Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) has launched the Bizhub PRO 1050 production print system with a claimed maximum throughput of 6,300 impressions an hour (105 prints per minute).
Featuring 600 dots per inch (dpi) x 600dpi print and copy resolution (1,200dpi x 600dpi emulation) with 256 grayscale levels, the Bizhub PRO 920 produces clear text, sharp edges and smooth halftones, said KMBS.
It uses Konica Minolta's Simitri polymerised toner, which is said to have smaller, smoother, more uniform toner particles for more even distribution, which the company believes is significantly better for fine line definition and better solid fills.
The Bizhub PRO 920's IC-203 embedded print controller features PCL5e/6 and optional Postscript Level 3, with direct PDF and TIFF printing, scan-to-SMB (desktop), scan-to-email, scan-to-hard drive and scan-to-FTP functions, all at up to 600dpi resolution, said KMBS.
Standard memory is 256Mb with a 40Gb hard drive for storage.
The bizhub PRO 920's User Box feature supports each of the device's functions - copy, print and scan.
With a total of 1,000 user boxes and the ability to store up to 3,000 documents, users can manage individual User Boxes, create public and private User Boxes, assign passwords and restrict the number of files stored, added the company.
Designed as a modular system the Bizhub PRO 920 has a range of document finishing options for collating, folding, punching, binding and booklet production.
Advanced features include trimming and saddle stitching, Z folding, post insertion of pre-printed covers and printing of stamps and watermarks.
KMBS said that in its opinion, due to the importance of document security and document management in today's business environment, the Bizhub PRO 920 is ISO-15408 certified and supports hard disk drive overwrite and 'job erase', which automatically overwrites the hard disk drive after each job.
The Bizhub PRO 920 also offers user authentication with NDS capability to protect a user job by prohibiting its modification or deletion.
With user authentication, it is also possible to enable or disable each user's access to the device, based on function - copy, print, scan, fax and hold job control.
Commenting on the launch of the latest Bizhub, Jos Kelly, head of production print for Konica Minolta Business Solutions said: "The launch of the Bizhub PRO 920 reinforces our product offering in the high volume sector.
The Bizhub PRO 920 has been designed specifically for the demanding needs of the dedicated in-house central reprographic department and copyshop.
Those environments not only require high performance but also reliability and outstanding service. Request a free brochure from Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK ...
