Konica Minolta unveils
printing system
K
onica Minolta launched the
Bizhub Press C71hc, which
provides printing services based
on advanced colour reproduction
capabilities of the manufacturer’s
proprietary high-chroma toner.There has been an increase in the
need for printing product images or
photo albums from digital cameras
along with aligning online and printed
communication. The demand for
precise reproduction of RGB workflows
has increased too. A typical CYMK
printer may not be able to bring out
‘super’ vivid colours in a print due
to a narrower colour range. Konica
Minolta’s new offering has an extended
colour range that is closer to sRGB.Another feature of this machine is itscombination
with
workflow
software—
the Print
Xpress. Armed
with booklet
production,
binding, auto
ring binding and
stacking capacity
of up to 10,000
sheets allow one-
step printing and
finishing without
any manual intervention.Yuji Nakata, Managing Director,
Konica Minolta India says, “The colour
production printing market is steadily
growing and there can be no doubtthat RGB data and the high-chroma
technology will continue to increase
in importance in the future. In this
context, Konica Minolta is proud to
introduce the 3rd generation of high-
chroma products with the new Bizhub
Press C71hc.”Experience abstract
