Fast digital copier/printer
Konica Business Machines has launched the 7085 Document Production System, with a maximum A4 copy speed of 85 pages per minute.
The Bizhub Pro 1050, is said to be capable of handling paper up to 300gsm (simplex) and 244gsm (duplex) at a print speed of up to 6,300 A4 sheets an hour.
Thanks to the new agreement with Konica Minolta, Anacomp was able to provide this system to Propack - who subsequently ordered a second when the first proved a huge asset.
Neil Lloyd, the managing director of Propack, said: "We have relied on Anacomp's consultative, solution-based approach for a number of years, and we are very pleased with their recommendation of the Bizhub PRO 1050.
The system is very quick to set up for each job, processes awkward paper stock at high speed and requires very little personnel resource to oversee it.
Together, the two machines now process 80 per cent to 90 per cent of our total output, or around 1.4 million items per month, which was previously handled by a dozen different machines." He added: "It is also very important to us that Anacomp can match the quality of the machine with a top-notch maintenance service.
Their all-in approach has proved invaluable, as we receive a round-the-clock call-out maintenance service - and consumables are also bundled in to the click-rate cost model." Caroline Mannering, regional manager for Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK), commented: "As a specialist in top-end print production systems, Anacomp is an ideal partner to take the 1050 to market.
One of the company's key strengths is the combination of systems expertise and a highly skilled maintenance and service network.
It is very pleasing that two systems have already been installed and we expect strong take-up across Anacomp's client base.
I certainly envisage that our partnership will extend to other production systems in the future." Chris Haden, the managing director of Anacomp, added: "We have forged a strong reputation in the high speed laser printer market and this new partnership will further strengthen our service provision to the marketplace.
