Konica Minolta Launches SheetFeeder Roll Feed System Partnership for On Demand Printing to its bizhub PRESS Production Printer

Ramsey, NJ – May 13, 2016 – Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) is pleased to announce today the availability of the Tecnau SheetFeeder KM 2250. The SheetFeeder roll feed system cuts sheets from a large 50” diameter roll and feeds them on demand to the bizhub PRESS Monochrome Digital Production Printer for up to 14 hours of uninterrupted time. The SheetFeeder KM 2250 sits next to the input side of the printer and includes a quick-change unwinder and precision cutter.

The Tecnau SheetFeeder KM 2250 enhances the performance of the bizhub PRESS, providing the following benefits:

• Long-run Productivity: increases output, reducing downtime and minimizing the need for operator intervention.
• Lowers Paper Costs: purchasing paper in rolls instead of sheets can save 20% or more on non-commodity papers.
• Handle Multiple Job Specs: SheetFeeder options allow for run pre-printed forms, perform hole-punching and more – allowing additional run applications inline for faster, more cost-effective print output.
• Eco-Friendly Reliability: reliable sheet transport, with a patented single sheet feeding mechanism, feeds sheets to the print engine on demand.

SheetFeeder KM 2250 creates all form sizes the printer can handle, right up to a large 13×19.2″ sheet, over the printer’s basis weight range of 40 to 350 gsm.

Currently the Tecnau SheetFeeder KM 2250 is compatible with the following monochrome bizhub PRESS models:

“The Tecnau SheetFeeder KM 2250 offers customers the best solution to meet their needs making this a great addition — users print more in less time while lowering paper and labor costs,” said Kevin Kern, senior vice president, Business Intelligence Solutions. “Users may switch between 8.5 x 11″ and 11 x 17″ applications without changing rolls delivering maximum performance and image quality.”
