Best cut-sheet colour printer in the light production market: EDP Award for Konica Minolta’s bizhub PRESS C1070
Langenhagen, June 2014
For the second year running, Konica Minolta has received an award from the renowned
European Digital Press Association (EDP). The bizhub PRESS C1070 has beaten the
competition this year to win in the “Best cut-sheet colour printer – light production”
category. In winning the EDP award, Konica Minolta has once again demonstrated its
expertise and success in the European production printing market.
The EDP Association counts 20 of Europe’s leading digital print magazines as its members
and reaches more than half a million readers. During a special EDP General Assembly,
representatives of all the member magazines – including digital print specialists, journalists,
technical consultants and industry representatives – discussed the quality of the products that
had been submitted for the award. Finally they decided which product deserved an EDP
trophy. Decision criteria included aspects such as value to the user, customer support and
services.
“Having won EDP Awards in 2009, 2011 and 2013, we are delighted to have impressed the
jury again this year with our bizhub PRESS C1070. We are pleased that our ongoing
objective of creating outstanding products that offer our customers substantial added value is
gaining international approval. Our aim is to build on this success by evolving our portfolio
and impressing our customers with a consistently strong performance,” comments Karl-
Friedrich Edenhuizen, Product Manager, Production Printing Group, International Marketing
Division.
The bizhub PRESS C1070 for digital colour printing brings power, performance and simplicity
to any production print application. It combines output speeds of up to 71 pages per minute
with familiar PC-like operation features, such as a hand-held mouse, and a large 15-inch
colour touch-screen display. Furthermore, the colour production printer’s wide range of
functions to control image and colour density and its versatile inline finishing options meet all
production requirements.
