Excellent reliability, superior print quality and a user-friendly design have earned the Konica Minolta bizhub C253 “Pick” recognition in Segment 2 colour. 

“In addition to its excellent reliability, the bizhub C253’s rated drum yields are above average, and the drums are user-replaceable, enabling maximum uptime and minimal downtime,” said BLI Manager of Laboratory Testing Pete Emory.

 

Ease of use was also very good, beginning with the device’s large, full-colour touch-screen control panel, which can be set to one of two copy-centric interfaces depending on the preference of the user, as well as customized with the addition of two menu entries (from a selection of 40) to make frequently used functions more accessible. Print driver ease of use was also found to be very good, and an EFI Fiery controller is available for organizations that have more exacting colour standards. The device also supports an excellent security suite that includes standard hard drive overwrite.

 

"It is great to see further recognition of the bizhub line-up in the segments that account for most sales in the industry," said Jeremy Lane, Product Marketing Manager for Konica Minolta Office Technology. "The complete line-up of next generation bizhubs has taken the market by storm and this huge success can be in no small part attributed to the high quality colour print output, sophisticated tls for sharing and using data, and fantastic ease of use. Many customers have also commented they look very stylish, with the all black design."
