Konica Minolta New Zealand says its participation in PacPrint 09 provoked positive reactions from Kiwis there who also gave a warm reception to the launch of the company’s new bizhub machine.

Hosting took place at the Konica Minolta business lounge and Océ exhibition stand. Paul Thomas, market development manager for Konica Minolta New Zealand, met with New Zealand business owners to discuss their specific requirements at both the Konica Minolta and Oce stands. He says, “To stay ahead of the competition you need to know where the market is going and what technology innovations are available. PacPrint events represent a fantastic opportunity for New Zealand businesses to view the latest technology coming onto the digital production and wide format markets.”

Thomas comments that the positive feedback from New Zealand attendees owed much to the benefits the new technology both Konica Minolta and Océ offered. He says, “One of the highlights for Konica Minolta was the launch of the Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C65HC. This innovative printing system features revolutionary High Chroma toner offering an unprecedented number of colours and exceptionally bright colour saturation for the graphic arts market. Users benefit from the large sRGB coverage area along with the facilitated sRGB colour workflow.”

He also says that Océ’s award-winning wide format ColorWave 600 caught the eye of many visitors with its patented Toner Pearl technology. HE adds, “It produces amazing results that are water-resistant and on a range of media, including plain and recycled papers.”
