2013 – When it comes to flexible and highly productive monochrome production systems, the industry always pricks up its ears when Konica Minolta announces a new release. Now the time has come for a new series of systems to hit the Malaysian market. Although the bizhub systems PRESS 1052 and PRESS 1250, each have slightly different names, they are all based on the same excellent hardware customised by Konica Minolta engineers for the specific productivity and flexibility needs of different customers. All of these devices provide high print quality and additional features like screening and tone curve utility along with a vast array of finishing options.
This new printer series is exactly what commercial printers, print for pay environments and large central reprographic departments have been waiting for. It consists of the bizhub monochrome production printers PRESS 1052 and PRESS 1250.
All systems provide a print resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dots per inch (dpi) and offer high media flexibility. This includes the option to print on paper weights from 40 to 350 grams per square metre (gsm) in single-sided (simplex) printing and on paper of up to 300 gsm for duplex prints. Paper sizes up to 324 x 483 mm are supported and selectable through an intelligent media catalogue. Print speeds range from 105 A4 / 60 A3 pages per minute (ppm) for the bizhub PRESS 1052 and 125 A4 / 70 A3 ppm for the bizhub PRESS 1250.
All of the new printers also feature advanced software such as a professional screening utility and an extra utility for tone curve adjustments. With its maximum load of paper up to 18,000* sheets of paper, the printers will seamlessly process through a vacuum feeder. Over 50 configurations are available by combining a wide variety of finishers such as an automatic ring binder, a perfect binding unit and a finisher for professional saddle stitching as well as a stacker and many more. Other features include an exclusive envelope kit for envelope printing and an optional decurling unit with a humidifier unit.
*Optional Paper Tray is required
“Outstanding print quality and reliable performance are what will satisfy clients of the new bizhub production printers and guarantee them unbeaten profitability,” says Kelvin Yeoh, Production Printing Manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (M) Sdn. Bhd. “With our modular configuration concept the bizhub PRESS 1250 series is the most flexible system on the market and we are able to satisfy every company’s printing needs.”
