Konica Minolta Launches New Monochrome Digital Production Print System

The bizhub PRO 951 delivers high-quality monochrome prints at up to 95 A4 pages per minute (5,700 p/h), huge maximum paper capacity of 9,000 sheets, and high toner capacity. The bizhub PRO 951 offers maximum productivity with minimal user intervention, with expected average volumes of between 80,000 and 300,000 prints and peaks of up to 1.5 million prints per month.

Superior LED print resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi in addition to Konica Minolta Simitri HD® polymerized toner delivers sharper text, more accurate graphics and smooth, realistic halftones. SRA3 standard size capability with a fully integrated media catalogue enables users to define their media profiles and achieve best results every print.

Modular inline finishing options, flexible paper handling and expanded paper capacity makes the bizhub PRO 951 a valuable, fully-customisable productivity resource for On-Demand digital printing. Capable of handling media substrates from 40 to 300gsm, and to a maximum of 350gsm with the optional large paper feed unit.

Tandem printing capability allows two (951) systems to process one job in parallel for a blazing output speed of 190 pages per minute, and the standard built-in print controller of the bizhub PRO 951 provides lightning-fast job processing.

“With the new bizhub PRO 951, we have succeeded in delivering high image quality, labour saving with in-line finishing options and increased customisation – all great reasons to rely on Konica Minolta,” said Grant Thomas, Product Manager, National Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Australia. “Our newest production print digital system responds to customer demands, particularly high-volume document needs in legal, healthcare and educational applications, by delivering enhanced reliability and productivity without compromise”.

Another advantage of the bizhub PRO 951 is its all-in-one staple finisher (FS-532), with modular options for saddle-stitch booklet-making, 2/3-hole punching, Z-folding and post-insertion. In addition, the PRO 951 supports the GP-501 Stream Hole Punch unit, enabling over 11 punch configurations on A4 media, for all binding formats.

Along with energy-saving modes and low-temperature fuser fixing, the bizhub PRO 951 supports Konica Minolta’s environmental sustainability initiatives by automatically shutting down power to areas not directly required for selected operations.
