Ramsey, NJ (February 16, 2017) – Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc., Responding to the latest market trends and client needs in the area of office printing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions US.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), has recently refreshed its portfolio. With the launch of the new bizhub 458/558 series, Konica Minolta presents premium monochrome office devices, replacing the successful bizhub 454e/554e series. The new series offers even more premium functionalities and finishing modes, while being highly reliable and productive. This combination enables the devices to complement existing, modern office printing environments perfectly.
The models are ideal for mid- to large-sized workgroups and developed to ensure high performance in any office environment. The control panel also offers direct access to downloadable apps from Konica Minolta’s bizhub MarketPlace.
Easy Integration and Operation
Particularly in an OPS (Optimized Print Services) environment, in which color devices, A4 printers and software solutions are being integrated, the new series offers great value. The smooth integration in workflows streamlines processes and guarantees getting jobs done in a highly efficient way. Similar to Konica Minolta’s other multifunctional printers (MFPs), the new series has been developed according to the “Know one – operate many” principle, which means that users, once they get used to the Konica Minolta user interface, can easily operate any other bizhub MFP. This principle also supports the seamless integration of new devices into existing MFP environments, especially benefitting large accounts.
Improved Usability, Flexibility and Customization
The 9-inch multi-touch panel provides smart and smooth operability. All devices allow flexible adaptation and customization of the panel and printer driver interface to meet specific customer needs and make the operation even more convenient. Versatile finishing options enable users to produce various materials in-house, offering high flexibility if materials are required on short-notice, and the high paper input capacity allows for running large jobs without any interruptions.
“This user-friendly series meets the needs of our customers in various work environments making it an ideal solution,” said Dino Pagliarello, vice president, Product Management and Planning, Konica Minolta. “These updated models offer connected and mobile features that play into our ‘work from anywhere, anytime’ credo.”
The 458 and 558 are available immediately for purchase through Konica Minolta direct and channel partners.
