- High-performance bizhub OP design. Combines three essential advantages for multifunctional productivity: bizhub Architecture to improve performance and account/device management, the Emperon® Print System to integrate fast document output with simple user interface, and bizhub Extended Solution Technology (bEST) for custom integration with future third-party software.
- Simitri® Polymerized Toner. The exclusive Konica Minolta technology that uses ultra-fine particles of smaller size and more consistent shape to sharpen image detail, make text more legible and increase halftone definition.
