The third digital press using the "high chroma" high-saturation toner technology from
Konica Minolta since its inception in 2009, the
bizhub PRESS C71hc launched last week is based on the bizhub PRESS C1070 print engine, with several additional features derived from the "high chroma" technology.
This means wider color ranges than a traditional digital press, and prints with more vivid and saturated colors, especially among the greens and purples.
In addition to the specific formulation of Simitri HDE toner, a big advantage of the high chroma technology is that it supports RGB rather than CMYK management, making it attractive to photographers and those involved in the reproduction of photo books.
This digital release is NOW available in North America, Asia and Europe as the bizhub PRESS C71hc, but a PRO version is also available on the European market.
