(<a href="http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/content/home/index.html" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="Konica Minolta">Konica Minolta</a>), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies from the desktop to the print shop, today announced the introduction of three new multifunctional products (MFPs - print, copy, fax, and scan all in one system) designed to provide outstanding color output for color environments and replace monochrome products.  The <a href="http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/content/products/models/bizhubC353.html" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="bizhub C353">bizhub C353</a>, <a href="http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/content/products/models/bizhubC253.html" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="bizhub C253">bizhub C253</a> and <a href="http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/content/products/models/bizhubC203.html" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="bizhub C203">bizhub C203</a>, which are ideal for small- to mid-size departments and workgroups, feature many of the same extensive security, printing, copying and scanning features found on Konica Minolta bizhub&#8482; MFPs geared toward large organizations. 



All three newly unveiled networked MFPs enable organizations to have a centralized &quot;hub&quot; that allows them to improve their workflow efficiency and document management with a comprehensive and cost-effective color solution.  The bizhub C353, bizhub C253 and bizhub C203 devices offer outstanding standard security capabilities, so that confidentiality and protection against data theft is available at all levels.

&quot;The bizhub C353/C253/C203 MFPs provide our customers with an ideal fit for color environments,&quot; said Kevin P. Kern, vice president, product planning and marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc.  &quot;These products prove just how easy and cost-effective it is to migrate to color printing, and if you&#039;re already using color, how seamless it is to upgrade to higher-quality machines.  Best of all, these products leverage Konica Minolta&#039;s complete platform of new imaging and networking products across numerous printing segments.&quot;

The trio targets Segments 1, 2 and 3, with the bizhub C353 offering 35 color pages per minute and improved productivity across the board - whether it&#039;s duplex copy, scan speed, or warm-up time.  Additionally, both the bizhub C353 and bizhub C253, which offers 25 ppm in color, are capable of supporting color output environments such as graphic arts, marketing, and advertising departments that require the capabilities that an EFI Fiery Controller can provide.

Additionally, Konica Minolta was among the first in the market to support the XML Paper Specification (XPS) file format and Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS).  XPS, the Windows Vista file format, allows users to more accurately and productively reproduce the layout and color of the original document on the printed image.  The bizhub C353/C253/C203 Series contain a native XPS interpreter designed and developed by Konica Minolta, as an extension of the Konica Minolta Emperon&#8482; print technology, designed to take full advantage of this exciting new document format.

DPWS, Microsoft&#039;s new Windows Vista protocol, makes it possible to deliver improved network connectivity, allowing the user to search and install MFPs and print devices more easily.  In addition, the technology provides an optimized user experience for sending and receiving documents on the network.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ramsey, NJ  (PRWEB) March 21, 2007 - Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies, today introduced the bizhub&#8482; C550, marking the launch of the next-generation of its award-winning bizhub product line. The revolutionary new line of network-enabled multi-function peripherals (MFPs) is designed to offer a true monochrome copier replacement  and significant quality and performance enhancements when replacing color MFPs.  The next-generation of bizhub MFPs will also provide innovative security features and allows IT administrators to painlessly administer Digital MFP&#039;s on their networks.  



The next-generation bizhub product line represents a significant leap forward in MFP functionality, and is positioned to strengthen Konica Minolta&#039;s hold on the number one market share position for 21+ pages per minute (ppm) color laser MFP shipments in the United States*.  Building upon the success of the original bizhub series, which was first launched in 2004, this next-generation bizhub line - starting with the introduction of the bizhub C550 - will allow network administrators to view digital MFPs as core components of their IT networks. 

&quot;Our goal with the our bizhub product line is to offer customers a full portfolio of MFP products that deliver unprecedented digital connectivity, exceptional color print quality, and improved workflow capabilities at breakthrough price points. In doing so we have been able to achieve the number one spot in multiple color market segments*,&quot; said Jun Haraguchi, president and CEO, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. &quot;The next-generation bizhub product line represents one of the most anticipated product advancements in recent Konica Minolta history, and allows us to continue the legacy of innovation in color imaging that will bring color imaging to the next level.&quot;

Rapid Shift to Color and Digital Networked Solutions 
In calendar year 2006, Konica Minolta recorded more than 30 percent year-over-year growth in the color marketplace, and as such Konica Minolta&#039;s brand value has steadily increased both in the United States and worldwide.  Konica Minolta continues to maintain its leadership position within the market based on having the most popular and diverse lineup of products with digital connectivity tailored to the industry, and the No. 1 U.S. market share position in Konica Minolta&#039;s key color laser MFP segments (Color 21+ ppm)*.

Due to exceptional price performance and a wide range of products within the next-generation bizhub multi-functional product line, Konica Minolta is leading the end-user transition to color products in offices of all sizes.

Next-generation bizhub - Dynamic Advancements
Dynamic Design - Konica Minolta went against standard convention in designing the next-generation bizhub.  From the new dramatic design and small footprint to the full-color LCD panel, the next-generation of bizhub MFPs was designed to blend in with today&#039;s work environment.

Building upon the success of the original bizhub series, which was first launched in 2004, this next-generation bizhub line - starting with the introduction of the bizhub C550 - will allow network administrators to view digital MFPs as core components of their IT networks.
