bizhub C20P/C20PX Printer Line Offers Versatility, Low Cost and High Quality
Ramsey, N.J. – May 19, 2008 – Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta – www.kmbs.konicaminolta.us), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies for the desktop to the print shop, announces the availability of the bizhub C20P Series of network-ready laser printers. Ideal for small- and mid-sized business (SMBs) because of their small footprint and quiet operation, the bizhub(TM) C20P Series is built upon the strong success of the well-established bizhub series of printers. This new series of bizhub printers carries over a new design, an InfoLine-style display and an acoustic noise level of only 52 decibels. The printers, which print black and white and color at 25 pages per minute, offer the benefit of superior performance at a low total cost of ownership.
“These two color laser printers round out our product offerings in our bizhub printer line, giving customers the right printers they need to meet their blended printing needs,” said Kevin P. Kern, vice president, marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. “SMBs are looking for affordable color printing, and with the bizhub C20P Series of network printers, Konica Minolta is delivering a better alternative for this growing market.
The bizhub C20P Series increases productivity for workgroups by offering fast first print times of less than 15 seconds; a warm up time of 35 seconds or less from stand by; and an automatic duplexer for two-sided printing is standard. The bizhub C20P Series is designed to be a full-color network solution ideal for small business teams as well as large workgroups in an enterprise setting. Combining ease of setup and professional on demand printing, the bizhub C20P Series incorporates many innovative features such as the Emperon(TM) Print System and Simitri(R) HD (High Definition) Color Polymerized Toner. The bizhub C20P series comes equipped with the newest Emperon version available, featuring IPv6, PDF, PostScript 3, and Microsoft Vista and WSD support (WSD is a new protocol developed by Microsoft to improve auto discovery of devices).
