bizhub PRO 754TECHNOLOGY

bizhub PRO 754 5

S.E.A.D.

As proprietary Konica Minolta technology, S.E.A.D. stands for “Screen-Enhancing Active Digital Process” and combines various technical innovations to guarantee impeccable black & white reproduction at top speed. Konica Minolta’s advanced processing technology includes these important capabilities:

– 600 x 1,800 dpi print resolution With the physical print resolution of 600 x 1,800 dpi, bizhub PRO 754 offers high-quality output for images and graphics, and smooth gradation. For the extra support of fine line reproduction and the very small characters in maps and similar documents, for example, the bizhub PRO 754 can be switched to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi for high precision printing for text and fine lines.

– Screen technology Depending on the different image objects on one page – photos, graphics and text – bizhub PRO 754 automatically applies the best print screening to ensure smooth, even or sharp reproduction for a perfect match of the print data.

– ITbit technology Outline processing improves the appearance of characters by thinning them so they do not appear fat. Contour processing helps to reproduce white characters on backgrounds with ideal proportions and reduces jagged edges of half-tone characters.

– Image stability Short-interval stability control monitors image consist-ency on the bizhub PRO 754 during continuous printing without affecting performance. Corrections are fully automatic and improve the stability of the image quality, while the whole process considerably enhances produc-tion efficiency. To avoid production interruptions, the stability system analyses incoming print jobs and carries out stabilisation at the start or at the end of the print run.

– Retention and stability In addition to internal monitoring, the system also checks for ambient changes to temperature and humid-ity as these might influence the print quality. The bizhub PRO 754 automatically adapts to any changes that are detected and thus keeps its stability over the complete print run.

ARDS – Auto Refining Developer System

The innovative ARDS technology ensures a consistently high image quality while maximising consumables yield. It regularly refreshes the consumables inside the bizhub PRO 754, which increases the lifetime and improves the black and white image quality. As a result, this intelligent system supports a stable image quality over the long term, while at the same time making black & white printing more economical.

Simitri® HD polymerised toner

As an essential requirement in production printing, the bizhub PRO 754 delivers a superior image quality as well as impressive density with their unique Simitri® HD polymer-ised toner. Simitri® HD also ensures unparalleled image stability and with its reduced fusing temperature supports a truly impressive range of media.

bizhub PRO 754BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The production print market is undergoing significant changes today. Accelerated by the recent eco-nomic downturn, the number of printing businesses is in decline, total print volume is decreasing and an increasing number of print applications are being transferred to electronic media.

Informed printing companies know that they need to grow their print business, increase profit margins and generate new revenues. To support customers in achieving this, Konica Minolta has launched Digital1234; a comprehensive business development program that puts the focus upon the customer’s needs to enable his business.

The key question is ‘How can we enable your business today?’ The solution to most business challenges can simply be answered with “by saving you money, increasing your profit, adding new services and making you more productive.” The Digital1234 business building program has been designed for simplicity and encourages businesses to take an opportunity-based approach – to start driving a better business. Using four practical steps the customer is guided and coached on how to identify, assess, justify and implement new business opportunities.

The basic concept features these four steps, giving advice through the business process: Why should I invest in this opportunity? How can I fit this into my existing business? Who has experienced it and can tell me about it? What steps should I take to be successful with this new opportunity?

Starting with “why”, Digital1234 uses simple opportunity-based papers written by credible industry partners, who explore each business opportunity. The second step focuses upon the “how”, by using simple assessment questions set by a panel of international and independent business experts. The third step, the “who”, describes the story behind the business success while the fourth step provides business resources for download to help customers prosper in their business, such as business focused implementation guides written by industry consultants.

Variable data printing

– What is most unique about digital printing? – You can customise every page within one

print run and thus create a unique, targeted and relevant message for each recipient.

– This is called “Variable Data Printing” (or VDP).

– Direct mail can be more personal: – “Dear Sir or Madam” will become “Dear Paul”.

– This is the unique value proposition with digital printing that cannot be achieved with traditional printing.

– Studies have shown: the more you zoom in on your readers, the more effective your message will be.

– On average personalised marketing collateral leads to 31% greater profits compared to general marketing materials.

– As a print provider you can charge more for VDP jobs, and your customer gets a better response per piece.

– More profit for you – more business for your customer.

Workflow

– Did you know that for every Euro spent on print, another six Euros is spent on the process surrounding the actual printing?

– This is often called “workflow” and is the

key to achieving maximum efficiency and reducing manual touch points!

– The more you automate this process, the more improvements in efficiency you can achieve.

– Improving your workflow is the best place to focus your attention to get better business results.

– Workflow can shorten the distance between you and your customers.

– A good example of automation is a combined hybrid workflow.

– It provides the ultimate production flexibility and maximises the utilisation of both your digital and offset equipment.

– This allows you to calculate the financial cross over point between digital and offset; you can choose at the last minute which technology is most cost efficient.

– The essence of a good production work-flow can be summarised in one sentence: The less time you spend on the technology of print production, the more time you can spend on your important tasks.
