Konica Minolta Colour Series Rises To The Top In Low- To Mid-Speed Ranges
For their impressive overall performances, Konica Minolta’s 22-ppm bizhub C220, 28-ppm bizhub C280,
and 36-ppm bizhub C360 have earned Fall 2009 BLI “Pick” awards for “Outstanding A3 Colour MFPs” in
their respective speed ranges.
“The models offer exceptional ease of use and strong productivity in key test areas, while also proving to
be highly reliable, making a strong case for these as the best in business colour for Fall 2009,” said BLI
Assignments Editor George Mikolay.
Results of BLI’s job stream test in colour, which simulates real-world usage, were impressive, as all three
models achieved above-average efficiency from both the PCL and PostScript drivers. Black and colour
duplex copy and print efficiency results were also very good to outstanding overall, which is crucial as
users attempt to lower running costs and improve environmental friendliness.
All three models are also on the cutting edge for innovation. With the MyTab feature, a Spring 2009 BLI
“Outstanding Achievement” winner, commonly used print job selections can be configured and saved on
one tab, allowing users to take full advantage of the driver feature set with a minimum of fuss and less
risk of errors, as all required features can be viewed at a glance. Further, the Quick Copy tab allows
users to select features for a typical copy job from one tab. Third-party software developers can also
integrate their document management and cost accounting solutions with the devices via bizhub
Extended Solution Technology (bEST).
“We at Konica Minolta are honoured that BLI recognized all three of the systems in the bizhub
C360/C280/C220 Series of colour MFPs,” said Kevin Kern, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Konica
Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. “These awards echo the same sentiment we’re seeing in the
marketplace. Additionally, it’s great validation how our end-users can count on Konica Minolta to meet
the diverse needs of today's ever-changing workplace.”
