The Konica Minolta Bizhub Pro C6000L

Birmingham-based direct mail fulfilment and print management services provider, Baker Goodchild, has invested in a Konica Minolta Bizhub Pro C6000L, to improve its functionality.

The machine will increase production turnaround times for both direct mail and variable data print (VDP) applications.

The Bizhub Pro has print and copy speed capabilities of up to 60 pages/min, and up to 4250 pages input capacity for long print runs, together with double-sided printing up to A3 in size. This version also comes complete with a Booklet Finisher. 

A 1200 x 1200 dpi image resolution quality provides a versatile scanning capability for the reproduction of images, text, graphics and tonal gradations. It also comes equipped with a four GB RAM HDD, and is capable of handling substrates up to 300 gsm in thickness. 

Absolute print production consistency is also provided with Konica Minolta’s advanced colour processing technologies, which include S.E.A.D. II imaging, FM screening, stability monitoring and density control. 

The addition of the Bizhub Pro C6000L follows the purchase of five Ricoh Pro 116 EX high-speed mono printers and an Astrojet 3800 high speed address ink-jetter, all of which were acquired in July last year.

Managing director Lorraine Burnell said, ‘We looked at adding to our existing capabilities to provide a flexible, variable data print option, that not only provided speed, but also functionality and cost-saving benefit options to both ourselves, and more importantly our customers’ requirements. The Bizhub Pro C6000L provided all those capabilities and more.

‘With the addition of this new equipment we have not only added to our services but expanded them. We feel it is important that we look to not only update, but also increase our options to customers, so we keep ahead of their requirements and can maintain and expand our quick, cost efficient and reliable service turnaround.’
