bizhub PRO 1051/1200/1200P, production systemsSingular quality, performancebeyond comparisonThe secret behind all business success is profitability, and the essential ingredients for profitability in the productionprinting environment are speed, efficiency, flexibility, productivity and reliability, in addition to excellent quality thisis what digital print providers, commercial printers and in-house print rooms depend upon to diversify their services,and ensure top performance ahead of their competitors.In the bizhub PRO 1051/1200 series, Konica Minolta has combined these important assets with a truly amazingblack & white print quality which sets a new industry standard, surpassing anything previously achieved. WithA4 production speeds of 120 and 105 pages per minute, the bizhub PRO 1051/1200, the bizhub PRO 1051/1200Pand the bizhub PRO 1051 promise highest throughput to meet the most demanding deadlines, leaving little to bedesired among the discerning professionals in this business.n Various innovations in the bizhub PRO 1051/1200series produce the inimitable print quality thatcharacterises these products. Among these are theextremely precise LED exposure with impressive1200 dpi resolution, the advanced and highlystable transfer belt technology, and KonicaMinolta’s unique enhanced screening technology.n In combination with Konica Minolta’s proprietarySimitri toner, these technological advancementsachieve the outstanding and absolutely consistentprint quality that satisfies the most demandingcustomer, as it enables profitable short-runproduction of the most diverse print formats.

n With more than 40 different system configurations,the bizhub PRO 1051/1200 series promisesunparalleled modularity and provides virtuallylimitless flexibility and customisation to individualuser demands.n In the bizhub PRO 1051/1200 series Konica Minoltatakes its renowned media flexibility to new heights.These systems process a range of media from 40 toan unbelievable 350 gsm and can be configured to acapacity of up to 14,000 sheets supplied in 8 papertrays – multiplying the scope of sophisticated printproducts that can be produced at the touch of abutton.n Several components in the bizhub PRO 1051/1200series incorporate advanced technology thatstreamlines production and post production. A truehighlight is the new paper feed unit featuring vacuumfeed technology. It can also be used as a postinsertion unit boosting flexibility, or alternatively thebrand-new smart GBC punch option for high-speedinline production of prints ready for spiral binding.n The bizhub PRO 1051/1200 series extensive rangeof finishing options enables the inline combination ofbooklet maker, perfect binder and staple finisherin a single digital production system. Such amazingfinishing versatility speeds up production andenhances the overall performance, increasingthroughput, turnover and ultimately profit.Konica Minolta has equipped the new bizhub PRO1051/1200 series with an array of advanced technologies that make production environments economically efficient and fit for the future by satisfyingthe highest demands on quality, performance andreliability for years to come.

bizhub PRO 1051/1200/1200P, production systemsTechnology and quality:state-of-the-artThe bizhub PRO 1051/1200 series produces an image quality that is quite simply brilliant and goes beyondanything ever achieved before with a black and white production system. Outstanding black coverage as wellas amazingly smooth gradations and halftones enhances the prints. All three systems, the bizhub 1200, the bizhubPRO 1051/1200P and the bizhub PRO 1051, impress with the finest line reproduction in the industry maintaining stableprint quality even in extensive print cycles. The advanced properties of Konica Minolta’s Simitri polymerised tonerfurther contribute to this matchless quality. Beyond that, comprehensive quality adjustment possibilities including theunique Tone Curve Utility make catering for customers’ specific quality requirements quick and simple.n Konica Minolta’s pioneering LED exposure technology achieves an outstanding print resolution of1,200 dpi in combination with full 256 grey scaleswith each screening type and frequency, tremendouslyimproving the faithful reproduction of text, photos,images, illustrations and other graphic elements inprints.n One of the fundamental benefits for the user is theextensive adjustment choices available in the bizhubPRO 1051/1200 series. For the screening type alonethe operator can choose among optimised photo &text (default), photo and text modes. In addition, thedot screen mode enables the user to always applythe best suited screening type and frequency (lpi) tothe individual print job.

Tone Curve Utility n Konica Minolta’s unique Tone Curve Utilityincorporates a user tool to change RIP adjustmentssuch as screening and tone curves, including thecustomisation of the screening angle and dot shape.The operator can choose among predefined tone curvesand create individual curves with simple drag and dropaction, setting customised profiles as a controller defaultor storing them on the RIP for instant recall in the printerdriver. With this comprehensive functionality the operatorgains complete control for flexible optimisation of theprint quality.n A newly adopted CIE functionality improves thereproduction of colour-based documents wheneverrequired. RGB colour data is transposed to the CIEcolour space, providing grey gradations with muchmore differentiation than when printing colour datawithout transformation.n No less important, Konica Minolta’s proprietarySimitri toner is another element to guarantee anexcellent image quality. Simitri ensures superiorhalftone definition and solids. Its minuscule tonerparticles provide clarity and definition to every tinydetail in the printed image.n Thanks to the innovative transfer belt technology, thetoner image is brought onto the paper with less diffusion than ever, achieving the highest precision yet.This is beneficial in particular to the important frontto-back registration.
