Multi-Function Printers Wins BERTL Best
Awards

Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA has won the BERTL best award in six categories.

Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA has won the BERTL best award in six categories Bill Brewster, vice president of marketing at Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA, commented: "Konica Minolta is honoured to be a recipient of six BERTL's best awards

We are especially pleased with the BERTL innovation awards, recognising our drive to improve and advance the multi-functional product (MFP) industry.

The fact that both our Bizhub and Bizhub Pro colour and monochrome products were recognised for their performance and value by one of the leading testing companies in the industry is independent validation that our feature set, performance and reliability puts us in a good position to continue to grow our market share in key industry segments." Konicaq Minolta was awarded BERTL's best for the best departmental colour MFP range with an outstanding print feature set for the Bizhub C352/C450/C550.

The product line excelled within the colour MFP range with an array of media supported through both main trays, as well as the duplex unit.

Their ability to make complex tasks easy by storing multiple lists with page-by-page programming sets the document production capabilities apart from rival devices, believes Konica Minolta.

Winning the best desktop document management application, the company's Unity reflects the fact that as the integration between the desktop and the walk-up MFPs becomes more important to the successful management of document workflows.

BERTL recognised that some applications have taken the desktop experience to the next level.

Konica Minolta Unity's user interface took no time for BERTL analysts to master, said the company.

the system's navigation through the Windows folder system does not need to pull files for further processing in to specific application locations.

Unity also has drag and drop functions with a range of standard workflows that makes it a valuable time saving resource.

The award for the best light production monochrome MFP range with an outstanding print feature set went to Konica Minolta's Bizhub Pro 920/1050.

When jobs get too big or too complex for a departmental device to handle, the light production device takes over, said the company.

Commonly located in central reprographic departments (CRDs), a light production device will usually be used by a trained operator, who is being paid to get the most out of the device.

With a CRD operator, often managing multiple devices and carrying out off-line finishing, packing and distribution tasks, it is important that a light production device be kept productive with the minimum of operator intervention, whether carrying out copy, print or scan tasks, according to the company.

The Bizhub Pro 920 and 1050 maintain the scope of on-line document production capabilities.

Their user interfaces, from the desktop and the devices, facilitate complex document production tasks to be completed with minimum fuss, said Konica Minolta.

The Bizhub Pro 920 and 1050 are said to combine good image quality, Konica Minolta's Printgroove system and paper handling.

BERTL is said to be one of the best sources for objective, independent product evaluation reports and comparative analyses on digital imaging devices and workflow systems.

BERTL focused on the user and the business dynamics when putting together this year's 'best of the best' awards. Request a free brochure from Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK ...
